Core Layout Builder does not support paragraphs. Thankfully Paragraph blocks module fills this gap. However, the authoring experience can be clunky when paragraph content needs to be added in the node edit form and its layout is configured in the layout builder form.

This module aims to provide smoother authoring experience for using paragraphs with layout builder.

How is this module different than Layout Paragraphs?

Layout Paragraphs adds the ability to use and arrange paragraphs in content layout using its own code and it does not leverage on core Layout Builder. The advantage is that it can achieve nested layout while it is still impossible to do so in core Layout Builder.

This module tries to leverage on core Layout Builder as we feel that it provides better support and compatibility with other modules. We have seen how ubercart vs commerce modules, or field_collection vs paragraphs module fared in the past. It is usually better to provide extended functionality to core instead of writing the system from scratch.

What are the limitations of this module?

It does not support nested layout. Workaround: consider using mini_layouts or add more layout options a la radix theme.
In 2.x the paragraphs are added to a fixed hardcoded field_contents field in the parent entity.
In 2.x the paragraph population is still rather clunky: paragraph edit form opens in a separate page as we try to avoid the nested modal issue when for some CKEditor buttons or media library modal

Roadmap for 3.x

Make sure it's compatible with D10
Create field widget (tentatively) with its constraint (only one field widget type per bundle) that will recognise the field to add the paragraphs to
Leverage on other modules (layout_builder_iframe_modal or layout_builder_modal) to provide the modal interface when editing the paragraph content
Add some automated tests!
