Is there a way to change the layer position of a component programmatically?

[bimsina]

I am trying to implement a feature where a selected component would be moved behind, but I am trying to achieve that programmatically (using a context menu) instead of dragging the component in the LayerManager UI.

So far I've tried to set the zIndex of the selected component using this

editor.getSelected()?.setStyle({ zIndex: -10 });

and also with this

editor.getSelectedToStyle().setStyle({ zIndex: -10 });

but no changes are visible.

Any help would be appreciated 🙏 .

I'd suggest using the StyleManager API in order to update properly the selected style rule.

editor.StyleManager.getSelected()?.addStyle({ 'z-index': -10 })

Looks like this works as well

editor.getSelected()?.setStyle({ 'z-index': -10 });

Thanks for your help 🙏

yes, but then you lose the synchronization with the layer manager
