Documentation for blocks?

It would bereally handy to have a way to document blocks so those who consume the blocks can better understand what they're supposed to do. The pop-ups in the forms for values and such are useful, but I can't find documentation on a per-block basis that talks about what and how data is passed from a block to another and how and what data a block expects to get.

Excellent point and this is on the list for a future release. Not sure when, though, but probalby in the next couple of months.

The Block Inspector Block can help. It's operations are as follows:

Block Inspector Block

  • getOperations
  • getAllowedValues

If it helps I have a cheat sheet listing on my blog with limited details for all offical blocks:

I'm going to try and improve it over time.
