Nesting blocks in Universal Editor – Section > Tabs > Tab > Carousel not working

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a nested block structure in Universal Editor using the following JSON definition:

{ "definitions": [ { "title": "Tabs", "id": "tabs", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block", "template": { "name": "Tabs", "model": "tabs", "filter": "tabs" } } } } }, { "title": "Tab", "id": "tab", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block/item", "template": { "name": "Tab", "model": "tab", "filter": "tab" } } } } } ], "models": [], "filters": [ { "id": "tabs", "components": ["tab"] }, { "id": "tab", "components": ["teaser", "carousel"] } ] }

 

My goal is to achieve this structure:

- Section
- Tabs [container]
 - Tab [container]
   - Carousel (or other blocks like text, title, etc) [component]

 

However, I'm not getting the option to add components inside the tab block in the editor UI. Is there a limitation with nesting blocks like this in the Universal Editor, or am I missing a configuration detail?

You could’ve at least cut down or reworded the answer instead of just copying and pasting it. We're not here for answers like that - it doesn’t add any real value. We can figure that out ourselves too.

Hi @vijayra10 ,

To make nested structures like Tabs > Tab > Carousel work in the Universal Editor, ensure:

Both tabs and tab have "container": true in the models array

Your filters allow tab inside tabs, and components like carousel inside tab

The resourceType and template.model are consistently mapped

Example:

"models": [ { "id": "tabs", "container": true }, { "id": "tab", "container": true } ], "filters": [ { "id": "tabs", "components": ["tab"] }, { "id": "tab", "components": ["carousel", "teaser", "text", "title"] } ]

Hope this helps

    Hi @vijayra10,

    Try this

    { "definitions": [ { "title": "Tabs", "id": "tabs", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block", "template": { "name": "Tabs", "model": "tabs", "filter": "tabs" } } } } }, { "title": "Tab", "id": "tab", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block/item", "template": { "name": "Tab", "model": "tab", "filter": "tab" } } } } } ], "models": [ { "id": "tabs", "components": ["tab"] }, { "id": "tab", "components": ["teaser", "carousel"] } ], "filters": [ { "id": "tabs", "components": ["tab"] }, { "id": "tab", "components": ["teaser", "carousel"] } ] }
