Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Click Create and then Destroy repeatedly and rapidly.
Upon debugging, I found that the error occurs due to the following code:
- undefined 'allcomponents' error is due to : (editor.select code.)
var wrapper = editor.DomComponents.getWrapper();
**editor.select(wrapper);**
- undefined 'lastcomponent' error:
editor.addComponents({
type: 'text',
highlightable: false,
selectable: false,
droppable: false,
draggable: false,
removable: false,
copyable: false,
attributes: { class: 'textbox', "data-placeholder": "Insert your text here" },
content: "fgfghfg",
styles: `.textbox{word-break:break-word;}`,
style: { "height": "110px", "outline": "none !important", "padding": '5px', "color": "grey" }
});
Adding the style to the component triggers the stylable:change event, which throws an error if your side function is still running and you click Destroy during that time.
I attempted to handle this on my side, but the fix didn’t work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for reporting this, @yashvi2026.
Great question about Create and destroy repeatedly throws error. 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));
