# Shorthand.Optimizely.AllowedParents

Attributes and services to stop blocks from being created anywhere. Built for

Optimizely 12 but could possibly be adapted to earlier versions quite easily.

## Installation

```sh

> dotnet add package Shorthand.Optimizely.AllowedParents

```

## Usage

Add the service interceptor in your `Startup.cs` file like this.

```csharp

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {

    services.AddAllowedParents();

}

```

Then annotate your blocks like this.

```csharp

[ContentType(

    DisplayName = "Container block",

    Description = "Container that is the only place where SpecificBlock should be used.",

    GUID = "03d80863-d9d0-46b2-90a5-a90cc5bc6fd7")]

public class ContainerBlock : BlockData {

    [Display(

        Name = "Container",

        Description = "Container for specific blocks.",

        GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,

        Order = 1)]

    [AllowedTypes(typeof(SpecificBlock))]

    public virtual ContentArea? Container { get; set; }

}

[SiteContentType(

    DisplayName = "Speific block",

    Description = "A specific block that only makes sense within a container block.",

    GUID = "

5f731183-dbf2-4c29-94c0-ed9ddb9de2c2")]

[AllowedParents(typeof(ContainerBlock))]

public class SellingPointBlock : BlockData {

    ...

}

```

Or if you have a block that should never be created except by code.

```csharp

[ContentType(

    DisplayName = "Footer block",

    GUID = "183eccc7-1e21-4501-a0cf-ba38f6828908")]

[AllowNoParents]

public class FooterBlock : BlockData {

    ...

}

```
