Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug? Taking an html string and rendering it in grapesjs with this code (I have allowScripts enabled)
editor.setComponents(`
<script crossorigin id="__NEXT_DATA__" type="application/json" className="__NEXT_DATA_">
{"props":{"pageProps":{}},"page":"/","query":{},"buildId":"Uz1QzXNKIaETkx6R8ZvHn","nextExport":true,"autoExport":true,"isFallback":false,"scriptLoader":[]}
</script>
`)
This is the rendered canvas
This is an image of the html string that can be exported
So the final output has the attributes but not the canvas element

Thanks for reporting this, @leo-budgetsimple.
Great suggestion about The attributes of the script tags are being removed on the canvas.?! While this specific feature isn't yet in the core API, there are several ways to achieve similar behavior.
Using the event system:
editor.on('component:update', (component) => {
// your logic here
});
Alternative approaches:
- Listen to
selector:addfor CSS selector changes - Use
selector:customfor custom rules - Tap into the
change:*events for fine-grained tracking - Build a plugin that extends the editor with this capability
Making it official: If this feature would benefit many users, consider opening a formal Feature Request on the GrapesJS repo with:
- A detailed use case
- Code example showing the desired behavior
- Why this matters for your workflow
The core team is receptive to well-motivated feature requests backed by real use cases.
