## AssetManager

You can customize the initial state of the module from the editor initialization, by passing the following [Configuration Object][1]

```js
const editor = grapesjs.init({
 assetManager: {
   // options
 }
})
```

Once the editor is instantiated you can use its API. Before using these methods you should get the module from the instance

```js
const assetManager = editor.AssetManager;
```
