volto-block-style

Volto add-on to style blocks and other components

Features

A generic framework to style blocks and other components.

To configure it, set settings.pluggableStylesBlocksWhitelist as a list of block types that you want to enable. By default it is enabled for all blocks.

IMPORTANT! Because of the way it works, you should always load this addon as the last addon in Volto project configuration.

From version 5.2.7 you can use blocks as page header by enabling 'Use as page header' from the 'Advanced' tab.

Getting started

Try volto-block-style with Docker

  git clone https://github.com/eea/volto-block-style.git
  cd volto-block-style
  make
  make start

Go to http://localhost:3000

make start now defaults to Volto 18. To run the same setup against Volto 17, use:

  VOLTO_VERSION=17 make
  VOLTO_VERSION=17 make start

Add volto-block-style to your Volto project

1. Make sure you have a Plone backend up-and-running at http://localhost:8080/Plone

   docker compose up backend

2. Start Volto frontend

• If you already have a volto project, just update package.json:

  "dependencies": {
      "@eeacms/volto-block-style": "*"
  }

  and volto.config.js:

  const addons = ['@eeacms/volto-block-style'];

• If not, create one with Cookieplone, as recommended by the official Plone documentation for Volto 18+:

  uvx cookieplone project
  cd project-title

1. Install or update dependencies, then start the project:

   make install

   For a Cookieplone project, start the backend and frontend in separate terminals:

   make backend-start
   make frontend-start

   For a legacy Volto 17 project, install the package with yarn and restart the frontend as usual.

2. Go to http://localhost:3000

3. Happy editing!
