Describe the bug
Please help me understand how to fix everything that this update broke. I don't understand why you wouldn't make it compatible with the old way. But please tell me what I need to change from this example:
storageManager: { type: 'remote', urlStore: 'save.php', urlLoad: 'load.php', storeComponents: true, // Enable/Disable storing of components in JSON format storeStyles: true, // Enable/Disable storing of rules/style in JSON format storeHtml: true, // Enable/Disable storing of components as HTML string storeCss: true, stepsBeforeSave: 1, autosave: true, autoload: true, contentTypeJson: true, json_encode:{ 'components': [],
'css': [],
'html': [],
'style': []
}
},
LOAD & SAVE PHP FILES:
$html='database table for HTML'
$css = 'database table for CSS';
$response = [
'html' => $html,
'css' => $css,
];
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($response);

@clonefunnels I made a quick function to load data with backwards compatibility:
async function load(editor: grapesjs.Editor) {
const { Parser } = editor;
const data = await editor.StorageManager.load({});
if (!data.pages) data.pages = [{ id: '1', frames: [{ component: data.components ?? Parser.parseHtml(data.html)['html'] }] }];
if (!data.styles) data.styles = data.css ? Parser.parseCss(data.css) : undefined;
data['css'] = undefined;
data['html'] = undefined;
data['components'] = undefined;
data['assets'] ??= [];
//@ts-ignore
editor.loadProjectData(data);
}
@artf Quick sidenote: editor.loadProjectData should be added to the type declarations

Thanks for reporting this, @clonefunnels.
Great question about All editors broken after last update that broke storage manager.. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
