To enable rich text editor on one click, you can extend the original text component in this way
editor.Components.addType('text', {
view: {
events: {
input: 'onInput', // Preserve the original on input event which updates RTE toolbar position
click: 'enableRte',
},
enableRte() {
this.onActive()
}
},
});
I'd suggest creating a custom Component with removable property set to false
Thanks for reporting this, @mingxin-yang.
Great question about How to set the component cannot be deleted. The recommended approach with GrapesJS 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));

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