[Volto](https://github.com/plone/volto) add-on to style blocks and other components

## Features

A generic framework to style blocks and other components.

To configure it, set `settings.pluggableStylesBlocksWhitelist` as a list of
block types that you want to enable. By default it is enabled for all blocks.

#### IMPORTANT! Because of the way it works, you should always load this addon as the last addon in Volto project configuration.

From version 5.2.7 you can use blocks as page header by enabling 'Use as page header' from the 'Advanced' tab.

## Getting started

### Try volto-block-style with Docker

      git clone https://github.com/eea/volto-block-style.git
      cd volto-block-style
      make
      make start

Go to http://localhost:3000

`make start` now defaults to Volto 18. To run the same setup against Volto 17, use:

      VOLTO_VERSION=17 make
      VOLTO_VERSION=17 make start

### Add volto-block-style to your Volto project

1. Make sure you have a [Plone backend](https://plone.org/download) up-and-running at http://localhost:8080/Plone

   ```Bash
   docker compose up backend
   ```

1. Start Volto frontend

* If you already have a volto project, just update `package.json`:

   ```JSON
   "dependencies": {
       "@eeacms/volto-block-style": "*"
   }
   ```

   and `volto.config.js`:

   ```JavaScript
   const addons = ['@eeacms/volto-block-style'];
   ```

* If not, create one with Cookieplone, as recommended by the official Plone documentation for Volto 18+:

   ```
   uvx cookieplone project
   cd project-title
   ```

1. Install or update dependencies, then start the project:

   ```
   make install
   ```

   For a Cookieplone project, start the backend and frontend in separate terminals:

   ```
   make backend-start
   make frontend-start
   ```

   For a legacy Volto 17 project, install the package with `yarn` and restart the frontend as usual.

1. Go to http://localhost:3000

1. Happy editing!
