Summary

Adds ContainerBlock (type: "container") to @slack/types per https://docs.slack.dev/reference/block-kit/blocks/container-block/

• New ContainerBlock interface with all documented properties: title, rich_text_title, subtitle, child_blocks, width, icon, is_collapsible, default_collapsed, has_header_divider
  


• New ContainerBlockChildBlock helper union type for the 11 supported child block types


• Added to the KnownBlock discriminated union


• Type tests covering happy path, sad path, and KnownBlock assignability


• Note: the API rejects has_header_divider: true when is_collapsible: true — documented in JSDoc

Example Bolt test app (app.js)

Register a `/container-block` slash command in your test app and use the text argument to test different property combinations:

- `/container-block` — base (title + child_blocks)
- `/container-block width` — adds `width: "wide"`
- `/container-block mrkdwn-subtitle` — subtitle with `mrkdwn` type
- `/container-block has-header-divider` — adds `has_header_divider: true`
- `/container-block default-collapsed` — adds `is_collapsible` + `default_collapsed`
- `/container-block icon` — adds `icon` image element
- `/container-block rich-text-title` — uses `rich_text_title` instead of `title`
- `/container-block all-collapsible` — all props with collapsible
- `/container-block all-divider` — all props with header divider
- `/container-block all` — all compatible properties together
