# Block Tunes

Similar with [Tools](tools.md) represented Blocks, you can create Block Tunes and connect it to particular Tool or for all Tools.

Block Tunes allows you to set any additional options to Blocks. For example, with corresponded Block Tunes you can mark Block as «spoiler», give it an anchor, set a background, and so on.

## Base structure

Tune's class should have the `isTune` property (static getter) set to `true`.

Block Tune must implement the `render()` method which returns an HTML Element that will be appended to the Block Settings panel.

- `render()` — create a button

Also, you can provide optional methods

- `wrap()` — wraps Block content with own HTML elements
- `save()` — save Tunes state on Editor's save

At the constructor of Tune's class exemplar you will receive an object with following parameters:

| Parameter | Description |
| --------- | ----------- |
| api  | Editor's [API](api.md) obejct |
| settings | Configuration of Block Tool Tune is connected to (might be useful in some cases) |
| block | [Block API](api.md#block-api) methods for block Tune is connected to |
| data | Saved Tune data |
