How to make components not editable in preview mode?
Question
I am trying to make components not editable in the preview mode. The following code isn't working. Please help me to fix it.
editor;
ngOnInit(){
this.editor = this.initializeEditor();
this.editor.on('load', () => this.editor.runCommand('preview'));
this.editor.on('run:preview', () => {
this.editor.Panels.getPanels().reset([
//some code
])
this.whenRunPreview(this.editor,'text');
this.whenRunPreview(this.editor,'image');
.....
}
whenRunPreview(editor, compType) {
editor.on('run:preview', () => {
editor.DomComponents.getWrapper().onAll(
(comp) => comp.is(compType) && comp.set({ editable: false })
);
});Answers (2)
Fix your function in this way
whenRunPreview(ed, type) {
ed.getWrapper().findType(type).forEach(cmp => cmp.set({ editable: false }))
}
Thanks for reporting this, @niveth09.
Great question about How to make components not editable in preview mode?. The recommended approach with Components 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
