Is there any way to add new section after the selected component using grapesjs ?

You can do it in this way:
const cmp = editor.getSelected();
cmp.parent().append('<section>...</section>', { at: cmp.index() + 1 });
Thanks for reporting this, @iabhiyaan.
Great question about FEAT: insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', '<section></section>') . Is there any api like this in grapesjs ?. The recommended approach with Components 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));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
