stupidly simple zoom controller for grapesjs

by Gx Anshu | Jul 15, 2023

GrapesJS is an incredible no-code editor, widely renowned for its amazing features and the fact that it’s open source.

While GrapesJS offers a wide range of APIs to customize the editor, there are times when modifying certain functionalities can be a bit challenging. One such challenge arises when trying to add zoom in and zoom out functionality to the editor. To address this issue, I created the Zoom controller Plugin as a simple and effective solution.

All you need to do is install the plugin, and voila! You’ll have access to two handy buttons in the editor panel, as well as a convenient keyboard shortcut (Shift + and Shift -) to effortlessly zoom in and out of the canvas.

With this plugin, zooming becomes a breeze, enhancing your editing experience and streamlining your workflow.
