The schema property

Each brick should have a schema static property, which has the following TypeScript interface:

Properties

interface IBlockType {
  name: string
  label: string // for the Add menu
  getDefaultProps: () => object
  hideFromAddMenu?: boolean
  sideEditProps?: Array<ISideEditProp | ISideGroup>
  repeaterItems?: IRepeaterItem[]
  playgroundLinkUrl?: string
  playgroundLinkLabel?: string
}

The ISideEditProp / ISideGroup interface is explained in the Side edit props page.
The Repeater interface is explained in the Repeater page.

Properties definition

PropertyDefinition
nameThe unique name for this block type (for example "hero-unit").

getDefaultPropsA function returning the default props for new added blocks.

repeaterItemsArray to specify behaviour of the bricks used in the <Repeater> components. See Repeater.

Usage example

HeroUnit.schema = {
  name: 'hero-unit',
  label: 'Hero Unit',
  // Defaults when a new brick is added
  getDefaultProps: () => ({
    background: { color: '#fff', className: 'bg-white' },
    title: 'Thick as a React Brick',
  }),
  // Sidebar Edit props
  sideEditProps: [
    {
      name: 'background',
      label: 'Background',
      type: types.SideEditPropType.Select,
      selectOptions: {
        display: types.OptionsDisplay.Color,
        options: [
          // The color is the unique mandatory property for a "color" select
          { value: { color: '#fff', className: 'bg-white' }, label: 'White' },
          {
            value: { color: '#f3f4f6', className: 'bg-gray-100' },
            label: 'Gray',
          },
