Describe the bug
I started a Framework to design webpages with webcomponents a few years ago, and now I found GrapeJS. Thought maybe we have the same goals and could benefit from each other? (Don't know how atm., but maybe) (link: https://node-projects.github.io/web-component-designer-demo/index.html) The designer support of the flow layout is missing in mine at the moment, but it works very well with grid and flexbox, and also absolutely positioned elements. Also transformed (rotated) content works. And I've created a VSCode extension for it: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=node-projects.vscode-designer-addon
So maybe there are parts where we could help out each other?

Thanks for reporting this, @jogibear9988.
The issue with Interested in Collaboration? appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
