Shopify Nested Block schema - schema

Question

I'm wondering if nested block on shopify schema is possible. I search on it but I can't find an answer. Please help me out if anyone knows how to do it.
Here's my schema
"blocks": [
{
"type": "block_main",
"name": "Block Main",
"settings": [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "block-name",
"label": "Quote"
},
{
"type": "url",
"id": "block-link",
"label": "URL"
}
],
"blocks": [
{
"type": "sub_block",
"name": "Sub Block",
"settings": [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "sub-block-name",
"label": "Quote"
},
{
"type": "url",
"id": "sub-block-link",
"label": "URL"
}
]
}
]
}
]

Answer 1

No it's not possible. ( sadly )
You will have to use a different logic in order to create nested blocks.
For example you can use a link_list field and use the text and URL from the links to populate the information you are looking.

Answer 2

Do this way (This is for example)
{
"name": "FAQs",
"settings": [
{
"id": "dev-faq-title",
"type": "text",
"label": "FAQ Title",
"default": "Frequently Asked Questions"
}
],
"blocks":[
{
"type": "block-1",
"name": "Block 1",
"settings": [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "title",
"label": "Title"
},
{
"type": "text",
"id": "accordion-title",
"label": "Accordion Title"
}
]
},
{
"type": "block-2",
"name": "Block 2",
"settings": [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "title",
"label": "Title"
}
]
},
{
"type": "block-3",
"name": "Block 3",
"settings": [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "title",
"label": "Title"
}
]
}
],
"presets": [
{
"category": "Text",
"name": "Top Bar"
}
]
}

I think this is nothing but just a way to represent data communication.
To do this I always create a associative array then convert it into JSON. Look this sample PHP code
//Make associative array
$data = array("blocks" => array("type" => "block_main", "name": "Block Main","settings" => array("0" => array("type" => "text", "id": "block-name", "label": "Quote"), [1] => array(type": "url", "id": "block-link", "label": "URL")), "blocks": "type": "sub_block", "name": "Sub Block", "settings": array("0" => array("type": "text", "id": "sub-block-name", "label": "Quote"), "1" => array(type": "url", id": "sub-block-link", "label": "URL"))))
//encode array to json
$json = json_decode($data)
And the same would be happening on server side, When we send Post request. It would also render the nested JSON request to associative array then react on the data.
