A plugin that allows you to edit the code of a component that is selected on the canvas

DEMO

Recommended-use grapesje-parser-postcss with this plugin to avoid issues with styles as the default parser is inconsistent and will add a lot of extra rules to your css, more explained here

Options

Option name	Default value	Description

appendTo	.gjs-pn-views-container	Append code editor to an element not views-container (class or id).
openState	{ pn: '35%', cv: '65%' }	Determine width of views panel (pn) and canvas (cv) in the open state.

preserveWidth	false	Stop resizing openState and closedState. Preserve views panel and canvas sizes.
clearData	false	Remove all gjs-data attributes from the component.
editJs	false	Lets you edit component scripts allowScripts must be set to true.
cleanCssBtn	true	Used to remove css from the Selector Manager.
htmlBtnText	Apply	Save HTML button text.
cssBtnText	Apply	Save CSS button text.
cleanCssBtnText	Delete	Clean HTML button text.

Tip-grapesjs-script-editor is better suited for editing scripts instead of using editJs, reason being editJs will inject scripts as separate components onto the canvas which often interferes with the main editor. grapesjs-script-editor avoids this by injecting scripts directly into a component therefore avoiding the use of allowScripts.

cleanCssBtn-When you delete a selector in the code-editor it is still in the Selector Manager therefore it will still affect the component after saving, this button removes the selector from both the code-editor and Selector Manager. Only valid css rules can be removed eg .class{ color: blue }
