Style Manager doesn't display multiple rules for the same class

Quick answerby artf

Not a bug, the style manager handles only one rule at a time, if you want more advanced usage, you can use the API and implement your functionalities (eg. selecting different rules with the same selector)

Question

GrapesJS version

  • I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

What browser are you using?

Firefox

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. Select the "Hello World" component
  2. Open the Style Manager and make sure "myclass" is checked in the classes section
  3. Check the values for the "height" and "background-color" properties

What is the expected behavior? The Style Manager should reflect all rules associated with the selected class (in this case .myclass {height: 100px} and .myclass {background-color: green}

What is the current behavior? The Style Manager only reflects the first rule associated with the selected class (in this case: .myclass {height: 100px}

I see. Would you mind elaborating a little on how to go about that?

Also, it doesn't seem like the style manager does handle only one rule at a time; since when I select a class I see property/value settings that were applied to the ID, and vice-versa.

Thanks for reporting this, @MaxDBenson.

Great question about Style Manager doesn't display multiple rules for the same class. The recommended approach with StyleManager 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));
