Style parsing error if it has @import
Not really fixable as GrapesJS parsers can't be asynchronous right now but in any case, from the performance perspective, you should never use @import in your CSS as it generates a blocking request

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- clear browser cache
- try import template with style tag which has @import font url
What is the expected behavior? Style need to be load without JS errors
What is the current behavior?
GJS don't wait for style load, and try parse null sheet (JS error). see screenshots:

If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below: (sheet parse error)
function getSheet() {
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.innerHTML = `@charset "utf-8";
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Lato');
/* Linked Styles */
div {
padding: 0 !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
`;
document.head.appendChild(style);
console.assert(style.sheet, 'sheet is', style.sheet);
var sheet = style.sheet;
document.head.removeChild(style);
console.log('sheet is:', sheet);
}
getSheet();
if wait load/parse style tag error nor replicated:
async function getSheetOnLoad() {
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.innerHTML = `@charset "utf-8";
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Lato:wght@300&display=swap');
/* Linked Styles */
div {
padding: 0 !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
`;
let promise = new Promise(resolve => style.addEventListener('load', resolve));
document.head.appendChild(style);
await promise;
console.assert(style.sheet, 'sheet is', style.sheet);
var sheet = style.sheet;
document.head.removeChild(style);
console.log('sheet is:', sheet);
}
getSheetOnLoad();

Thanks for reporting this, @Drive4ik.
Great question about style parsing error if it has @import. 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));
