Product Updates

A small addition to our Plugin SDK: it is now possible to retrieve the number of blocks currently used inside a record via the ctx.blocksAnalysis property.

The information is exposed in every hook related to records editing, namely Field extensions, Sidebar panels, and Form outlets:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { connect, RenderItemFormOutletCtx } from 'datocms-plugin-sdk';
connect({
  itemFormOutlets(model, ctx) {
    return [{ id: 'myOutlet' }];
  },
  renderItemFormOutlet(outletId, ctx) {
    const {
      blocksAnalysis: {
        usage: {
          /** Total number of blocks present in form state */
          total,
          /** Total number of blocks present in non-localized fields */
          nonLocalized,
          /** Total number of blocks present in localized fields, per locale */
          perLocale,
        },
        /** Maximum number of blocks per item */
        maximumPerItem,
      },
    } = ctx;
    
    // render the outlet here
  },
});
