ShowSelectionPalette doesnt work with custom color picker

Quick answerby mosh-tudor

@yashvi2026 Your code has many issues, and that’s why it doesn’t work. This has nothing to do with GrapesJS. You might want to use an AI tool to check your code if you're unsure what's wrong.

Thanks for reporting this, @yashvi2026.

Great question about showSelectionPalette doesnt work with custom color picker. The recommended approach with ProseMirror 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));

If you're still stuck:

  • Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
