Create Blocks (CMS)

Make sure, you've created a new file as described in customize components.

Next, import the correct type for your block and use it to define the content property:

vue
<!-- components/cms/CmsBlockImageThreeColumn.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { CmsBlockImageThreeColumn } from "@shopware-pwa/composables-next";

const props = defineProps<{
  content: CmsBlockImageThreeColumn;
}>();
</script>

Slots

Only for cms-base package

Also here, if you are not using the cms-base package, you have to come up with your own implementation of a generic component that handles the slot resolution. In that case, please ignore the mentions of CmsGenericElement.

Since blocks are usually layouts, they have slots which can be filled with dynamic content - CMS elements. Since blocks are flexible, the specific type of the element is not known in advance.

For that reason, there's a generic element CmsGenericElement which can be placed in every slot. It receives the content configuration as its only prop.

Let's build the image-three-column block, which has three slots - left, center and right.

vue
<!-- components/cms/CmsBlockImageThreeColumn.vue -->
<template>
    <div class="grid grid-cols-3">
        <CmsGenericElement
            :content="props.content.slots.filter(
                (slot) => slot.slot === 'left')
            " />
        <CmsGenericElement
            :content="props.content.slots.filter(
                (slot) => slot.slot === 'center')
            " />
        <CmsGenericElement
            :content="props.content.slots.filter(
                (slot) => slot.slot === 'right')
            " />
    </div>
</template>

That works, but it's quite repetiive and hard to read. So we can use another composable useCmsBlock which makes our lives way easier.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { CmsBlockImageThreeColumn } from "@shopware-pwa/composables-next";

const props = defineProps<{
  content: CmsBlockImageThreeColumn;
}>();

const { getSlotContent } = useCmsBlock(props.content);

const leftContent = getSlotContent("left");
const rightContent = getSlotContent("right");
const centerContent = getSlotContent("center");
</script>
<template>
    <div class="grid grid-cols-3">
        <CmsGenericElement :content="leftContent" />
        <CmsGenericElement :content="centerContent" />
        <CmsGenericElement :content="rightContent" />
    </div>
</template>

No you can go ahead and override blocks and elements step by step.
