Describe the bug
Hello,
When I upgraded from 0.19.5 to 0.20.1, I noticed that the page's JSON that I get using editor.getProjectData() is significantly heavier than before.
The difference is that in 0.20.1, every component in the JSON contains this piece of code:
"_undoexc": [
"status",
"open"
]
My guess is that the issue probably started when the Component got converted into class but I may be wrong.
How to reproduce the bug?
- Create any page with GrapesJS 0.20.1, then use
JSON.stringify(editor.getProjectData())
I have the same result on the demo hosted at https://grapesjs.com/demo.html
Here is the frames part of the project data of the same page in 0.19.5 and 0.20.1:
0.19.5
"frames": [
{
"component": {
"type": "wrapper",
"stylable": [],
"components": [
{
"tagName": "h1",
"type": "text",
"components": [
{
"type": "textnode",
"content": "Hello World Component!"
}
]
}
]
}
}
]
0.20.1
"frames": [
{
"component": {
"type": "wrapper",
"stylable": [],
"_undoexc": [
"status",
"open"
],
"components": [
{
"tagName": "h1",
"type": "text",
"_undoexc": [
"status",
"open"
],
"components": [
{
"type": "textnode",
"content": "Hello World Component!",
"_undoexc": [
"status",
"open"
]
}
]
}
]
}
}
]
Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, that should be removed, thanks.
Thanks for reporting this, @quentin-bettoum.
Great question about _undoexc status open. The recommended approach with ProseMirror 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));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
