`initial_value` for `RichTextInputElement` should also accept type `RichTextBlock`
Closed this issue · 0 comments
While using the RichTextInputElement
, I realized through the type information that the type of initial_value
expects to be an optional dictionary. There is seemingly no mention of RichTextBlock
, so I had thought that at that point I would need to go and look at the API and manually create dictionaries to handle this.
This is not true. initial_value
can be set to a RichTextBlock directly, without even needing to convert it to a dictionary. For example, this code works, without me even needing to transform any of these blocks to a dict
:
blocks.InputBlock(
label="Description / Context",
block_id="description",
element=blocks.RichTextInputElement(
action_id="contents",
initial_value=blocks.RichTextBlock(
elements=[
blocks.RichTextSectionElement(
elements=[
blocks.RichTextElementParts.Text(text="Hey, "),
blocks.RichTextElementParts.Text(
text="this", style={"italic": True}
),
blocks.RichTextElementParts.Text(
text="is what you should be looking at. "
),
blocks.RichTextElementParts.Text(
text="Please", style={"bold": True}
),
]
)
],
),
),
)
...but it gives me an error in my IDE from mypy
(rightly, because initial_value
doesn't have RichTextBlock
in its type definition):
Can the initial_value
for RichTextInputElement
include RichTextBlock
? Thanks!
