Question

So I have this issue... I have a 'text' box which is set to be full width but centres a name shortcode. When then generate a PDF and HTML page of this and expect the name to be central too. But as the name sizes can vary I've just realised with absolute positioning it is still taking the container size of of the value opposed to the set width. See attached for examples.

Do we have any suggestions on the best way to solve this?

We use absolute positioning as we are generating HTML / PDF documents. grape-js-design grape-js-html

Thanks for reporting this, @tonypartridge.

Great question about Absolute mode and dynamic tags not positioned correctly.... The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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));
