How to add a click event
Question
This is my custom block code:
{
id: 'link',
label: "Link",
content:`<mj-wrapper padding="0px">
<mj-section border="1px dashed #e0e4e8" background-color="#f9fafb" padding="0px">
<mj-column padding-top="0px" vertical-align="middle" width="78%">
<mj-text>https://</mj-text>
</mj-column>
<mj-column padding="0px" vertical-align="middle" width="20%" padding-right="50px">
<mj-button padding="0px" width="100%" > Add link</mj-button>
</mj-column>
</mj-section>
</mj-wrapper>`,
attributes:{class:'fa fa-link'},
}
I want to add a click event to the button after adding it to the canvas, and when I click it, I can get the content in the mj-text

Thanks for reporting this, @mingxin-yang.
Great question about How to add a click event. The recommended approach with Canvas 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
