Add arguments in CMS Block

Question

The project is using the Bluefoot plugin to add the block in cms_index_home. I created a static block in Magento Admin with the follow content:

{{block class="ProductsRegulars\Block\Recommendation\Lists" name="product-recommendation" template="recommendation/list.phtml}}

But in my cms_index_home.xml I have some arguments essentials to block.

<arguments>
 <argument name="jsLayout" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="components" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="recommendation-list" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">ProductsRegulars/js/view/recommendation/list</item>
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="template" xsi:type="string">ProductsRegulars/recommendation/list</item>
 </item>
 <item name="children" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="messages" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="string">0</item>
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/view/messages</item>
 <item name="displayArea" xsi:type="string">messages</item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </argument>
</arguments>

When I run the page, occur the following error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0

I believe that this error occurs because of the Magento not found the arguments.

Try to add your referenceBlock and write it's name . I hope it's work for you

<referenceBlock name="xxx.xxx.xxx">
 <arguments>
 <argument name="jsLayout" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="components" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="recommendation-list" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">ProductsRegulars/js/view/recommendation/list</item>
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="template" xsi:type="string">ProductsRegulars/recommendation/list</item>
 </item>
 <item name="children" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="messages" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="string">0</item>
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/view/messages</item>
 <item name="displayArea" xsi:type="string">messages</item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </argument>
 </arguments> 
</referenceBlock>

I added the referenceBlock in my cms_index_home.xml. I did the test with identifier value and block name but it still did not work.

Static Block enter image description here

cms_index_home.xml

<referenceBlock name="product-recommendation">
 <arguments>
 <argument name="jsLayout" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="components" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="recommendation-list" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">ProductsRegulars/js/view/recommendation/list</item>
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="template" xsi:type="string">ProductsRegulars/recommendation/list</item>
 </item>
 <item name="children" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="messages" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="string">0</item>
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/view/messages</item>
 <item name="displayArea" xsi:type="string">messages</item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </argument>
 </arguments>
 </referenceBlock>
