Builds on #3051 (BlockInfo API refactor), which is merged into main. This PR now holds the complete container-blocks work: the original container and frame API, plus #3142 (keyboard settings and the container flag) and #3143 (toggle drop and menu block types), which were merged into this branch. Their descriptions have the details of each part.

What changes

1. Container blocks and frames

  • A container is a block whose own node holds its child blocks, such as a column list. It declares container: true and must have content: "none". children says which child blocks it accepts: { allow: [...], min }. Every other block accepts any child blocks.
  • renderFrame is a second hook next to render. It draws the box around a block's content and children: { dom, slot, update? }. Returning undefined declines the frame, so a block can decide this from its props or children.
  • Repair: a container that drops below min dissolves into its remaining children. Blocks that can only live in a container are padded.
  • Validation: bad content and children combinations, regular blocks in allow, require cycles, and a missing render or renderFrame throw when the spec is defined.
  • Exporters: a block mapping is a plain function, or { withChildren } when the mapping places the rendered children itself. A container with a plain mapping throws.
  • Block colors sit on .bn-block, so they reach the children of any framed block.
  • Examples: 09-container-block (a panel with a live frame) and 13-callout-block (a titled block with a body).

2. Keyboard settings (from #3142)

A block implementation has an experimental_keyboard option: only the settings that differ from the defaults, or a function of the block that returns them. The option is marked experimental because the API is under discussion and may change.

Setting Values Default
enter "split", "into-children", "line-break" "split"
shiftEnter "line-break", "same-as-enter" "line-break"
splitKeepsType boolean false
resetsTo { type, props? } { type: "paragraph" }
emptyEnterResets boolean false
emptyChildEnter "outdent", "exit-at-end", "stay" "outdent" (containers: "exit-at-end")
childrenCanOutdent boolean true (containers: false)

The central Enter and Backspace handlers read these settings in a fixed order. List items declare splitKeepsType and emptyEnterResets, so they no longer need their own Enter handler. The toggles use the function form: Enter goes into the children only while the toggle is open. meta.hardBreakShortcut is deprecated.

The built-in toggles are built with renderFrame (createToggleFrame). The chevron has an accessible name and aria-expanded. A toggle heading turned into a regular heading stops being a toggle.

Backspace keeps a block's identity: below an empty block of the same type and props, the block moves up into its place and keeps its id. Below an empty block of another type, the text moves into that block, as in Notion.

3. Toggle drop and menu block types (from #3143)

  • A block dragged onto a toggle's title, chevron or "Add block" button becomes the toggle's first child, as in Notion. The drop cursor shows the place and the toggle is highlighted like a selected block. A block declares this with meta.dropsIntoChildren.
  • A toggle stays open when its last child is removed or moved out.
  • getDefaultBlockTypeItems(editor) in core returns the block types that the schema supports, with their props. The slash menu and the block type select both use it, each in its own order. The block type select now shows headings when toggle headings are disabled, and only the configured heading levels.

Issues

Breaking changes

  • createToggleWrapper (core) and ToggleWrapper (React) are removed. Use renderFrame with createToggleFrame. The toggleable-blocks example is removed.
  • Toggles no longer have data-show-children. Use .bn-toggle-button[aria-expanded].
  • meta.hardBreakShortcut is deprecated. Use experimental_keyboard.enter and experimental_keyboard.shiftEnter.
  • blockTypeSelectItems(dict) is now blockTypeSelectItems(editor): the items depend on the schema.
  • A container must declare container: true and needs a { withChildren } exporter mapping.

Known gaps

  • The block colors need a node view on every block. If blocks without a frame stop getting a node view (review item below), unframed blocks need the old direct-child color rules back.
  • In an empty toggle heading, the slash menu's "Heading 2" converts the block. Notion keeps the toggle heading and inserts a new heading below it.
  • Improve delete key behavior near image blocks #1478 is reopened: Backspace at the start of text below an image still deletes the image.
  • The core unit tests sometimes fail with "document is not defined" (a ProseMirror flush timer after a jsdom test file). Separate fix.

TODO

  • Decide the name of container: true before release. Candidates: container: true, layoutBlock: true, frameOnly: true. frameOnly only fits if a container draws its box in renderFrame instead of render.
  • Decide the keyboard settings API (experimental_keyboard): declarative settings vs. lower-level primitives (see the discussion on feat(core): split keyboard behaviour from container structure #3142).

