This is the standalone repository for the TYPO3 Content Blocks project. Content Blocks provides a new API to create custom Content Types like Content Elements, Page Types or generic Record Types. Use it now in your TYPO3 v12/v13 project and eventually this will become a Core feature in TYPO3 v14 LTS.
Require this package via composer:
composer req friendsoftypo3/content-blocks
Or install it via the Extension Manager in the TYPO3 backend. The extension key
is content_blocks.
Refer to the Documentation on how to use the Content Blocks API.
You can reach us on the TYPO3 Slack
channel #cig-structuredcontent. We appreciate any constructive feedback and
will help you, if you have any problems.

There is a ddev setup ready to use. Ensure ddev is installed on your machine. Then run:
ddev start
ddev composer install
touch .Build/public/FIRST_INSTALL
ddev launch
The default URL is https://content-blocks.ddev.site/. Continue with the TYPO3 installation process.
First install the composer dependencies:
composer install
Then run unit or functional tests by executing:
Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s unit
Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s functional
Be sure to exclude the .Build/public/typo3temp directory from indexing in your IDE (e.g. PhpStorm) before starting the tests.
When you update the documentation you can try out rendering it locally (Docker required):
make docs
You can test if the syntax and references are ok with
make test-docs
