Query Loop Block: Continued iteration on bundled patterns #49280
Description
We need a query pattern of a grid of featured images as a starting point. We need much more optionality on query patterns in general.
Pulled from #48443 and a follow up to #44140
cc @richtabor in case you have time to work on this.

I'll see what I can do, though last I experimented the blockGap limitation (#44899) was making it difficult to get spacing right in a grid layout.

I'm thinking #49050 might be helpful to move this forward, but it needs a bit of input on how we want the columns behaviour in the grid template to work. The V1 of grid layout only allows setting a minimum column width, not a number of columns, but has the advantage of better responsivity out of the box vs the current solution. Using the grid layout will also allow us to easily add block spacing, which would fix #44899.

Post Template should probably have block gap too, as its children will inherit that parent block's spacing value — not the query loop's.
As long as using grid layout isn't required for block spacing support.

What's the status here? Is there anything actionable remaining?
annezazu commentedon Jun 29, 2023
Yes, we need to incorporate more patterns still! Room for improvement remains.

Noting that another pattern that's needed is one that shows everything: post titles, full post content, tags, categories, author. Adding this pattern would be the fastest way to set up a blog as your homepage.

Is this something we're still considering? If yes, would it make more sense to add directly in core (create a trac ticket)?

There hasn't been active work in quite some time. Let's close it out. We can always reopen as needed.
