[UX] Add "Mini-layout:" to beginning of block description. #35

My instinct every time is to type "mini" into the block search, expecting that will filter my block list to show all mini layouts. I think it would be helpful to include this text in the block description by default, so that people don't need to add it to every mini-layout manually.

This is an interesting idea.

I was thinking that it should be standardized with other blocks, such as Views, which put "Views:" in front of the title, not the description. It would be like:

I like it!

This looks good. But what about existing sites? Will they only be able to change the description and not the machine name?

herbdool commented 3 months ago

@izmeez my PR? It doesn't affect the actual machine_name, it just adds the text for display.

@herbdool - I tested this and love it. Works for me. Nice improvement.

Using mini-layouts in a recipe and concerned that the user experience is difficult for folks to discover where the block came from.

Temporary solution is to add information in the title and description of the block. But, this would help also help.

Adding a contextual menu option would also be nice. https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/mini_layouts/issues/44
