Add options to blocks

[joyceverheije]

I would like to be able to pass some options through the blocks to avoid creating a new block for each variation I need.

For example, we create a lot of lite version of blocks with less fields, for different templates. Which means creating a new one and extracting or duplicating the initial form, to enrich it or simplify it.

Example block form:

@formField('medias', [
    'name' => 'image',
    'label' => 'Image',
])

@formField('radios', [
    'name' => 'ratio',
    'label' => "Ratio",
    'options' => collect(['Full' => 'Full', 'Half' => 'Half']),
    'default' => 'Full',
    'inline' => true
])

@formField('checkbox', [
    'name' => 'border',
    'label' => 'Show border'
])

@formField('checkbox', [
    'name' => 'background_color',
    'label' => 'Show background color'
])

Example block lite form:

@formField('medias', [
    'name' => 'image',
    'label' => 'Image',
])

@formField('radios', [
    'name' => 'ratio',
    'label' => "Ratio",
    'options' => collect(['Full' => 'Full', 'Half' => 'Half']),
    'default' => 'Full',
    'inline' => true
])

@formField('checkbox', [
    'name' => 'border',
    'label' => 'Show border'
])

Solution:

@formField('medias', [
    'name' => 'image',
    'label' => 'Image',
])

@formField('radios', [
    'name' => 'ratio',
    'label' => "Ratio",
    'options' => collect(['Full' => 'Full', 'Half' => 'Half']),
    'default' => 'Full',
    'inline' => true
])

@formField('checkbox', [
    'name' => 'border',
    'label' => 'Show border'
])

@if($withBackgroundColor)
    @formField('checkbox', [
	  'name' => 'background_color',
	  'label' => 'Show background color'
    ])
@endif

Module form:

@formField('block_editor', [
    'blocks' => [
        'text',
        'image' => [
	    'withBackgroundColor' => true,
	],
    ]
])

With the multiple block editor feature, I assume a use case would be to pass the same block with different options to different block editors within the same form, but I know this will be more complex to support because of the block templates inlined in the html once per block type.

That's a great idea, I will check this for Twill 3.x

Hello,

I would to add some other feature request for this idea.

It would be nice if I could pass some formField attributes to the block editor, like this:

@formField('block_editor', [
    'blocks' => [
        'quote' => [
            'quote' => ['translated' => true],
        ],
        'text',
        'image',
    ],
])

As a result of this the inputField named quote in the block editor quote would be translatable and we should not create a custom block editor only because of some custom attributes.
