Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug? Recently I have to upgrade grapesjs v0.14.62 to the latest version (0.21.8). In the old code, we used "storage:end:load" to do some stuff after all the components have been mounted on the canvas.

But in the current version it won't work the same anymore. As I see in the documents, "storage:end:load" will now be triggered as soon as the storage's load request is done. Is there anyway or other event to achieve the same result as before?

For now I have to use setTimeout insided "storage:end:load" callback, which seems quite uncertain and unreliable in many cases.

What is the expected behavior? "storage:end:load" is triggered after all components have been mounted on the canvas.

What is the current behavior? "storage:end:load" is triggered as soon as the storage's load request is done.

Thanks for reporting this, @vian013.

Great question about "storage:end:load" event is not triggered when all components are mounted into the canvas. The recommended approach with Canvas 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));
