 * I have setup my block which works great. I added the secondary template preview-
   block-name.php.
 * In the editor I do not see this file “preview-” but rather the file “block-“.
   Aside from the different prefix they are named the same.

 * Update.
 * I figured out how to manually make this happen but not sure yet on how to dynamically
   set this.
 * In helpers.php
    function block_lab_template_part Set $type=”preview”; inside 
   the body of the function. That will show the preview in edit but also unfortunately
   show it on the site.
 * There is also a comment in there that reads:
    “$type The type of template to 
   load. Only ‘block’ supported at this stage.”
 * This conflicts with the documentation.
