SGDS Block Templates
Reusable UI blocks that slot into any page layout. Each block is a self-contained section — drop it into a page template from sgds-pattern-page-templates to assemble complete pages without writing layout code from scratch.
What is a block?
A block is a chunk of UI that:
- Has a single, focused responsibility (filter content, display a stat, show a form section)
- Works standalone inside any container
- Can appear multiple times on a page or alongside other blocks
The Application Shell is a special mandatory block — it is the page chrome (<sgds-masthead>, <sgds-mainnav>, <sgds-footer>) that every SGDS page must include. All other blocks are content blocks that slot inside the shell.
Blocks are the ingredients. Page templates are the recipes.
