Can style manager always generate IDs instead of using already defined element's class ?
Question
When we style an element in the editor, if this element doesn't have neither a class or an id, the style manager generate a new id with the css style. However, styling an element with a class makes the style manager use this class to add styles.
Is there a way to always use IDs for styling and not work with classes ?
(this helps user make different custom styles on components that have same class attribute)

window.editor = grapesjs.init({
// ...
selectorManager: {
componentFirst: 1,
}
// ...
});
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for reporting this, @ahmedderkaoui.
Great question about Can style manager always generate IDs instead of using already defined element's class ?. The recommended approach with StyleManager 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));
