I see no issue when I run editor.setComponents(...FB HTML..) Schermata 2022-03-30 alle 16 30 46

Please provide a reproducible demo.

@artf Thanks for the reply but you have added editor.setComponents(...FB HTML..) by default and then loaded the editor

Please create a component of FB HTML and Drag& drop the component in editor , it wont load

This way i have tried

const blockManager = editor.BlockManager;
 blockManager.add('facebook-block', {
    label: 'Facebook',
    category: "Basic",
    content: '<div id="fb-root"></div>
              <script async defer crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v13.0" nonce="aZMwnOeb"></script>
              <div class="fb-page" style="width:100%" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook" data-tabs="" data-width="" 
              data-height="" data-small-header="false" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true">
                <blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/facebook" class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore">
                <a href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook">Meta</a></blockquote></div>',
  });

Thanks for reporting this, @Sudhin35.

Great suggestion about BUG : The facebook plugin is not working in the grapes js! While this specific feature isn't yet in the core API, there are several ways to achieve similar behavior.

Using the event system:

editor.on('component:update', (component) => {
  // your logic here
});

Alternative approaches:

  • Listen to selector:add for CSS selector changes
  • Use selector:custom for custom rules
  • Tap into the change:* events for fine-grained tracking
  • Build a plugin that extends the editor with this capability

Making it official: If this feature would benefit many users, consider opening a formal Feature Request on the GrapesJS repo with:

  • A detailed use case
  • Code example showing the desired behavior
  • Why this matters for your workflow

The core team is receptive to well-motivated feature requests backed by real use cases.
