@o2s/blocks.quick-links

A block displaying quick links to important pages or resources.

The quick-links block displays a curated set of links (buttons or anchors) from the CMS. Content editors define labels and destinations—internal routes or external URLs—making it ideal for shortcuts, navigation blocks, and call-to-action clusters on dashboards or landing pages.

• Link set from CMS – Labels and URLs fully configurable
• Internal or external – Links to app routes or external sites
• Layout flexibility – Grid or list; styling via theme
• CMS-driven – No code changes to add or update links

Content editors manage links in the CMS. Developers get a configurable shortcut block with no custom backend logic.

Backend (API Harmonization)

Register the block in app.module.ts:

import * as QuickLinks from '@o2s/blocks.quick-links/api-harmonization';
import { AppConfig } from './app.config';

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

Frontend

Register the block in renderBlocks.tsx:

import * as QuickLinks from '@o2s/blocks.quick-links/frontend';

export const renderBlocks = async (blocks: CMS.Model.Page.SlotBlock[]) => {
    return blocks.map((block) => {
        if (block.type === 'quick-links') {
            return (
                <QuickLinks.QuickLinksRenderer
                    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 quick links:

import { sdk } from '@o2s/blocks.quick-links/sdk';

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

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.
