class BlockPageVariant in Drupal 10

Provides a page display variant that decorates the main content with blocks.

To ensure essential information is displayed, each essential part of a page has a corresponding block plugin interface, so that BlockPageVariant can automatically provide a fallback in case no block for each of these interfaces is placed.

Plugin annotation

@PageDisplayVariant(
  id = "block_page",
  admin_label = @Translation("Page with blocks")
)
