Question

Hi @artf ,

When I have several elements nested in the Layers panel then some elements names are truncated because the Layer panel's width is not big enough, I know that custom resizable panel can be a solution but adding a title attribute would be enough for the majority of the use cases.

A tooltip (title) would be helpful to the user.

grapesjs/src/navigator/view/ItemView.js May be adding a title attribute to the follow line can do the job? https://github.com/artf/grapesjs/blob/7a23e20fe5138c37088ef05382f7c759cb6fa951/src/navigator/view/ItemView.js#L47

Example:

<div class="${pfx}layer-title-inn" title="${name}">

Let me know what do you think,

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this, @Franci5co5aoco.

Great question about FEAT: Add a title attribute to the Layers panel elements. 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));

If you're still stuck:

  • Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
