@o2s/blocks.media-section

A simple block displaying static content in the form of an MediaSection.

The media-section block focuses on media (image or video) with optional text overlay or caption. Content editors use it for galleries, product visuals, video showcases, and marketing imagery. The block can link to another page or asset.

• Media-first – Image or video as primary content
• Optional text – Caption, title, or overlay from CMS
• Link support – Media or text can link to internal/external URLs
• CMS-driven – Media and text configured via CMS

Content editors upload media and set captions and links. Developers get a media showcase block with no custom backend logic.

import { AppConfig } from './app.config';

@Module({
    imports: [
        MediaSection.Module.register(AppConfig),
    ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Frontend

Register the block in renderBlocks.tsx:

import * as MediaSection from '@o2s/blocks.media-section/frontend';

export const renderBlocks = async (blocks: CMS.Model.Page.SlotBlock[]) => {
    return blocks.map((block) => {
        if (block.type === 'media-section') {
            return (
                <MediaSection.MediaSectionRenderer
                    key={block.id}
                    id={block.id}
                    slug={slug}
                    locale={locale}
                    accessToken={session?.accessToken}
                    userId={session?.user?.id}
                    routing={routing}
                />
            );
        }
        // ... other blocks
    });
};

SDK

Use the SDK to fetch media section data:

import { sdk } from '@o2s/blocks.media-section/sdk';

// SDK uses NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL for the API base URL
const mediaSection = await sdk.blocks.getMediaSection(
    { id: 'block-id' },
    { 'x-locale': 'en' },
    accessToken
);

Configuration

This block requires the following integrations to be configured in AppConfig:

import { CMS } from '@o2s/configs.integrations';

export const AppConfig: ApiConfig = {
    integrations: {
        cms: CMS.CmsIntegrationConfig,  // Required
    },
};

About Blocks in O2S

Blocks are self-contained, reusable UI components that combine harmonizing and frontend components into a single package. Each block is independently packaged as an NPM module and includes three primary parts: API Harmonization Module, Frontend Components, and SDK Methods. Blocks allow you to quickly add or remove functionality without impacting other components of the application.
