Question

GrapesJS version

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug? I'm looking to use Tailwind with GrapesJS, but this framework uses Utility-First CSS Classes to build quick layouts. The problem is that it also uses 'special' classes to define style variants, eg: hover:bg-blue or md:w-full etc. Styles that include colons such as md:flex-row hover:bg-black in the component style will be deleted. You can check by looking at "view code"

What is the expected behavior?

domc.addType('hero-section-1', {
  model: {
    defaults: {
      attributes: { class: 'hero-section-1' },
      components: `
  <div class="md:p-18">
  </div>
      `,
      styles: `
  @media (min-width: 768px) {
    .md\:p-18 { padding: 4rem; }
  }
      `
    },
  },
})

view code 👇

<body id="icsl">
  <div class="hero-section-1">
    <div class="md:p-18">
    </div>
  </div>
</body>

  @media (min-width: 768px) {
    .md\:p-18 { padding: 4rem; }
  }

What is the current behavior?

domc.addType('hero-section-1', {
  model: {
    defaults: {
      attributes: { class: 'hero-section-1' },
      components: `
  <div class="md:p-18">
  </div>
      `,
      styles: `
  @media (min-width: 768px) {
    .md\:p-18 { padding: 4rem; }
  }
      `
    },
  },
})

Thanks for reporting this, @ihatov08.

Great question about Component styles such as md:flex-row(tailwind) are removed. The recommended approach with StyleManager 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));
