Issue solved.

I find a solution.

When I init grapejs, I pass object config with colorPicker

Code SnippetTEXT
const config = {
    container: '#editor',
    fromElement: true,

// other config options here

colorPicker: {
      appendTo: 'parent',
      offset: { top: 26, left: -166, },
    }

}

Thank @vincepv yeah there might be some conflicts with the fullscreen command and the default configuration of the color picker depending on how and where the editor container is rendered.

Probably, in most of cases, it would be enough to place the color picker in the same editor container to make them work properly.

grapesjs.init({
  container: '#gjs',
  colorPicker: { appendTo: '#gjs' },
 // ...
})

Thanks for reporting this, @vincepv.

Great question about on fullscreen, color picker is hidden. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. 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));
