How to get the First Paragraph from BlockContent

Hi, Is it possible to get the first paragraph (or so) from a BlockContent? Would it be a query? or a custom serializer? Trying to create a “preview” section for blog posts. Thanks

block content is an array of rich text elements (and custom types), so you can get the first 3 or so blocks

i did something similar by splicing the array on my frontend

you could also create your own element that acts as a stopping point for the preview and just render until that specific element, showing instead a [read more] button or whatever 😄

we are using typescript so will try the query solution first, see if I can pull back just the first block

ooh good idea on a breaking element! Would look nice in the CMS

thanks ! beautiful solution!
