📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds schema-defined container block support across core and React. It updates schema validation, node conversion, block manipulation, keyboard behavior, UI anchoring, exporters, and tests. It also adds an internal core entry point and extends insertion placements with ChangesContainer block support
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new container-block API can currently throw during nested-content conversion, drop container content, leave containers below their required child minimum, misplace the caret after keyboard moves, and flatten nested containers incorrectly in ODT export. Because these behaviors can cause editing failures or document fidelity problems, the PR is not ready to merge until the major correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by owners.

- Around line 226-246: The merge path in mergeIntoContainerContent must repair
the parent container when its first child is deleted and no non-empty child
remains. Capture the parent before tr.delete, then apply its whenEmptied repair
via fixContainersById in the same transaction before dispatching, while
preserving the existing insertion, deletion, selection, and dispatch behavior.
In `@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/commands/moveBlocks/moveBlocks.ts`:
- Around line 211-229: Update checkPlacementIsValid and its callers to validate
insertion using the first node type produced by flattenNonInsertableBlocks
rather than always editor.pmSchema.nodes["blockContainer"]. Ensure blocks-only
destinations reject flattened types such as callout before insertBlocks runs,
and add a regression test covering this placement validation.
In `@packages/core/src/api/exporters/html/util/serializeBlocksInternalHTML.ts`:
- Around line 221-231: Update fillContainerAttributes calls in
serializeBlocksInternalHTML.ts#L221-L231 and
serializeBlocksExternalHTML.ts#L275-L289 to pass containerRootDOM(ret) instead
of casting ret.dom to HTMLElement, ensuring both serializers support container
renders that return DocumentFragment.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/blockToNode.ts`:
- Around line 487-507: Update the empty-container branch in the block creation
function around seedDefaultChildren and unwrapsWhenEmptied so a whenEmptied:
"unwrap" node with no default children satisfies its schema before node.check()
runs. Create it with valid seeded children or perform the unwrap repair before
validation, while preserving existing behavior for containers that already have
defaults.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/fragmentToBlocks.ts`:
- Around line 18-28: Update getContainerChildren to validate a content
container’s lastChild before returning it as the children holder, matching the
isContainerNode(lastChild.type) guard used by getChildrenHolder; return
undefined when the last child is the inline __content node rather than a block
container, while preserving the existing behavior for valid block children and
regular containers.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/nodeToBlock.ts`:
- Around line 600-638: Update the container handling in the node-to-block
conversion flow around childrenHolder and processNode so a content-bearing
container opened at the start preserves its selected __content while also
including the traversed child blocks. Ensure the outer block content is retained
when the slice starts inside __content and continues through __children, and add
regression coverage for this scenario.
In `@packages/core/src/editor/BlockNoteEditor.ts`:
- Around line 563-569: Update the release migration or upgrade notes to document
that BlockNoteEditor construction now throws when initialContent fails
validation, including cases such as containers below children.min; mention that
previously tolerated invalid structures may no longer load.

- Around line 297-310: Guard the element lookup in updateStateFromMousePos so an
empty container does not dereference null: use the container’s blockOuter
element or firstElementChild when available, otherwise fall back to the editor
anchor used by the existing else branch (this.pmView.dom.firstChild). Remove the
non-null assertion while preserving the current x-coordinate behavior.

mapped position instead of firstLeaf.beforePos or target.beforePos.

to capture the affected ancestor container IDs before deleting
blockInfo.bnBlock, then call fixContainersById after the move using those IDs.
Preserve the existing delete, insert, selection, and return behavior while
ensuring the source container receives its minimum-child and whenEmptied
repairs.
- Around line 415-423: In the guard handling bottomNestedPrevBlockInfo, remove
the unreachable duplicated check after the existing isWrappedBlock return,
unless the intended logic is a distinct boundary condition; if so, replace it
with that specific check rather than repeating the same predicate.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/containerAttributes.ts`:
- Around line 10-21: Update the attribute construction in the container
attribute function so prop serialization cannot overwrite the reserved
data-node-type or data-id markers; emit these markers after the blockProps loop,
preserving the existing omission rules and marker values.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/schema.ts`:
- Around line 98-116: Update the schema extension flow around
validateChildrenConfigs and validateContainerRunsBefore to support staged,
chainable extend() calls for related container blocks. Defer or relax validation
of incomplete intermediate configurations so adding a placement "containerOnly"
child before its parent does not throw, while still validating the final
assembled schema and preserving errors for genuinely invalid configurations.
In `@packages/xl-ai/src/prosemirror/agent.test.ts`:
- Line 42: Regenerate the `@blocknote/core` declaration for getBlockInfoFromPos so
BlockInfo exposes isWrappedBlock instead of the stale isBlockContainer property.
This root-cause declaration update must support the guards in

