Upload Image or Asset is not triggering on File/Image selection
Question
GrapesJS version
- I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS
What browser are you using?
Chrome v114
Reproducible demo link
none
Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- I'm using grapesjs-react and using
assetManager - My config looks like this
{
upload: `${globals.settings.cmsUrl}/upload-image`,
uploadName: "image",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
},
autoAdd: true,
multiUpload: false,
}
PS: I do have a working endpoint which I've tested already.
- Now goto the editor in browser
- add image
- select image from the system
- then no upload request is made
What is the expected behavior? Expected is it should trigger a request and upload the asset to given url
What is the current behavior? its not uploading anywhere instead its putting base64 image in DOM

Just tried the same configuration and all works as expected.
Might be related to your grapesjs version or the grapesjs-react itself.
Please avoid creating BUG issues if you're not able to provide a reproducible demo with the latest version of GrapesJS.
I'd also highly recommend switching to the official GrapesJS React wrapper which also allows you to implement a completely declarative custom UI for your editor.
Thanks for reporting this, @SwapnilSoni1999.
Great question about Upload Image or Asset is not triggering on File/Image selection. The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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
