Bootstrap Carousel Slider is not working

Quick answerby artf❤ 1

Sorry but the issue tracker is mainly for bugs in the core grapesjs module and I believe in this case you should instantiate the bootstrap.Carousel manually via JS (eg. by creating a custom component with JS) as the editor has to load canvas-related styles/scripts before the content.

How to reproduce the bug?

... Add Bootstrap in GrapesJS init function
... Add Slider component as per bootstrap documentation
... Slider shows only first image and image doesn't change

What is the expected behavior? ... Slider should start with first image and animate till the last image

What is the current behavior? ... Slider shows just first active image and then nothing happens at all

If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:

The HTML I am using is

This is Grapes JS init function

grapesjs.init({
    container: "#gjs",
    fromElement: true,
    plugins: ["gjs-preset-newsletter", "grapesjs-lory-slider"],
    pluginsOpts: {
      "gjs-preset-newsletter": {
        modalTitleImport: "Import template",
      },
      "grapesjs-lory-slider": {},
    },
    canvas: {
      styles: [
        "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
      ],
      scripts: [
        "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js",
      ],
    },

Hi Arthur, is there any way of getting screen sized specific styles in grapesjs, like different styles based on media query styles ?

Thanks for reporting this, @shelendravashishtha2.

Great question about Bootstrap Carousel Slider is not working. 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));
