Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Load an HTML string with a non empty
<head>, using the option{asDocument: true}. - Export the data via
editor.getProjectData(), see that it contains the<head>content - Load the exported data from 2 via
editor.loadProjectData() - Export the data via
editor.getProjectData(), see that it does NOT the<head>content
What is the expected behavior? I'd expect that this should always hold, maybe with the exception for some details like autogenerated ids.
const html1 = editor.getHtml();
const html2 = editor.loadProjectData(editor.getProjectData());
html1 === html2
What is the current behavior?
The head content is not loaded when using loadProjectData().

The bug is that an export via getProjectData() followed by an import via loadProjectData() should result in the same state.
Furthermore the hack you propose actually writes directly to the canvas meaning that there's no guarantee it will remain untouched. (For example there's a styles configuration in the editor that will inject styles to the canvas' head)

Yeah definitely not expected, we'll look into it.
Appreciate the easily reproducible steps on the demo 👍

Thanks for reporting this, @SamMousa.
Great question about asDocument not working as expected. 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));
