How to get a list of all repeaters?

[nikhiltri]

We're working on migrating our codebase up from an older version of Twill. There used to be config blocks in block_editor that listed all blocks and repeaters, and call config('twill.block_editor.repeaters') or config('twill.block_editor.blocks') to get lists of all these resources and do things with them. These have since been replaced with annotations in block and repeater Blade files. Is there still a way to get lists of all blocks and repeaters?

Hey @nikhiltri,

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but you can query the available repeaters and blocks from BlockCollection :

$repeaters = app(BlockCollection::class)->getRepeaters()

// and

$blocks = app(BlockCollection::class)->getBlocks()

Hope this can help!

Yup, that works. I confirmed that this syntax works:

$repeatersConfig = app(BlockCollection::class)->getRepeaters();
$rep = $repeatersConfig->first(function (Block $block) {
   return $block->name == 'repeater_name___its_the_repeaters_file_name';
});

In place of:

$repeatersConfig = config('twill.block_editor.repeaters');
$rep = $repeatersConfig['repeater_name___key_in_block_editor_config'];

The old code returned an array, whereas the new code returns a Block object. So later references to $rep will need to be refactored.
