Parent

Optional. Type: Array.

Blocks are able to be inserted into blocks that use InnerBlocks as nested content. Setting parent lets a block require that it is only available when nested within the specified blocks.

Context

Context is used to pass values from a block to a descendant block; for example, a query and post template passing the query ID to the inner blocks.

Uses context. Optional. Type: Object.
