Thank you for reply @artf . Is there any documentation or sample code about extending an existing command?
@niveth09 here is the code for extending the preview command without the eye button:
const cmdVis = 'sw-visibility';
commands.extend('preview', {
run(editor, sender): void {
this.sender = sender;
this.selected = [...editor.getSelectedAll()];
editor.select();
if (!this.shouldRunSwVisibility) {
this.shouldRunSwVisibility = editor.Commands.isActive(cmdVis);
}
this.shouldRunSwVisibility && editor.stopCommand(cmdVis);
editor.getModel().stopDefault();
const panels = this.getPanels(editor);
const canvas = editor.Canvas.getElement();
panels.forEach((panel) => panel.set('visible', false));
const canvasS = canvas.style;
canvasS.width = '100%';
canvasS.height = '100%';
canvasS.top = '0';
canvasS.left = '0';
canvasS.padding = '0';
canvasS.margin = '0';
editor.refresh();
this.tglEffects(1);
},
});
Thanks for reporting this, @niveth09.
Great question about How to remove the eye-slash button in preview mode?. The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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
