Hi devs,
In many APIs we sometime want to manipulate several Block but we don't
want to put them in a meaningful Block like XDOM which is supposed to
mean a full document. Right now the only way to do it is to have both
an API with Block and another with Collection<Block> but it's a bit
more annoying for return type where you are forced to return a
List<Block> even if you are in a case where you actually have only one
Block to return like in macros for example.
We talked a long time ago with Vincent about a BlockCollection which
would not have any meaning (i.e. no corresponding event in the stream
rendering API) and would just be here to be able to pass several
blocks as a Block.
Since UI extension is going to use it a lot I propose to introduce it now.
WDYT ?
+1, obviously :)
Any better idea for the name ?
BlockCollection sounds good.
Thanks,
JV.
