Getting blocks from matrix and injecting them throughout a page, NOT a single loop statement

Question

I have a matrix field that allows the user to add little 'designed' features throughout the page. These are placed in certain positions on the page and so I want to loop through these but because they are dotted about he page, I cannot do a simple, for loop.

Instead I could get all the blocks like this:

  {% set nuggets = entry.nuggets
    .with([
    'nugget:nuggetBody',
    'nugget:icon'
  ])
    .all() %}

Then I could place them like so:

{% set nugget = nuggets[0] %}
{% include '_includes/_components/nugget.twig' with {
  self: {
    size:'xl',
    bgColor: nugget.circleColour.color[0].class,
    iconPath:nugget.icon[0].path,
    body: nugget.nuggetBody[0].bodyPlain
  }
} %}


{% set nugget = nuggets[1] %}
{% include '_includes/_components/nugget.twig' with {
  self: {
    size:'xl',
    bgColor: nugget.circleColour.color[0].class,
    iconPath:nugget.icon[0].path,
    body: nugget.nuggetBody[0].bodyPlain
  }
} %}

etc etc

I wondered if there is a better or more streamlined way than this? And what happens if they don't have 'enough' blocks, how to accomodate, if for example, I have placed 6 around the page in the design and code, but they only add 4. I know I could do this...

{% if nuggets|length >= 3 %}
  {% set nugget = nuggets[2] %}
  {% include '_includes/_components/nugget.twig' with {
    self: {
      size:'xl',
      bgColor: nugget.circleColour.color[0].class,
      iconPath:nugget.icon[0].path,
      body: nugget.nuggetBody[0].bodyPlain
    }
  } %}
{% endif %}
etc

But is there a better approach...?

Answer 1

There is a better approach by which you can change positions from the admin panel. You need to create a matrix where there will be different blocks types, and display them in a loop.

{% for block in entry.matrixField.all() %}
   {% switch block.type %}
      {% case 'one' %}
          {{ block.content }}
      {% case 'two' %}
          {{ block.content }}
   {% endswitch %}
{% endfor %}
