Block library for the WordPress editor.
Install the module
npm install @wordpress/block-library --saveThis package assumes that your code will run in an ES2015+ environment. If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for ES2015+ such as IE browsers then using core-js will add polyfills for these methods.
If a view.js file is present in the block's directory, this file will be built along other assets, making it available to load from the browser.
This enables us to, for instance, load this file when the block is present on the page in two ways:
- Using the block's
render_callback:
function render_block_my_block() {
$script_path = __DIR__ . '/my-block/view.js';
if ( file_exists( $script_path ) ) {
wp_enqueue_script(
'wp-block-my-block-view',
plugins_url( 'view.js', $script_path ),
array(),
false,
true
);
}
}
function register_block_my_block() {
register_block_type(
__DIR__ . '/my-block',
array(
'render_callback' => 'render_block_my_block',
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_block_my_block' );- Using the
render_blockfilter:
function render_block_my_block() {
$script_path = __DIR__ . '/my-block/view.js';
if ( file_exists( $script_path ) ) {
wp_enqueue_script(
'wp-block-my-block-view',
plugins_url( 'view.js', $script_path ),
array(),
false,
true
);
}
}
apply_filter( 'render_block', 'render_block_my_block' );Function to register core blocks provided by the block editor.
