Data Sources are ignored when loaded from project data
Question
GrapesJS version
- I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS
What browser are you using?
Firefix v132.0
Reproducible demo link
https://jsfiddle.net/skdegqun/4/
Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Running the fiddle can be appreciated on the logs that the data sources passed on editor initialization were not loaded.
What is the expected behavior?
Load the data sources from the project data into the editor data sources manager (editor.DataSources)
What is the current behavior? When the editor loads the project data, the data sources are not being loaded, and instead the data sources list is empty.
This issue happens when passed the project data on editor initialization, but also when loading the project data from a remote storage (a bit harder to reproduce in the fiddle, but hopefully fixing the first case fixes this). Loading the data from a remote storage was how I initially detected the bug.

You need to wait until the editor is ready.
editor.onReady(() => {
console.log('Total of data sources should be 1:', editor.DataSources.getAll().length)
console.log('test-source should exist:', editor.DataSources.get("test-source"));
});
Thanks for reporting this, @svex99.
Great question about Data Sources are ignored when loaded from project data. The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
