# `Block`
```js
import { Block } from 'slate'
```
A block node in a Slate [`Document`](./document.md). Block nodes implement the [`Node`](./node.md) interface.
Block nodes may contain nested block nodes, inline nodes, and text nodes—just like in the DOM. They always contain at least one text node child.

## Properties
```js
Block({
data: Data,
isVoid: Boolean,
key: String,
nodes: Immutable.List<Node>,
type: String
})
```
### `data`
`Immutable.Map`
Arbitrary data associated with the node. Defaults to an empty `Map`.
### `isVoid`
`Boolean`
Whether the node is a "void" node, meaning that it has no child content (eg. images, videos, etc.). Defaults to `false`.
Note that even though a node may be "void", it will still contain a single, empty [`Text`](./text.md) node for consistency across other operations. However, when rendered by Slate that single [`Text`](./text.md) node will not be visible.
### `key`
`String`
A unique identifier for the node.
### `nodes`
`Immutable.List`
A list of child nodes. Defaults to a list with a single text node child.
### `type`
`String`
The custom type of the node (eg. `blockquote` or `list-item`).
## Computed Properties
### `kind`
`String`
An immutable string value of `'block'` for easily separating this node from [`Inline`](./inline.md) or [`Text`](./text.md) nodes.
### `length`
`Number`
The sum of the lengths of all of the descendant [`Text`](./text.md) nodes of this node.
### `text`
`String`
A concatenated string of all of the descendant [`Text`](./text.md) nodes of this node.
## Static Methods
### `Block.create`
`Block.create(properties: Object) => Block`
Create a block from a plain Javascript object of `properties`.
### `Block.createList`
`Block.createList(array: Array) => List`
Create a list of block nodes from a plain Javascript `array`.
## Node Methods
Blocks implement the [`Node`](./node.md) interface. For information about all of the node methods, see the [`Node` reference](./node.md).
