Local blocks and Content Delivery API

Hi,

I noticed that my properties that are local blocks are not visible in the JSON that I get in return from a reqeust to the Content Delivery API.

Is there any way to include properties from local blocks in a request to "/api/episerver/v2.0/content/{referenceORguid}"?

I've been looking at making my own PropertyModel but I'm not sure how I can get it to apply to a local block. Anyone have any ideas or input?

Hi Niklas,

You should create a new property model converter for your custom property.

Checkout this document for more details.

Hi Quan,

Thanks for your reply!

I've been looking at making my own property model but as I said, I'm not sure how I can get it to apply to a local block.

If I create a new class that inherits from PropertyModel<TValue,TType> , what should i put as TType? It must be a type that is a type of PropertyData, and what type of PropertyData is a local block?

Do you have any example of this? I can't get it to work.

Hi Niklas,

Can you show me the code of your custom property and its usage ?

Hi Quan,

I don't have any code to show you since I don't know what to put as TType for a local block.

Hi Niklas,

You can put PropertyBlock as TType.

You can take a look at the music festival template site to see the real scenario on how to create custom block and implement property model.