Review checklist

The open review threads on this PR, grouped. Each one is resolved when its item is done or moved to a follow-up issue.

Bugs: fix before merging

  • Tab on the second child of a container with min: 2 throws (09-container-block/Panel.tsx:5, nestBlock.ts:225: sinkItem never checks that the join target accepts the block).
  • The + button of blocks in the 2nd and 3rd column can't be clicked since the +50 hack was removed (SideMenu.ts:56).
  • Enter in an empty column moves the cursor out of the column list and dissolves the column. main and Notion create a new block (KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:704).
  • Backspace at the start of the first block of the right column: review the new result against main (KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:930).
  • A column can now contain a column list (xl-multi-column/blocks/Columns/index.ts:17).
  • Enter at the end or middle of a block with nested children: main's behaviour is the intended one (splitBlock.test.ts.snap:625, enterPreservesNestedBlocks.json:28).

Decisions

  • Skip the node view for blocks that never draw a frame (BlockContainer.ts:152). Conflicts with the block colors on .bn-block, see Known gaps.
  • A frame without update rebuilds on every keystroke (node.eq compares the subtree). Make update mandatory, or smarter (BlockContainer.ts:60).
  • ignoreFrameChromeMutations: still needed after the Dark Reader changes? Add tests or remove (nodeViewMutations.ts:51, BlockContainer.ts:196).
  • renderFrame is on every block's type but not honoured for every block: exclude it in the type, or signal it (types.ts:715). Related to the container: true name.
  • DocumentFragment support for frames has no producer (internal.ts:167).
  • Would the code be simpler if render never returned a frame, only renderFrame (serializeBlocksExternalHTML.ts:248)?
  • SideMenu.ts:62: is this needed, and is it covered by tests?
  • The _tiptapEditor lookup looks hacky (serializeBlocksInternalHTML.ts:217).
  • Naming: a blockContainer is not a container node (children.ts:26).

Refactors and cleanup

  • BlockContainer.ts is hard to navigate: createFrameView returns a NodeView but isn't used as one; naming (BlockContainer.ts:17).
  • Follow-up candidate: migrate BlockContainer to the container API (BlockContainer.ts:1).
  • The props-to-data- attributes rule is written five ways (containerAttributes.ts:23).
  • Maybe drop (createSpec.ts:225).
  • Use the existing isContainer helper (Exporter.ts:84).
  • Variable name: the node may not be a blockContainer (nodeToBlock.ts:571); nodeToBlock.ts:564 only needs resolving.
  • BlockPopover has three branches that know the DOM structure; use a shared helper (BlockPopover.tsx:32).
  • createReactBlockSpec is hard to read, mostly pre-existing (ReactBlockSpec.tsx:262); make the container path consistent with BlockContentWrapper (ReactBlockSpec.tsx:465).
  • testSchema.ts:130: remove this.renderType; the extra-UI test only covers containers, not framed blocks.
  • Extend the default testDocument instead of adding containers to each exporter test (docxExporter.test.ts:420).
  • BlockInfo.contentKind doc still says a hand-written node's content expression is checked when the schema is built; that check was removed here (170757178, moved from refactor(core): simplify the BlockInfo API into a single vocabulary for block plumbing #3051's thread "is this a bit overkill?"). Fix the doc, or restore a minimal check.
  • Docs: streamline the Alert and Callout examples (container-blocks.mdx:110); should this be renderFrame (container-blocks.mdx:49); the Typst addition (typst.mdx:123); first-child/last-child are not container-specific (manipulating-content.mdx:176).

Testing

  • CI is green on this content (it was the head of feat(core): drop a block into a toggle (BLO-956) #3143 before the fold).
  • Locally, after the main merge: lint clean; core 1,043, react 5, diagram-block 29, xl-docx-exporter 10 and tests 958 unit tests pass; the toggle, keyboard, placeholder, static, exporter, block identity and container browser suites pass in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit.
  • After pulling, run pnpm install: main moved docx to 9.9.0, and the DOCX snapshots need it.

The commits are split by topic for review. Only the complete PR is tested, so please squash on merge.

… for block plumbing

Replaces the BlockInfo union's isBlockContainer/childContainer/blockContent
shape with block/content/children, and annotates it with the facts callers
kept re-deriving by hand: contentStart/contentEnd, childrenStart/
childrenEnd, contentKind (read off the spec config stored on the node), and
isContentEmpty. The +1/-1 position arithmetic around content edges, tables
and child ranges moves into blockEdgePos/blockEdgeSelection/
tableContentCaretPos and the ChildrenInfo fields.

