Autoplay for youtube or vimeo doesn't work

Quick answerby SLain123

I can fix the bug myself, but I can't push my branch with fix to repo. It seems like I don't have permission for pushing or create new branch.

Thanks for reporting this, @SLain123.

Great question about autoplay for youtube or vimeo doesn't work. 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
