Use Case

  • Creating data visualizations in the page builder
  • Supporting dynamic chart updates
  • Integration with existing data sources

Expected Behavior

The component should:

  • Support multiple chart types (bar, line, pie)
  • Allow data input through the component panel
  • Provide styling options for chart elements

Additional Context

This would enhance the data visualization capabilities of GrapesJS.

Thanks for reporting this, @brighterfrog.

Great suggestion about Feature Request: Add new component type! 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.
