How to "manually" (programmatically) insert a block in Gutenberg?

Question

Gutenberg's API is quiet obscure and I can't figure how to create and append a block to a post.

I've found the wp.blocks.createBlock('core/paragraph', {content: "blabla"}); which returns a pretty block object, but does not append any content to the post.

I would like to insert a simple paragraph with some custom content just by clicking a button.

Answer 1

var content = "Test content";
var el = wp.element.createElement;
var name = 'core/paragraph';
// var name = 'core/html';
insertedBlock = wp.blocks.createBlock(name, {
    content: content,
});
wp.data.dispatch('core/editor').insertBlocks(insertedBlock);
