Hi, @artf. I was going through the getting started guide and the selector manager is placed below the style manager.

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:
- 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
