Make the max-width for images filterable

[florianbrinkmann]

Hi,

I am just working on implementing theme styles for the Gutenberg editor and found the following issue: the images get a max-width of 608 px (the default width of the Gutenberg blocks). But I increased the max width of the blocks to the maximum content width of my theme, which is over 608 pixels.

Now I could overwrite the inline style via CSS and !important but I think it would be nicer to have the ability of filtering the maxWidth value that is set here:

gutenberg/editor/components/provider/index.js

Line 51 in ee3a61c

maxWidth: 608,

The comment above the settings constant says, »You can override any default settings when calling initializeEditor«, but I have no idea how to call that again without getting an error.

I tried this:

wp.editPost.initializeEditor( 'editor', window._wpGutenbergPost, {'maxWidth': 800 );

But that does not work (I did not really expect it either).

Is there already a way to filter those default settings? If not, would it be possible to add a simple PHP filter that filters the setting’s array that is created in the /lib/client-assets.php (

gutenberg/lib/client-assets.php

Line 910 in 8a4d644

$editor_settings = array(

) or something like that?

Thanks,
Florian
