Blocks

A named group of fields that can also nest other blocks; the schema sets its labels and fields.

A block is a named group of fields that also lets you nest other blocks under it. The available fields and labels are set by the block schema. A block kind may also be namespace-qualified (wdoc::process { ... }).

wcl
// One label -> name = "web".
service "web" {
  port   = 8080u32
  region = "us-east-1"
}

Multiple labels work the same way — declare an @inline for each position you want to expose:

wcl
// Two labels -> verb = "GET", path = "/users".
route "GET" "/users" {
  handler = "list_users"
}

§ 1Nested blocks

Blocks can hold further blocks. Nesting depth is unbounded; structure is constrained by the schema (@child for one, @children for many).

wcl
service "web" {
  metadata {
    region = "us-east-1"
    tags {
      environment = "prod"
    }
  }
}
