Programmatically creating a repeater block.

[bishopdz]

Hello, my development team is using Genesis Custom Blocks to programmatically create blocks that are stored and reused in our git repo. I am trying to code a repeater block but I am stuck because I have not been able to find any examples of this. Here is what I have tried that seems syntactically correct.

1:
<?php

use function Genesis\CustomBlocks\add_block;

function add_fees_block() {

// One long array with lots defined.
add_block(
'fees',
array(
'title' => 'Fees Block',
'category' => 'common',
'icon' => 'account_circle',
'fields' => array(
'repeater' => array(
'name' => 'repeater',
'label' => 'Repeater',
'control' => 'repeater',
'type' => 'text',
),
),
),
);
}
add_action( 'genesis_custom_blocks_add_blocks', 'add_fees_block');

2:
<?php

use function Genesis\CustomBlocks\add_block;

function add_fees_block() {

// One long array with lots defined.
add_block(
'fees',
array(
'title' => 'Fees Block',
'category' => 'common',
'icon' => 'account_circle',
'fields' => array(
'repeater' => array(
'name' => 'repeater',
'label' => 'Repeater',
'control' => 'repeater',
'field' => 'text',
),
),
),
);
}
add_action( 'genesis_custom_blocks_add_blocks', 'add_fees_block');

function add_fees_block() {

// One long array with lots defined.
add_block(
'fees',
array(
'title' => 'Fees Block',
'category' => 'common',
'icon' => 'account_circle',
'fields' => array(
'repeat' => array(
'name' => 'repeat',
'label' => 'Repeater',
'control' => 'repeater',
'fields' => array(

'text' => array(
'name' => 'text',
'label' => 'Text',
'control' => 'text',
),
),
),
),
),
);
}
add_action( 'genesis_custom_blocks_add_blocks', 'add_fees_block');

I am unsure if it is even possible but it would help us a lot.
Thank you for your time.
