Set Gutenberg block variable from template

We have a small plugin that adds templates to the page post-type and every template needs to have a Gutenberg block called hero. The hero block has an attribute called hero-type, which can be “Story”, “Primary”, “Secondary” and “Tertiary”.

Some templates however require a specific hero-type. For example, the news-overview needs to have the “Secondary”. How do we go on about doing this?

We have done this for our post-types, where we have added for example the “Story” hero-type to the “Story” post-type.

Here is the code how we created the templates:

<?php

function website_theme_templates($post_templates, $obj, $post, $post_type) {
	$CUSTOM_TEMPLATES = [
		'page' => [
			'home' => 'Home page',
      'contact' => 'Contact',
      'news-overview' => 'Overview: News',
      'story-overview' => 'Overview: Story'
		]
	];
	return array_merge($post_templates, isset($CUSTOM_TEMPLATES[$post_type]) ? $CUSTOM_TEMPLATES[$post_type] : []);
}

add_filter( 'theme_templates', 'website_theme_templates', 4, 10 );
