Provide a Config Action so recipes can add a block to a dashboard

Hi @penyaskito,
Can you please provide more details in the issue summary?

Thanks !!

Config action documentation:
https://git.drupalcode.org/project/distributions_recipes/-/blob/1.0.x/do...

I've been thinking a bit about this one and probably layout builder itself would need to support this (and we would build on top of it if even anything is needed).
Might be postponed on that, I still need to investigate if that's something that has been considered (great having @thejimbirch around!)

My understanding is that there hasn’t been any layout builder config actions work. We may need to create an issue for layout builder that this issue will be postponed on.

I created an issue in the layout builder issue queue that you can postpone upon.

As we might need something for 10.3.x, and don't think that would be backported, I've crafted something that eventually could be moved to layout builder.

I'm not even sure if layout builder can provide this OOTB to every entity using it. Might be able to make it easier, but not 100% sure it can provide the action itself.

@thejimbirch With this I can create a recipe like:

name: Dashboard Test Recipe
type: Examples
description: 'Adds a block to a recipe.'
install:
  - dashboard
config:
  actions:
    dashboard.dashboard.test:
      addBlock:
        section: 0
        position: 1
        value:
          uuid: ab6caaa0-9c46-4a30-aa34-18d5eab917c3
          id: dashboard_text_block
          label: 'Dashboard Block via Config Action'
          label_display: 'visible'
          provider: 'dashboard'
          region:
            layout_twocol_section: 'second'
          default_region: content
          context_mapping: { }
          text:
            value: '<p>This block was added via a config action</p>'
            format: 'basic_html'

And after running ddev . php core/scripts/drupal recipe recipes/dashboard_test_recipe I get

Took a look and code looks great!

Neat and simpler than I expected.

Very cool!

This may come with your @TODO for weights as I suspect you used this as inspiration, but in the placeBlock... block action, they allow you to use first and last. It would be great if you could do that for both section and position.

This should be fixed once ✨ Provide a Config Action to add/edit a component in a layout Active lands. Postponing this on that, but probably this will be just closed.

This isn't a blocker because we don't have any examples of recipes that are ready to do this, but it will be nice to have.

Since the SEO dashboard was removed, the idea is to use this. But since it is not possible yet, no work has been done for it yet.

@thejimbirch I see, sorry I really did not have that on my radar. We also have a rough idea to add blocks for content publishing, but haven't really defined it.

Do you want to make an issue for the SEO blocks to be added so that we can begin to discuss it? The planning/design step is quite important so we can look at that now to be ready when this is unblocked.

For the record:

Nothing _should_ need to happen here if ✨ Provide a Config Action to add/edit a component in a layout Active lands in core.

If we need to do this here as a workaround before a new Drupal core release, we still would need SectionListTrait::setSection() to be public for it.
