I need to do a bit more work on back compat here and make sure getPreferences has any migrated preferences merged into it.

Would we then deprecate getPreference?

Once everything is migrated I think it can be deprecated, yep 😄

Looking good. I agree with this approach as opposed to the alternative you described. I think that:
Fix the tests and I'll review properly 😀 |

I've added tests for all the other preferences to bring some confidence that the changes to getPreferences and getPreference were correct. Plus they'll help when I come to migrate the other preferences.

Agree with that, I immediately went looking for it. 😄 It does mean a selector that doesn't really do much other than get something from the preferences store, but that's probably ok. This is also going to set the pattern for every other editor that adds the block manager, which is the only other thing that concerns me. |

I believe I've addressed all the feedback. Registry selectors are a little tricky to test, so I've mostly tested them within the action tests. I think it's enough coverage |

I think the descriptions for the selector and two actions are a little too descriptive of the implementation. A plugin author probably doesn't care how it's implemented, just what happens when e.g. hideBlockTypes is dispatched, i.e. the block is hidden from the inserters.

Description
This PR is the next in a series of PRs migrating our editor preferences to use the new preferences package.
It tackles the
hiddenBlockTypesstate in the post editor that's used to drive the block manager, and should enable the block manager to be used within other editors (if we can figure out a nice way to migrate the component).While #39115 handles all the boolean 'feature' preferences that are easy to migrate, the
hiddenBlockTypesstate has its own reducer, so I think it makes sense to have a separate PR to give this more scrutiny.There are probably a few different ways to do this, but I've chosen to keep the code roughly equivalent, basically moving the
hiddenBlockTypereducer logic into the actions.An alternative I considered
An alternative could be to have an individual preference in the preferences store for each block and use a compound key, something like:
This would simplify the actions, but where there's a need to get the full list of hidden block types, that becomes harder. The selector would need to filter the preferences down to only those with the 'hiddenBlockTypes' prefix. That might be performance intensive, given selectors are generally called more often than actions.
