Quick answerby artf

This is similar to this one, you have to put the editor instance outside of the Vue instance in order to bypass its proxies

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. Start the minimal vue+vite page.
  2. Drop the capitalized_for block into the editor.
  3. Drop the 1-column block into the editor outside of the other block.
  4. Drag and drop each of the divs from the capitalized_for block into the 1-column block.

What is the expected behavior? The block should simply be dropped into the column.

What is the current behavior? The browser freezes up when dropping the last block.

Thanks for reporting this, @TO-JHummel.

Great question about Crash when dragging into nested components with Vue+Vite.. The recommended approach with GrapesJS is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. 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
