I can add a block inside a container

[djay]

Quanta doesn't have a design for this as it is not not designed to support container blocks.

In most cases you would click on a block inside the container and add before or after

But what about when the container is empty?

Proposed solution

Create an empty default block when the last block is deleted from a container

• means there should be a concept of default block
• there could be a generic selector block that you click to pick which block to replace it
  • but what size is it?
• containers with an empty text block can still be removed like volto does but perhaps on admin side

pros

• never have something too small it can't be clicked on
• no confusion over different kinds of buttons

Other solutions considered

Ways to support it could be

• quanta toolbar menu "add inside"
• gutenburg has an extra button inside containers (only sometimes appears? only when empty?)
  • cons: extra buttons are confusing

The more I've thought about this I think the current volto way of doing it is best. A container should never be empty. There should always be a default empty block automatically added if the last block is removed. It means there is no extra button needed and no confusion between the two buttons. If text block is not the default then perhaps there could be a ghost block that invites you to pick like the grid block currently has

@MAX-786 I've put my ideas on how it should work into the readme in the PR - https://github.com/collective/volto-hydra/pull/127
