This is a demo for block refactoring, following Gutenberg structure. It allows WordPress to handle assets loading automatically.
This PR has multiple issues, due to the packages and webpack versions being a lot older than what Gutenberg currently uses. In particular, we can't update wordpress/scripts higher because of npm version and webpack version.
As a hack, we copy some functions from the scripts package in a specific webpack config file dedicated to those blocks.
We also attempt to make the main webpack config independent of wordpress/scripts, to try help with future packages/webpack updates
Load blocks in PHP using
Blocks\Register::registerFromAssets('foldername');
Run
npm run build:blocks
to build blocks converted to block.json structure.Assets are loaded automatically by WordPress when it detects a block in content.
To test Guestbook locally, run the npm block command, disable the planet4-gutenberg-blocks plugin, use a Guestbook block and check that:
assets/build/blocks/guestbook/index.js
assets/build/blocks/guestbook/viewScripts.js
Cf. documentation for autoloaded scripts
