Question

Hi, @artf. I was going through the getting started guide and the selector manager is placed below the style manager. Screenshot from 2020-11-23 13-40-46

How do I position the selector manager above the styles manager?

As you can see from the example

selectorManager: {
    appendTo: '.styles-container'
  },
 styleManager: {
    appendTo: '.styles-container',

Both of them append the element inside the same container. You can simply create different containers

<div class="styles-container">
  <div class="styles-container-t"></div>
  <div class="styles-container-b"></div>
</div>
selectorManager: {
    appendTo: '.styles-container-t'
  },
 styleManager: {
    appendTo: '.styles-container-b',

Thanks for reporting this, @theSC0RP.

Great question about Position of selector manager.. 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
