block_plugin_view_builder 1.0.6

Breaking changes

• Dropped support for Drupal 8 and 9. This release requires Drupal 10 or 11 (PHP 8.1+).
• Added EntityTypeManagerInterface as a new constructor dependency. If you extend BlockPluginViewBuilder, update your subclass constructor accordingly.

New features

• Context-aware block support. You can now pass explicit contexts to view() and viewPlugin(), enabling rendering of block plugins that require contexts (e.g. a node or user entity). Previously, context-aware blocks could not be rendered through this module.
  
  
  

  use Drupal\Core\Plugin\Context\Context;
  use Drupal\Core\Plugin\Context\EntityContextDefinition;
  
  $build = $blockPluginViewBuilder->view('plugin_id', [], [
      'node' => new Context(new EntityContextDefinition('entity:node'), $node),
  ]);

  Supported context types:

  • Entity contexts (entity:node, entity:user, etc.) — stored as entity type + ID and reloaded safely in the lazy builder.
  • Scalar contexts (string, integer, etc.) — passed through as-is via JSON.

Security

• Removed use of PHP serialize()/unserialize() which was present in a community-contributed context-passing implementation. Context data is now encoded using only JSON with safe scalar identifiers, eliminating the PHP object injection risk.

Bug fixes

• Fixed PHPStan errors related to json_encode() return type, nullable request/route in title block handling, and a redundant null check on BlockPluginInterface::build().
• Title blocks now gracefully fall back to lazy building when the request or route object is unavailable, instead of triggering a type error.
