Edit config and site cleanup – Volto Hands-On

Edit config and site cleanup

Edit config and site cleanup#

site cleanup#

Before we want to add our first Volto Block we want to get rid of most of all the blocks from the Volto default frontpage. You can delete those blocks in edit mode by using the trashcan symbol. You will notice that you will be able to delete all blocks except the title block. That is because it is set as "required" in the Volto default configuration. To change this you will have to amend this.

Hint

Make sure you save your page after deleting all Blocks and before editing the config

Making the Title block deletable#

The config will be located inside the index.js file in your policy addons src directory. Inside you will find the following code:

const applyConfig = (config) => {

  return config;
};

export default applyConfig;

To enable removing the title block you only need to add the following line to override the original requiredBlocks array inside the applyConfig function:

const applyConfig = (config) => {
  config.blocks.requiredBlocks = [];

  return config;
};

export default applyConfig;

Hint

You can find all default configurations in your omelette/src/config/.
