Question

Just as a preface, the issue I'm describing does not affect the output of content generated by the editor, it is just when looking at the content within the editor.

Let's say I create two columns on the editor. Both are 50% width each.

If I drag a large image into one of these cells, it pushes the width of the cell out really large, rather than resizing it to fit within its editor container.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks for reporting this, @samichamoun.

Great question about Large images push out column width in editor view. 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));

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