Container Block

The Container block provides a way to group and organize Prismic content blocks.

Implementation

Container Block Class

Elgentos\PrismicIO\Block\Container

Extends the abstract block to provide container functionality.

Key Features

• Groups related content blocks
• Manages shared context
• Handles nested structures
• Provides scope isolation

Usage

Basic Container

<block class="Elgentos\PrismicIO\Block\Container" name="prismic.content">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="reference" xsi:type="string">data</argument>
    </arguments>
    <!-- Child blocks -->
</block>

Nested Containers

<block class="Elgentos\PrismicIO\Block\Container" name="outer.container">
    <block class="Elgentos\PrismicIO\Block\Container" name="inner.container">
        <!-- Nested content -->
    </block>
</block>

Context Management

Reference Handling

Containers can specify their reference scope:

<arguments>
    <argument name="reference" xsi:type="string">data.section</argument>
</arguments>

Context Inheritance

Child blocks inherit their parent container's context unless explicitly overridden.
