Thanks for reporting this, @brighterfrog.
Great suggestion about Feature Request: Dark Mode Support! 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:addfor CSS selector changes - Use
selector:customfor 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.
