Content Block

To make it easier to display the Block List Editor editor in the front end, we have a helper view component

@await Component.InvokeAsync("RenderBlocks", new { blocks = Model.ContentBlocks, cssSeparatorClasses = "py-3" })

Where Model.ContentBlocks is just a list of Content from the Block List Editor

public List<Content> ContentBlocks { get; set; } = content.GetValue<List<Content>>("Content") ?? [];

The RenderBlock looks for components that implement the

public interface IContentBlockView : IContentBlock
{
    RenderMode RenderMode { get; }
}

This allows you to render your component in the front end by matching the element type alias. All you have to do is create a Blazor component and implement IContentBlockView like so.

@implements ZauberCMS.Core.Content.Interfaces.IContentBlockView
@if (Content != null)
{
    <div class="fs-6">
        @((MarkupString)(Content.GetValue<string>("Content") ?? string.Empty))
    </div>
}

@code {
    [Parameter] public Content? Content { get; set; }
    public string ContentTypeAlias => "RTEBlock";
    public RenderMode RenderMode => RenderMode.Static;
}

The above is an example of pulling data from the Rich Text Editor and displaying it to the user. The important part is making sure I set the ElementTypeAlias to match the content type being used on this content.

RenderMode

Because these blocks are Blazor and being rendered in .Net MVC, we can specify how we want them to be rendered. Most of the time you will want them to be static, but you can make them InteractiveServer if you have some interactive functionality in them. Just remember to add the Blazor .js script in your layout or any interactivity will not work.
