+
+### Added
+
+- `<gjs-canvas>` mount-point component enabling custom UI mode — when projected into `<gjs-editor>`, swaps the editor's default container and disables default panels.
+- Nine provider components mirroring the `@grapesjs/react` render-props surface, each exposing typed manager state to a projected `<ng-template>`:
+  - `<gjs-blocks-provider>` — `BlocksState` (blocks, drag handlers, container, category map)
+  - `<gjs-layers-provider>` — `LayersState` (root component, container)
+  - `<gjs-selectors-provider>` — `SelectorsState` (selectors, states, targets, mutators, container)
+  - `<gjs-styles-provider>` — `StylesState` (visible sectors, container)
+  - `<gjs-traits-provider>` — `TraitsState` (current traits, container)
+  - `<gjs-pages-provider>` — `PagesState` (pages, selected, mutators)
+  - `<gjs-devices-provider>` — `DevicesState` (devices, selected, select)
+  - `<gjs-assets-provider>` — `AssetsState` (open, assets, types, select, close, container)
+  - `<gjs-modal-provider>` — `ModalState` (open, title, content, attributes, close)
+- `*gjsContainer` directive for appending a GrapesJS-owned `HTMLElement` into a host element (Angular equivalent of React's portal `Container`).
+- New component outputs: `editorCreated` (fires synchronously after `grapesjs.init()` returns), `projectUpdated` (fires on every `'update'` event with latest `ProjectData`).
+- New component inputs: `grapesjsCss` (async `<link>` injection before init), `waitReady` (`boolean | TemplateRef<unknown>` — hide/replace the editor host until `editor.onReady()` fires).
+- New service signal `isInitialized` — `true` after `grapesjs.init()` returns.
+- Async CDN plugin loading — `plugins` input now accepts `{ id, src, options }` descriptors alongside function references and global names.
+- Public types: `PluginToLoad`, `PluginTypeToLoad`, `GrapesPlugin`, `ProjectUpdatePayload`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING vs `2.0.0-beta.1`** — `editorReady` output semantics changed and the earlier-firing name was moved:
+  - Output `editorReady` (previously fired on GrapesJS `'load'`) is renamed to `editorLoaded` — same firing point, clearer name.
+  - Output `editorReady` now fires on `editor.onReady()` (post-mount, post-storage-load) to match `@grapesjs/react` `onReady` semantics.
+- **BREAKING vs `2.0.0-beta.1`** — service signal `isReady` semantics changed:
+  - Signal `isReady` (previously flipped after init) is renamed to `isInitialized`.
+  - Signal `isReady` now reflects the post-`editor.onReady()` state.
+- `plugins` input widened from `Plugin[]` to `PluginTypeToLoad[]` — source-compatible; existing `Plugin[]` assignments still compile.
+- `<gjs-editor>` now defaults the GrapesJS init config to `height: '100%'` and `width: '100%'` so the editor fills its host element. GrapesJS's internal default of `height: 900px` was overflowing flex layouts. Consumer config still overrides.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `<gjs-selectors-provider>` and `<gjs-styles-provider>` now render their projected template on init. In custom-UI mode GrapesJS skips its default panel render — the only place it fires the initial `selector:custom` / `style:custom` event — so these panels stayed empty until a component was selected. Both providers now self-trigger the event on `wire()`, matching `<gjs-traits-provider>`.
+- SSR-safe: `<gjs-editor>` no longer calls `grapesjs.init()` or touches DOM APIs when `PLATFORM_ID === 'server'` — the host renders inert and `ngOnDestroy` short-circuits.
+
+## [2.0.0-beta.1] — 2026-04-23
+
+Initial public release on npm. Angular 20+ wrapper for [GrapesJS](https://grapesjs.com/), signals-based, standalone, zoneless-compatible.
+
+- `<gjs-editor>` standalone component with `config` and `plugins` inputs, `editorReady` / `projectSaved` / `projectLoaded` / `componentSelected` / `blockAdded` outputs.
+- `GrapesJsEditorService` exposing every GrapesJS manager as a signal, plus `isReady`, `selectedComponent`, and `getHtml` / `getCss` / `getProjectData` / `loadProjectData` helpers.
+- `provideGrapesJs(config)` environment provider + `GRAPES_JS_DEFAULT_CONFIG` injection token.
+
+## [2.0.0-alpha.1]
+
+Pre-release development milestone — not published to npm.
+
+- Standalone `<gjs-editor>` component with OnPush change detection.
+- `GrapesJsEditorService` with signals for editor state and all GrapesJS managers.
+- `provideGrapesJs()` for app-wide default configuration.
+- Zoneless-compatible (no Zone.js dependency).

