Configuring an onStart() resize callback prevents resizing
Question
GrapesJS version
- I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS
What browser are you using?
Chrome Version 120.0.6099.225

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Goto jsfiddle
- run the code
- on the canvas, select the blue div component
- try to drag the resizer handle located at bottom center
- the resize handle doesn't move with your mouse
- In the js code, check my plugin implementation on the top. There, consider the part:
resizable: {
tl: 0, tc: 0, tr: 0, cl: 0, cr: 0, bl: 0, bc: 1, br: 0,
onStart: (event, opt) => { console.log('resize started') } ,
},
- comment out the onStart config -->
// onStart: (event, opt) => { console.log('resize started') } , - re-run the fiddle. Now it is possible to resize the blue block.
What is the expected behavior?
The component should be resizable even when configuring an onStart calback
What is the current behavior?
The component cannot be resized if an onStart callback is configured. The callback is executed though.

Good catch, will fix it
Thanks for reporting this, @kla-ko.
Great question about configuring an onStart() resize callback prevents resizing. The recommended approach with ProseMirror 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));
