快速解答by Joshmamroud

@theSC0RP Is this what you're looking for? editor.getComponents()

Question

Hey, @artf. I want to access the json that is generated when a template is stored without actually storing the template. The json object can be accessed using the events but I don't want to call editor.store() and then use the events. Is there a way I can do get the json object (a function call on editor or some property)? Or is there a way to stop editor.store() method so I can get the json being stored and abort the call?

you can always add your storage (and do nothing inside if need to...) https://grapesjs.com/docs/modules/Storage.html#define-new-storage

Thanks @artf. This is what I ended up doing. With editor.getComponents(), you get a cyclic structure structure right (model -> view -> model -> ...) and that isn't stored by the storageManager and it can't be used to load the template.

Thanks for reporting this, @theSC0RP.

Great question about QUESTION regarding JSON stored by the StorageManager. 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));

  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