+| `componentSelected` | `Component` | Emitted when a component is selected |
+| `blockAdded` | `Block` | Emitted when a block is dropped on canvas |
+
+### Editor lifecycle
+
+Three distinct phases — safe content manipulation should wait for `editorReady`:
+
+1. **`editorCreated`** — the `Editor` instance exists; managers are accessible but the canvas hasn't loaded.
+2. **`editorLoaded`** — GrapesJS `'load'` event; the core editor UI is up.
+3. **`editorReady`** — `editor.onReady()` callback; mounted, panels built, storage data loaded. Safe to read or manipulate project content.
+
+### Async plugin & CSS loading
+
+Plugins can be a mix of function references, global names, and async CDN descriptors:
+
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  template: `
+    <gjs-editor
+      grapesjsCss="https://unpkg.com/grapesjs/dist/css/grapes.min.css"
+      [plugins]="editorPlugins">
+    </gjs-editor>
+  `,
+})
+export class MyEditor {
+  editorPlugins: PluginTypeToLoad[] = [
+    gjsBlocksBasic,                                    // function reference
+    'grapesjs-plugin-forms',                           // global name
+    {                                                  // CDN descriptor
+      id: 'grapesjs-preset-webpage',
+      src: 'https://unpkg.com/grapesjs-preset-webpage',
+      options: { /* ... */ },
+    },
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+### SSR
+
+`<gjs-editor>` is SSR-safe: when rendered on the server (`PLATFORM_ID === 'server'`) it renders an inert host and never calls `grapesjs.init()`. Combine with `waitReady` to render a placeholder during server rendering and hydration.

+## Custom UI
+
+By default `<gjs-editor>` renders the full GrapesJS UI (panels, block manager, style manager, etc.) inside its host element. For full control of the editor shell — composing your own sidebars and toolbars with Angular templates — project `<gjs-canvas>` plus one or more provider components as content children:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  GrapesJsEditorComponent,
+  GjsCanvas,
+  GjsBlocksProvider,
+  GjsLayersProvider,
+  GjsPagesProvider,
+  GjsContainerDirective,
+} from '@ilq/grapesjs-angular';
+
+@Component({
+  imports: [
+    GrapesJsEditorComponent,
+    GjsCanvas,
+    GjsBlocksProvider,
+    GjsLayersProvider,
+    GjsPagesProvider,
+    GjsContainerDirective,
+  ],
+  template: `
+    <gjs-editor>
+      <aside class="sidebar">
+        <gjs-blocks-provider>
+          <ng-template let-ctx>
+            @for (block of ctx.blocks; track block.getId()) {
+              <button (mousedown)="ctx.dragStart(block, $event)">
+                {{ block.getLabel() }}
+              </button>
+            }
+          </ng-template>
+        </gjs-blocks-provider>
+
+        <gjs-layers-provider>
+          <ng-template let-ctx>
+            <div [gjsContainer]="ctx.container"></div>
+          </ng-template>
+        </gjs-layers-provider>
+
+        <gjs-pages-provider>
+          <ng-template let-ctx>
+            @for (page of ctx.pages; track page.getId()) {
+              <button (click)="ctx.select(page)">
+                {{ page.get('name') ?? page.getId() }}
+              </button>
+            }
+          </ng-template>
+        </gjs-pages-provider>
+      </aside>
+      <gjs-canvas class="canvas"></gjs-canvas>
+    </gjs-editor>
+  `,
+})
+export class MyEditor {}
+```
+
+When `<gjs-canvas>` is present the editor uses it as the GrapesJS container, sets `customUI: true`, and disables the default panels. Each provider discovered via content projection flips the matching `custom*` flag in the init config, then subscribes to its manager's `custom` event and exposes the live state to your projected `<ng-template>`.
+
+### Providers
+
+| Component | State shape | Flips `custom` flag on | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `<gjs-canvas>` | — | — | Swaps the editor's container and disables default panels |
+| `<gjs-blocks-provider>` | `BlocksState` | `blockManager` | `{ blocks, dragStart, dragStop, container, mapCategoryBlocks }` |
+| `<gjs-layers-provider>` | `LayersState` | `layerManager` | `{ root, container }` |
+| `<gjs-selectors-provider>` | `SelectorsState` | `selectorManager` | `{ selectors, states, selectedState, targets, addSelector, removeSelector, setState, container }` |
+| `<gjs-styles-provider>` | `StylesState` | `styleManager` | `{ sectors, container }` |
+| `<gjs-traits-provider>` | `TraitsState` | `traitManager` | `{ traits, container }` |
+| `<gjs-assets-provider>` | `AssetsState` | `assetManager` | `{ open, assets, types, select, close, container }` |
+| `<gjs-modal-provider>` | `ModalState` | `modal` | `{ open, title, content, attributes, close }` |
+| `<gjs-pages-provider>` | `PagesState` | — | `{ pages, selected, select, add, remove }` (observer-only) |
+| `<gjs-devices-provider>` | `DevicesState` | — | `{ devices, selected, select }` (observer-only) |
+
+### `*gjsContainer`
+
+For providers that expose a `container` (the GrapesJS-owned default panel element), use `[gjsContainer]="ctx.container"` on any host element to mount the default panel inside your own layout. This is a one-directive alternative to building a portal system.
+
 ## Multi-Editor
 
 `GrapesJsEditorService` is provided in root, so by default all `<gjs-editor>` instances share one service. For multiple independent editors, provide a separate service per editor:
