useBlockDelete

Returns a function that deletes blocks of any kind (paragraphs, widgets, and other annotations) by id, one or several at once as a single undo step.

const deleteBlocks = useBlockDelete()

deleteBlocks(blockIds)

• Every id must identify an existing block, or the call throws InvalidInputError and deletes nothing; with no document loaded, it throws DocumentNotLoadedError.
• A deleted block is not necessarily gone forever: an undo can restore it.
• Deleting a widget doesn't erase its stored field value (see Working with forms).

To delete whatever the user selected instead of specific ids, see useDeleteSelection.