getBoundingClientRect; keep the existing hit-test behavior unchanged.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/createSpec.ts`:
- Around line 288-340: Extract the duplicated Node.create configuration from
buildContainerNode and buildContentContainerNode into a shared factory accepting
the node name, content expression, and groups. Preserve the existing shared
behavior for marks, selectable, isolating, defining, priority, attributes,
parsing, rendering, and node views, while leaving each caller responsible only
for its differing content and group values.
In `@packages/react/src/schema/ReactBlockSpec.container.browser.test.tsx`:
- Around line 88-112: Destroy the local editors created by the first two tests
in their respective cleanup paths: avoid shadowing the module-scope editor used
by afterEach, and explicitly destroy the headless editor created near the start
of the suite. Ensure both editors are destroyed after each test so their plugins
and listeners do not leak.
In `@packages/react/vitestSetup.ts`:
- Around line 3-18: Update the __TEST_OPTIONS setup in beforeEach and afterEach
to use the same host resolution as the core vitest setup: use window when
available and globalThis in the node environment, rather than returning when
window is absent. Preserve resetting the option before each test and cleaning it
up afterward.
In `@tests/src/unit/react/useNodeViewBlock.test.tsx`:
- Around line 185-188: Update the test case around “rejects container blocks
loudly instead of resolving the wrong block” to locate the box container by its
block type rather than the positional editor.document[3] index, while preserving
the existing getNodeById and makeProps setup.

Repair the parent container after merging away its first child.
mergeIntoContainerContent dispatches the deletion without calling fixContainersById. When no other non-empty child remains, ProseMirror can leave a schema-filled empty child, so a container such as toggle remains below its min: 1 non-empty-child requirement. Capture the parent before deletion and apply its whenEmptied repair in the same transaction.

Both serializers cast ret.dom to HTMLElement before applying container attributes. The render contract declares dom: HTMLElement | DocumentFragment, and fillContainerAttributes calls hasAttribute/setAttribute. A container render that returns a DocumentFragment makes export throw. packages/core/src/schema/blocks/createSpec.ts already resolves the correct element with containerRootDOM(output).

Guard the content-container lastChild before treating it as a children holder.
getContainerChildren returns node.lastChild! for any content container. If a fragment carries a content-bearing container whose generated __children node was cut away, lastChild is the __content node, which holds inline content and not blocks. Two failures follow:
isSelfContainedContainer(Line 43) compares the inline child count againstmin.pushFlattened(Line 81) passes inline nodes tonodeToBlock, which throwsNode should be a bnBlock, but is instead: text.
getChildrenHolder in packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/nodeToBlock.ts (Lines 544-555) guards this exact case with isContainerNode(lastChild.type).

Remove the duplicated guard, or restore the intended second check.
Line 415 already returns false when bottomNestedPrevBlockInfo is not a wrapped block. The block at Lines 418-423 repeats the same condition plus a truthiness check on a value that is always defined, so it can never be reached. If the second check was meant to test something else, for example a sealed boundary as in Lines 495-511, add that check instead.

Caret is placed with a pre-mutation position in both Delete move branches. Each branch captures a source position, then deletes, inserts, and repairs containers, and finally resolves that original position against the mutated document. The moved block is inserted at blockInfo.bnBlock.afterPos, which precedes the source position, so the caret lands in the source container instead of the moved block. Map the insertion position through the steps, as the Enter branch at Lines 1227-1241 does.

Protect the data-node-type and data-id markers from prop-name collisions.
camelToDataKebab maps a prop named nodeType to data-node-type and a prop named id to data-id. The prop loop runs after the marker is set, so such a prop overwrites the type marker. Container parse rules and DOM queries match on [data-node-type=<type>], so the block would stop parsing and stop being found. Write the markers last, or reject these prop names during schema validation.

Support staged extend() calls for related container blocks.
extend() is chainable, but each call validates only the current specs. Adding a placement: "containerOnly" child before its parent throws no container's children.allow array includes it, even though the final schema is valid. Allow staged additions or document that related blocks must be added in one call.

Regenerate the @blocknote/core declarations. The source BlockInfo type uses isWrappedBlock, but packages/core/types/src/api/getBlockInfoFromPos.d.ts still exposes isBlockContainer. The three xl-ai tests import getBlockInfo from @blocknote/core, so these guards fail type-checking until the declarations are regenerated.

What this adds
A first-class API for container blocks: custom blocks that hold other blocks as children, declared with a new
childrenconfig onBlockConfig:<type>__content,<type>__children) behind one block type.validateChildren.ts,assertSchemaInvariants.ts): child configs are checked at schema build time, with reachability checks forplacement: "containerOnly"blocks.fixContainer.ts): removals that empty a container belowmineither unwrap it or refill it fromdefault, applied by the block manipulation API and the keyboard handlers.KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts): the previous hardcoded columnList Backspace/Delete/Enter handlers are generalized to any container, driven by schema navigation (containerNav.ts) and theboundaryconfig (sealedcontainers never leak or swallow content implicitly).data-children-ofmarkers so non-content UI text in a render never parses back as document content,parse/parseContent/runsBeforesupport for containers.insertBlocksplacements ("start"/"end"),updateBlockconversions into/out of containers, container-awaremoveBlocks/nestBlock/mergeBlocks.sideMenuContainerGeometry.ts,containerUI.ts), React node-view support (ReactBlockSpec,useNodeViewBlock),BlockPopoverfixes.@blocknote/core/internalentry point for the container machinery that integrations (e.g.xl-multi-column) need but that isn't public API.Legacy multi-column compatibility
