Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
I'm unable to reproduce this on JSFiddle, but that sort of makes sense.
#4373 has introduced a bug in editor.setComponents():
"Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: window is not defined"
This is when converting an svg to base64. Quick fix in src/utils/mixins:
export const buildBase64UrlFromSvg = (svg: string) => {
if (svg && svg.substr(0, 4) === '<svg') {
// remove window.btoa
return `data:image/svg+xml;base64,${Buffer.from(svg, 'utf8').toString('base64')}`;
}
return svg;
};
Replaces the window.btoa with Buffer.from().
I am unable to create a PR on work machine, will do later but putting this up for any others searching.
All the best!

Thanks for reporting this, @skru.
Great question about v0.19.5 Breaks headless editor.setComponents(): "Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: window is not defined". The recommended approach with Components 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));
