Block editor

A modern CMS lets you compose a page from blocks: a hero, a quote, an image gallery, a pricing table, a call-to-action. WordPress's Gutenberg pioneered this pattern — and then buried it under React complexity, theme-compatibility quirks, and a sea of "block library" plugins.

Contensio's block editor is purpose-built, Laravel-native, and pluggable. Blocks are PHP classes registered through the plugin API. Content stays structured in the database — not trapped in HTML-with-comment markers. Themes render blocks through Blade partials they fully control.

Blocks that ship in the core

Plugins register their own blocks

A Forms plugin can register a Contact Form block. A Commerce plugin can register a Product Grid. The editor picks them up automatically; no core modifications, no theme changes.

// In your plugin's service provider
BlockType::register('contact-form', [
    'label'  => 'Contact form',
    'icon'   => 'bi-envelope',
    'fields' => [
        'form_id'   => ['type' => 'select', 'options' => $forms],
        'cta_label' => ['type' => 'text', 'translatable' => true],
    ],
    'render' => 'forms::blocks.contact-form',
]);

Content stays structured

Each block is stored as JSON — type, field values, position. Your theme renders it, your SEO tools read from it, your import/export moves it. Unlike WordPress's block markers (HTML comments that encode block data), Contensio's blocks are first-class data you can query.
