Collection of StreamField blocks for Wagtail

wagtail-cblocks

A collection of StreamField blocks to use in Wagtail CMS.

Warning! This project is still early on in its development lifecycle. It is possible for breaking changes to occur between versions until reaching a stable 1.0. Feedback and pull requests are welcome.

Requirements

wagtail-cblocks requires the following:

• Wagtail (2.15 LTS, 3.0)
• Django (3.2, 4.0)
• Python 3 (3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10)

Installation

1. Install using pip:

   $ pip install wagtail-cblocks
   

2. Add wagtail_cblocks to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # ...
       'wagtail_cblocks',
       # ...
   ]
   

Usage

Each block comes with a template made for Bootstrap 5 which is not shipped by this plugin. If you plan to use them as is, you must have at least the Bootstrap stylesheet loaded in your base template - refer as needed to the Bootstrap documentation.

In waiting for the documentation, here is a sample usage:

from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import StreamFieldPanel
from wagtail.core.blocks import StreamBlock
from wagtail.core.fields import StreamField
from wagtail.core.models import Page

from wagtail_cblocks.blocks import (
    ButtonBlock,
    ColumnsBlock,
    HeadingBlock,
    ImageBlock,
    ParagraphBlock,
)


class BaseBlock(StreamBlock):
    title_block = HeadingBlock()
    paragraph_block = ParagraphBlock()
    button_block = ButtonBlock()
    image_block = ImageBlock()


class BodyBlock(BaseBlock):
    columns_block = ColumnsBlock(BaseBlock())


class StandardPage(Page):
    body = StreamField(BodyBlock())

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        StreamFieldPanel('body'),
    ]

Factories are also provided for some of the blocks to ease tests - see wagtail_cblocks/factories.py. To make use of them, install the extra factories requirements:

$ pip install wagtail-cblocks[factories]

Development

Quick start

To set up a development environment, ensure that Python 3 is installed on your system. Then:

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   $ python3 -m venv venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install this package and its requirements:

   (venv)$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   

Finally, if you want to run the test application to preview the blocks, you will have to create the database before running a development server:

(venv)$ ./tests/manage.py migrate
(venv)$ ./tests/manage.py runserver

Contributing

The tests are written with pytest and code coverage is measured with coverage. You can use the following commands while developing:

• make test: run the tests and output a quick report of code coverage
• make test-wip: only run the tests marked as 'wip'
• make test-all: run the tests on all supported versions of Django and Wagtail with nox

The Python code is formatted and linted thanks to flake8, isort and black. All of these tools are configured in pre-commit and you should consider to install its git hook scripts by running:

(venv)$ pre-commit install

When submitting a pull-request, please ensure that the code is well formatted and covered, and that all the tests pass.
