| 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. |
| closedtate | { pn: '15%', cv: '85%' } | Determine width of views panel (pn) and canvas (cv) in the closed state. |
| codeViewOptions | {} | Code view/editor options. (more info) |
| 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 }
