GrapesJS version
- I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS
What browser are you using?
Chrome Version 102.0.5005.115 (Official Build) (arm64)

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Launch demo with touch controls enabled
- Add an image
- Resize image using resizer handles with touch enabled
What is the expected behavior? Image gets resized as normal
What is the current behavior? Nothing happens
Possible fix:
From my understanding, the resizer works using HTML's draggable attribute. Setting draggable="true" on the resizer's handlers through Dev tools actually makes it work fine. Perhaps that's all what's missing?

Thanks for reporting this, @m-jojo-s.
Great question about resizer does not work with touch - draggable attribute not set on handlers. The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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));
