Add easy access to current block data object about field-plugin HOT 3 OPEN

@mrsunshine got it. Thanks for the clarification and thanks for providing this code snippet, which can be useful for others looking at this issue in the future 🙂 We will create an internal ticket to discuss about this, but I cannot tell any ETA, and whether or not we will ship this, though. Thanks for your contribution 💙

@eunjae-lee yes. All informations are there but difficult to access.
Imagine you have field A and your field type plugin in the same block. Inside your field type plugin you want to use the value of the field A. Currently you have to use plugin.data.blockUid to recursively search through data.story.content to find the block object with blockUid.
For easy use it would be helpfull to have either:

1. the block object where the field type plugin on the root level plugin.data.block
2. or a helper function which returns a block object by UUID

something like this:

...
const blockUid: string = plugin?.data?.blockUid || ''
const contentObj: Object | undefined = data?.story?.content;
const myBlock = searchBlock(contentObj, blockUid);

const searchBlock = (obj: Block, uid: string): Block | null => {
  if (obj._uid === uid) {
    return obj;
  }

  // Check nested objects and arrays
  for (let key of Object.keys(obj)) {
    const value = obj[key];
    if (Array.isArray(value)) {
      for (let item of value) {
        let result = searchBlock(item, uid);
        if (result) {
          return result;
        }
      }
    } else if (typeof value === 'object' && value !== null) {
      let result = searchBlock(value, uid);
      if (result) {
        return result;
      }
    }
  }

  return null; // Return null if the block is not found
}

Hi @mrsunshine thanks for reaching out to us. If I understand this correctly, do you want a field plugin to be able to access other fields in the current story via blockUid?
