Block Developer: Advanced Block Creation Tool for Concrete Websites

Block Developer revolutionizes the way blocks are created and managed within Concrete websites. Building upon the success and feedback from thousands of sites using Block Designer, this new addon introduces enhanced features and a more streamlined process. Aimed at both developers with minimal programming knowledge and advanced users, Block Developer simplifies the creation of custom block types using a command-line interface, ensuring your blocks remain up-to-date with the latest Concrete updates and standards.

Features:

  • Command-Line Interface: Enables the development and regeneration of block types through simple Concrete CLI commands, offering a faster and more direct way to create and update blocks.
  • Configurable Fields: Utilizes a config file to define the fields and settings for each block, allowing for easy adjustments and additions without the need for extensive coding.
  • Automatic Updates: Ensures code relevance and compliance with core Concrete updates, reducing the need for manual block updates by updating the addon itself.
  • Comprehensive Field Types: Includes a variety of field types such as text, image, link, WYSIWYG, and more, with the added ability to make fields repeatable for dynamic content creation.
  • Enhanced Organization: Allows fields to be divided into tabs within the block form, improving usability and management for complex blocks with numerous fields.
  • Template Integration: Supports the creation of multiple templates for blocks directly from the config file, facilitating varied presentations and functionalities without redundant coding.
  • Developer-Friendly: Offers an efficient and readable approach to block development, complete with interactive CLI questions to guide the creation process.
  • Repeatable Fields: Inherits the popular 'repeatable' field type from Block Designer Pro, enabling the addition of multiple items with specified field types.
  • Customization and Expansion: Provides a solid foundation for creating custom block types while allowing for future field type expansions and customization.
  • Integration and Compatibility: Works seamlessly with existing site structures and is compatible with the latest Concrete versions, ensuring a smooth integration into any project.
