Describe the bug
I was trying out the official demo. I changed nothing, but simply click the view code button and download the html and css file as zip archive. These files were uploaded to my web server which is working perfectly on desktop devices. But as soon i visit this web server with a mobile device (for example iOS - safari browser) the website is still in desktop version and not in mobile version. The demo itself has a mobile version implemented.
How to reproduce the bug?
- visit https://grapesjs.com/demo.html
- click
view codein upper right corner - click
Export to zip - upload content to webserver
What is the expected behavior? Getting the mobile version on mobile devices
What is the current behavior? Getting the desktop version on mobile devices

Screenshots:
Opening website on mobile device (which is wrong)

Thanks for reporting this, @Staubgeborener.
Great question about Desktop Version on incorrectly mobile device. 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));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
