[Feature Request]: Additional default blocks

[whollaus]

Feature Description

Is it possible to add additional variants / modules for the Block Editor?

I think so much could be realized with just a few more modules.

Here you could use the existing image module and extend it with 1-2 fields:

• Testimonials: Image, Name, Job Position, Text
• Contact (Call to Action): Image, Title, Text, Button (Link, Text).
• "Hero": Image, Title, Text, Button (Link, Text)
• Section with image (arranged left or right): Icon/Image, Title, Text, Button (Link, Text)

Here you could use the Gallery module and add 1-2 fields:

• Features: Icon/image, title, text, button (link, text).
• Team: image, name, job position, text

As you can see, the fields are mostly the same or similar. In the first step for example a class or ID for CSS could be entered manually. A selection of the CSS class would be perfect of course. (As already possible with the Gallery module).

This would be really helpful for building pages and I hope it is not much effort. (Duplicate default-blocks gallery and image + button/link/icon).

Thanks a lot!

I think those blocks should be moved into the template. The template could provide custom blocks or remove blocks that are not supported.

As developer I could define blocks from the customers pattern library and the customer would only use those blocks for his page.

Yes, that would be welcome.

However, the Publii development is only progressing slowly. So my suggestion would be to include more blocks as "standard". With "little" work (add 1-2 new fields)

How the block will look then, still depends on the template (css).

How is a block right now structured internally?
It would be great if they are stored in a JSON config file, and we would be able to add custom blocks by providing a custom structure:

{
  name: 'custom block',
  tagStart: '<div>'
  tagEnd: '</div>'
  tagInlineParams: [
    width,
    height
  ],
  foo: 'baa'
}

I would love to see an option to add custom blocks: even starting with something simple where i can wrap html around a user defined text.
