Block Classes not triggered

[michaeljcoyne]

Hi

Looking at the docs

https://twill.io/docs/block-editor/rendering-blocks.html#modifying-block-data

I have a block class file in correct namespace and a block blade file.

Set up as instructed.

Ran twill:blocks and build.
cleared cache

tried to print out getData(); and then die in my block class.

It is not triggered.

Is there a step I am missing?

Hey @michaeljcoyne ,

You should not need to print getData, basically everything you return from the getData method will be available as a variable.

@haringsrob I am just trying to get this working. The print_r($data); die; Just means it is not loading for me.

[haringsrob]

Ah like that I understand, What is the class/namespace and the name of the view?

Also, are you on the latest twill version?

[michaeljcoyne]

Twill version 2.8.0

namespace App\Twill\Block;

Class path: app/Twill/Block/RepeaterAgenda.php

Block path: resources/views/admin/blocks/repeater_agenda.blade.php
Block path: resources/views/site/blocks/repeater_agenda.blade.php

use A17\Twill\Services\Blocks\Block;

class RepeaterAgenda extends Block
{
    public function getData(array $data, \A17\Twill\Models\Block $block): array
    {
        $data = parent::getData($data, $block);
        print_r($data); die;

        return $data;
    }
}

I think the path should be: Class path: app/Twill/Block/RepeaterAgenda.php

@haringsrob sorry typo - corrected - and version no.

[haringsrob]

Strange, it should work. I will test this out tomorrow with these filenames to see what's going on.

[michaeljcoyne]

Seems like it is not autoloading

[haringsrob]

you can try composer dump-autoload, but in general that should not be needed.

Hey @michaeljcoyne,

You did everything according to the docs, which is perfect. However, I noticed that the most recent docs are not yet live which is why it is not working.

Everything is fine but you do need to suffix the name of the block class with Block so the full class is:

app/Twill/Block/RepeaterAgendaBlock.php after that everything should work.

I will make sure that docs are updated.
