Contents of component with editable:false are still editable

The editable property has no meaning by default and it's only used internally by other extended components like Text or Image

@artf how do we create a component such that gjs does not parse the children.

The editable property has no meaning by default and it's only used internally by other extended components like Text or Image

This used to work on older versions of GJS. Just stopped working in 0.21.3

Thanks for reporting this, @riteshdalal.

Great question about Contents of component with editable:false are still editable. The recommended approach with Canvas 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