The six producers collapse to four named by the input you already have:
getBlockInfoFromNode, getBlockInfoAt, getBlockInfoNearPos,
getBlockInfoFromSelection. Block navigation (parent/prev/next/last-
descendant) joins them here instead of living beside the merge command.

All block manipulation (insert/move/nest/replace/split/update, selections,
clipboard, serialization, conversions, keyboard shortcuts) is rewired onto
the new vocabulary. insertBlocks gains "first-child"/"last-child"
placements resolved through getInsertionPos, shared with the move commands
so "can this block go here?" has one schema-driven answer; hand-written
nodes are checked against their declared content kind when the schema is
built (checkNodeMatchesConfig).

📝 Walkthrough
📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds generic container-block support. It updates schemas, editing commands, rendering, React integration, side-menu behavior, exporters, multi-column blocks, documentation, examples, and test coverage.

Changes

Container block contracts and schema
BlockConfig now supports child rules and placement constraints. Shared helpers validate child configurations, identify container nodes, create child groups, and apply container attributes.

Editing and document behavior
Insertion, movement, nesting, merging, splitting, updating, repair, selection, and keyboard shortcuts now support nested and titled containers. Content carry-over and minimum-child repair are covered by new tests.

Rendering and React integration
Vanilla and React blocks support child references, optional frames, container attributes, frame node views, direct container resolution, and unwrapped container HTML output.

Exporters, examples, and documentation
DOCX, ODT, PDF, email, and Typst exporters pass children to container mappings. Multi-column blocks use generic container specs. New container and callout examples and documentation are included.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the unified container-block support because it spans editing, rendering, exporters, examples, and validation while addressing the medium-severity Enter-key behavior issue.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: yousefed


Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 17075

Container editing can still detach children or insert an invalid child, while some invalid schemas are not rejected cleanly. These issues should be resolved before merge.

commit: caf88d1

Resolve block shape directly, validate wrapper structure at the BlockInfo boundary, and convert content from the established content kind. Move insertion resolution into BlockInfo and use node bounds for last-descendant navigation, updating callers and regression coverage.
Build container ownership and editing on the BlockInfo helpers. Keep repair policy centralized, use the existing NodeView lifecycle for JS and React frames, and expose shared helpers through the core entrypoint.

Return the node unchanged when no descendant needs an id.

withGeneratedIds always rebuilds the whole subtree. In the common case the children were built by blockToNode, which already assigns an id to every block, so the rebuild mints nothing and only allocates.

The cost compounds with nesting. blockToNode recurses, so for a chain of d nested containers the innermost subtree is passed through withGeneratedIds once per enclosing container level. That makes container conversion O(d × n) instead of O(n).

Rebuild only the branches that actually change.

Destroy the editor in an afterEach hook.

editorWith mounts a real editor into the DOM. Every test destroys it as its last statement. If an assertion fails, destroy() never runs, so the mounted editor and its plugins leak into the following tests and can produce misleading cascading failures. Track the created editor and destroy it in afterEach.

452-475: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Separate attribute synchronization from the content mount.

mountChildren is re-created on every render. React therefore calls the previous ref with null and the new ref with the element on each render. Two effects follow from that:

  1. applyContainerAttributes and the data-selected toggle only stay in sync because the ref identity is unstable. If a later change memoizes mountChildren, prop and selection updates stop landing on the author's root, and the test at ReactBlockSpec.container.browser.test.tsx lines 161-171 would be the only signal.
  2. TipTap's content host detaches and re-attaches on every container render, including renders caused by author-local state, which is DOM churn inside the editable region.

FrameNodeView already memoizes its mount callback on [mountContent]. Use the same shape here, and apply the attributes in an effect that depends on the block props, the id, and props.selected.

♻️ Proposed split of mounting and attribute sync
-              function mountChildren(element: HTMLElement | null) {
-                mountContent(element);

-                  "[data-node-view-wrapper]",

useEffect needs to be added to the React import at line 28.

Inline comments:
In `@examples/06-custom-schema/12-alert-blocks/vite.config.ts`:
- Line 16: Update the source-alias paths and existence guard in the Vite
configuration from ../../packages/... to ../../../packages/... so they resolve
to the repository-level packages directory. Also update the generator that
produces this configuration to emit the corrected paths, including the alias
entries referenced by the comment.

