Issue

  • From a page fragment code, we want to check if the edit mode is active for the page.
  • Our fragment needs to behave different if the page is in edit mode (for instance, to create a modal fragment).

Environment

  • DXP 7.2
  • DXP 7.3
  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • You can check if the edit mode is active this way: 
    const editMode = document.body.classList.contains('has-edit-mode-menu');

    if (editMode) {
        // edit mode is active
        ...
    }

Additional Information

  • See a real use case for the banner-slider fragment here.
