Using !important code provided here breaks background image and gradient.
I only see the issue with composite/stack style manager properties and that is because not every style manager property is part of the styles so in your code you would only need to check if the value of the style actually exists, eg. if (value && value.indexOf('!important') === -1) {...

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- ...Put this code in the editor:
editor.on('styleable:change', (model, property) => { const value = model.getStyle()[property]; if (value.indexOf('!important') === -1) { model.addStyle({ [property]: value + ' !important' }); } });
- Try to set a background image or gradient.
What is the expected behavior? It should let you set a background image or gradient.
What is the current behavior? It doesn't.
If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:
// your code here
const editor = grapesjs.init({ container: '#gjs', fromElement: 1, height: '100%', storageManager: { type: 0 }, plugins: ['gjs-blocks-basic'] }); editor.on('styleable:change', (model, property) => { const value = model.getStyle()[property]; if (value.indexOf('!important') === -1) { model.addStyle({ [property]: value + ' !important' }); } });

Thanks for reporting this, @clonefunnels.
Great question about Using !important code provided here breaks background image and gradient.. 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));
