Old Component script is not deleted on Import. Resulting in duplicate scripts

Reimporting directly JS as a component was never possible, so it's treated as a new one.

Is there any way we can identify scripts of existing components and delete them on import? we wont be able to remove all the script tags since we would need to retain the scripts added manually.

Thanks for reporting this, @Ashwinvalento.

Great suggestion about Old Component script is not deleted on Import. Resulting in duplicate scripts! 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:add for CSS selector changes
• Use selector:custom for 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.
