Support for folding?

[danvk]

In IDEs, blocks are often associated with folding. For example in VS Code:

Unfolded:

Folded:

Is there support for folding in BlockNote? Has anyone built this feature on top of BlockNote? Would it be straightforward to add?

Hi Dan! Good suggestion. I think there would be several ways to add this:

Fold nested elements
I think this makes most sense, add an option to fold nested (indented) element above a parent element

Create "foldable" elements
This would be similar to the "Toggle node" in Notion for example; create a separate node type that's foldable

Make headings foldable
Automatically make contents below headings foldable (i.e.: treat content between headings as "sections"

---

Let me know if you see other options. What way of folding would you be most interested in?

+1'ing that this would be great to have. I agree that option 1 - folded nested elements - makes the most sense.

This variant best for my case, need feature "nested blocks"

FYI: to avoid duplicate efforts: the ANCT, via the Incubateur des Territoires, has sponsored the development of this feature. It is being implemented by @YousefED and is expected to be delivered around June.
