Hey @rudacs did you try instead using style:property:update?
This event worked. Was it changed to this one? And for a single property? How do I get what was the component and property changed?
Tranks.
came here because I have the same issue.
Using the suggested style:property:update seems to work, but for some reason it fires on every click.
Also, how can we target a particular style property change, i.e. text-align?
Thanks for reporting this, @rudacs.
Great question about component:styleUpdate / component:styleUpdate:propertyName not fired. 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));