In `@examples/06-custom-schema/13-callout-block/vite.config.ts`:
- Line 27: Update the source alias paths used by the Vite configuration
generator for `@blocknote/core` and `@blocknote/react` from ../../packages/... to
../../../packages/... so they resolve to the repository packages directories,
then regenerate the generated vite.config.ts file.

In
`@packages/core/src/extensions/tiptap-extensions/KeyboardShortcuts/KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts`:
- Around line 1042-1045: Update the Enter handling around the titled-block
branch so an empty titled block with existing children is handled before the
generic empty-block creation path. Preserve the existing children as the titled
block’s body and enter that body instead of creating a sibling paragraph or
detaching the children; use the nearby titled-block and empty-block conditionals
to make the ordering or exclusion change.
- Around line 1073-1076: Update the Enter-handling branch that creates newBlock
to derive its child type from the blockContainer configuration’s permitted
children instead of hard-coding the paragraph node. Ensure the created child
satisfies children.allow, including titled blocks that permit only types such as
heading.

In
`@packages/xl-multi-column/src/extensions/ColumnResize/ColumnResizeExtension.ts`:
- Around line 89-98: Update the “resize” handling in ColumnResizeExtension so it
verifies that leftColumn and rightColumn are still adjacent, ordered children of
columnList, not merely present by ID. Return the existing default state when
either column belongs to another list or the pair is non-adjacent; otherwise
preserve the current state update.

In `@tests/src/unit/react/reactFrame.test.tsx`:
- Line 432: Reset the module-level activeFrames counter in the test suite’s
afterEach hook after root?.unmount() performs frame cleanup, so each test starts
from a known state and the absolute assertions remain reliable.

Outside diff comments:
In `@docs/content/docs/features/custom-schemas/custom-blocks.mdx`:
- Around line 55-59: Update the documented BlockConfig type declaration to
include the children property required for container block configurations,
matching the usage described later in the document. Ensure users copying the
declaration can represent blocks with children rather than documenting an
incomplete type.

Nitpick comments:
In `@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/containers/containers.test.ts`:
- Around line 430-449: Move the Tray block specification and trayEditor
initialization into a suitable beforeEach or beforeAll hook, and destroy the
editor in the corresponding afterEach or afterAll hook. Ensure creation and
cleanup occur only as part of the test lifecycle rather than during collection,
while preserving the existing test behavior.

In `@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/containers/titledBlocks.test.ts`:
- Around line 20-24: Track the editor created by editorWith and destroy the
tracked instance in an afterEach hook, ensuring cleanup runs even when
assertions fail. Remove the individual per-test destroy() calls while preserving
each test’s existing behavior.

In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/blockToNode.ts`:
- Around line 348-362: Update withGeneratedIds to track whether any descendant
was changed and return the original node when neither it nor its descendants
needs a generated id. Rebuild only nodes whose own id or child list changed,
preserving existing attributes and marks for unchanged branches.

882-884: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Move the titled-block Enter handler before the generic empty-block handler.

For an empty title with existing children, the generic handler runs first, moves the body into a sibling, and deletes the original child range. The titled-block handler preserves the body by inserting the new block inside it. Reorder these handlers so the titled-block handler handles this case first.

Handle mixed selections at a target-column edge.

If a drag contains all target-column children and blocks from another column, allTargetChildrenDragged is true and the handler returns without moving the extra blocks. Only use the no-op path when the dragged ID set exactly equals the target child-ID set. For a mixed selection that empties the target, calculate the insertion index from the original column order.

returns only when the dragged ID set exactly matches the target column’s
child-ID set. For mixed selections containing target children and blocks from
another column, continue moving the extra blocks, including when the target
column becomes empty, and calculate the insertion index from the original column
order.

Comment thread packages/core/src/schema/blocks/validateChildren.ts
`handleDrop` used the target from the last `dragover`. If the target
was removed in the meantime (e.g. by a collaborator), it threw halfway
through the move. It now looks up the target first and lets ProseMirror
drop the blocks when it is gone. The drop also clears the highlight.
…O-1236)

The block type select filtered a fixed item list by prop names and types.
With `allowToggleHeadings: false` it showed no headings at all, and with
`levels` it still showed every heading level.

`getDefaultBlockTypeItems(editor)` (core) now returns the block types that
the schema supports, with their props: headings for the configured levels,
toggle headings only when the heading has `isToggleable`. The slash menu
and the block type select both use it, each in its own order.

