[QUESTIONS] Custom Code block and JS

[detectedstealth]

Wondering if there is a limitation or is it actually possible to create a block that allows the user of the editor to write custom javascript code as they are building the template? For example drag and drop a custom code block and write the javascript in it?

Example: I created a link and wanted to capture the click event to make an Ajax request etc... I know it is possible to update the editors initialization code to include an external javascript file but ideally we would like this to be handled dynamically in a single place without having to edit settings every time we add a new javascript function.

@cjpollard that block doesn't work with JavaScript.

That just means you won't see the code, but you get something to see and click on to edit it. The JavaScript itself is there and works just fine.

@cjpollard I really wish that were true as I assumed the same thing but it doesn't work that way unless there is a bug with the plugin...

So unless it is saved somewhere completely different in the data that is stored remotely I have no idea what is going on. It completely wipes out the code.

The code written is never even sent to the server to be saved either. Which could be related to this: https://github.com/artf/grapesjs-custom-code/blob/master/src/components.js#L83

But by the sounds of it you have used this before and have it working? Care to share an example maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere? I used the web site demo as an starting point. You can even try it in the live demo: https://grapesjs.com/demo.html add the custom code it shows the placeholder text, refresh the browser and it shows "Insert here your custom code" and what you typed before is gone.

Try grapesjs.init({ allowScripts: 1, ... });

@cjpollard thanks that is the missing setting the code block is working as I hopped it would now.
