Promise returning plugins

Question

Hi @artf, I have a case where a custom plugin needs to check user permissions before doing any kind of initialization. The method that does the check returns a Promise, so I have to wait for it to resolve before doing anything. Unfortunately, this creates a raise condition with editor rendering and UI gets into some weird state. In order to solve this issue I have to set 'editor.autorender' to false and then render editor manually once my plugin is initialized. This is fine for now, but I'm not...

I had a similar requirement. If it helps others, my solution in the end was to create a plugin which then loads my other plugins; The editor config would just reference the one plugin and the plugin options for that plugin would contain the plugins and options for the others to load. The plugin code; The editor init code;

Also, this may require GrapesJS' init method to return a Promise instead of the editor, but this can be limited only to cases when there are any plugins that return Promises.

I have to set 'editor.autorender' to false and then render editor manually once my plugin is initialized. This is fine for now, but I'm not quite sure how I would handle this case if I had multiple custom plugins depending on some async logic Just use a variable as a flag which counts your custom execution logic and once it's finished you're ready to render it. IMHO, the solution with Promises it's absolutely overwhelmed for such a thing