Breaking: `blockTypeSelectItems(dict)` is now `blockTypeSelectItems(editor)`.
The block implementation option for keyboard settings is now
`experimental_keyboard`. The API is still under discussion and may
change. The resolved settings on a schema spec stay at `keyboard`, and
the declared option is no longer kept on the spec.

…p isContainerConfig

- nestBlock: `sinkItem` opens its slice into the previous sibling and its block group only, never into the group's last child. Tab after a column list (or any container node) now nests the block instead of throwing. `insert` follows the open depth; the step is applied with `tr.step` again, since the schema cannot refuse it.
- `children.min` is only valid with an `allow` list. `{ allow: "blocks" }` cannot carry it; the type and `validateChildrenConfigs` enforce this. `min: 0` lets a container be empty.
- Remove `isContainerConfig`: it was a plain property check.
- Docs: trim the typst section on blocks that place their children; describe `insertBlocks` placements for all blocks; document the `children.min` rule.
- Cleanups: the mergeBlocks test asserts that children are lifted and the comment names `createChainableState`; `nodeToBlock` loop variable; `contentKind` doc; the Exporter's container check.
- Columns: Enter in an empty column block adds another block (`emptyChildEnter: "stay"`), as in Notion. Other containers keep the default, where an empty last block leaves the container.
- Split: the children of a split block follow the text after the caret into the new block again, as on `main`. The new keyboard setting `splitKeepsChildren` keeps them on the block. It defaults to `true` when Enter goes into the children, and closed toggles set it.
- `children.exclude` names the container types a container of any blocks does not hold. Columns exclude column lists, as on `main`. The content expression is built when the editor builds its ProseMirror schema, from the complete block specs.
- A block's `meta` is resolved once per spec (`resolveBlockMeta`), like its keyboard settings. `draggable` defaults to `false` for a named-only container, which can only live in its parent.
- Multi-column drop: dropping blocks onto a target they hold does nothing, instead of throwing `Block with ID ... not found` (a CI flake).
- Tests: Backspace at the start of a column's first block keeps the caret; column children; a browser test for the drop flake.
- Docs: keyboard settings, `children.exclude`, `meta.draggable`; no column example on the container page.
… rule

- A framed block's internal HTML marks its slot (`data-frame-slot-todo`), and the `blockContainer` parse rule reads only that element. Chrome a frame draws outside the slot no longer parses back as a paragraph. TODO: containers mark the same region with `data-children-of`; use one marker once container boxes move into `renderFrame`.
- External HTML leaves out `renderFrame`: a frame is editor chrome. A block that wants a wrapper returns one from `toExternalHTML`, with `childrenDOM` for its children.
- The test schema's callout always draws its chrome (no `this.renderType` branch), and the framed alert draws the same chrome, so the format-conversion tests cover both.
- One implementation of the props to `data-*` attribute rule (`propsToDataAttributes`, `setDataAttributes`, `applyDataAttributes`), used by blocks, inline content, tables, containers and the React specs. No output changes.
- Remove `isControl` from the side menu: it made the handle depend on whether a container's chrome is an element or padding.
Side menu files resolved from the container port of #3179 (meta.draggable
via isDraggable). blockDOM.ts stays in extensions/ (TableHandles uses it)
and gains getBlockElement and getDirectChildBlocks. renderFrame.test.ts no
longer imports the removed CONTAINER_SELECTOR.
- A container (`container: true`) declares only `renderFrame`; `render` is not permitted (`validateRenderHooks`). Its frame root carries the block's attributes.
- `render` returns only the block's content. Both HTML serializers call `renderFrame` themselves (`renderFrameDOM`).
- A block exports its frame unless it has its own `toExternalHTML`, which replaces the content and the frame. The spec has `toExternalHTML` only when the author wrote one.
- External HTML treats containers like regular blocks: no `data-node-type`, `data-id` or slot marker; props stay as `data-*`. Columns get `parse` functions, so they still round-trip. A container's children are kept when its own export places them nowhere.
- One slot marker (`data-frame-slot`) and finder (`findFrameSlot`). A frame's `dom` is an `HTMLElement`. `renderFrame`'s context no longer has `blockContentDOMAttributes`.
- React: frames take `slotRef`; `toExternalHTML` gets `childrenRef` (like core's `childrenDOM`); a container renders through `FrameNodeView`.
- `createBlockSpecFromTiptapNode` drops the unused `container`, `children` and `placeable` options.
- Main's doc comment for `render`'s `update` hook is restored.
