Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Create a element
- set data-gjs-traits attribute to any default trait name like
idortitle, it will crush the whole thing
What is the expected behavior?
I expect the same result as the data-gjs-traits='' which is setting traits empty
What is the current behavior? If I will place there something else than empty string it will crush the grapes

Thanks for reporting this, @edenizk.
Great question about Can't set traits in attributes. 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));

- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
