Describe the bug
0.21.6 changed the way things are exported and now VSCode doesn't see type declarations:
It happens when TypeScript uses:
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "ESNext",
"moduleResolution": "bundler",
"strict": true
}
which is the default setting in @vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.json used in all Vue.js applications and also it is the default in all vite.js templates.
That's how it should look in https://github.com/GrapesJS/grapesjs/blob/dev/package.json#L12:
"exports": {
".": {
"import": "./dist/grapes.mjs",
"require": "./dist/grapes.min.js",
"types": "./dist/index.d.ts"
},
"./*": "./*"
},

Thanks for reporting this, @padcom.
The issue with Missing type declaration from exports in package.json appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
