Description

Adds height block support and includes in new Dimensions panel.

How has this been tested?

Theme.json test:
wp-env run phpunit 'phpunit -c /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/gutenberg/phpunit.xml.dist --verbose --filter stylesheet /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/gutenberg/phpunit/class-wp-theme-json-test.php'

Style.js test:
npm run test-unit:watch packages/block-editor/src/hooks/test/style.js

Manual Test Instructions

  1. Checkout this PR and build
  2. Enable custom dimensions support including height, padding and margin - theme.json gist
  3. Enable dimensions block support for Group block - block.json gist
  4. Create a post, add a group block and select it
  5. Ensure dimensions panel appears in the sidebar
  6. Open the dimension panel's more menu and toggle on the height control
  7. Adjust the height can confirm the block's height gets adjusted. Inspect element in dev tools to confirm CSS rule
  8. Save post and view on the frontend. The height style should be applied correctly.
  9. Repeat the process for a dynamic block, ensuring correct styles on the frontend.
  10. Switch to the site editor, open the global styles sidebar and select the By Block Type tab.
  11. Confirm the global styles dimensions panel includes height for the group block and that it works.

Very nice. Love the progressive panel, and the height control doesn't suffer from the same challenge that the width control does.

Possibly add min/max height support alongside this?

This would be a great addition @aaronrobertshaw. I thinking specifically about the cover block mentioned in this issue: #23770 (comment)

I could try to tackle adding it if you haven't already. It would mean adding two new hooks similar to what you've done in the PR I assume for now, in the absence of any designs consolidating width/min-width/max-width and so on...?

I could try to tackle adding it if you haven't already. It would mean adding two new hooks similar to what you've done in the PR I assume for now, in the absence of any designs consolidating width/min-width/max-width and so on...?

I haven't started on min/max heights or widths yet. I was holding off until I got some more traction on the primary height/width block supports.

It would be great if you'd like to pick those up. The sooner they are in place the smoother we can transition the Cover block's ad hoc min-height to use all block support features and unify its spacing and dimensions panels.

Sorry for being late for the conversation. I've noticed that in #32392 we renamed a lot of things from spacing to dimensions. Couldn't look at it deeply yet, but wanted to flag that changing keys in block.json or theme.json is problematic if they already landed in WordPress core.

For example, here we're changing spacing to __experimentalDimensions in block.json. But spacing has already landed in WordPress core, so we need to keep spacing working as before. If we absolutely need to rename it, we can add some code that converts spacing into dimensions. If it's just a name preference, I'd advise to keep using what we have (spacing) and don't make our work harder for this.

At the UI level, it can be labeled differently if we need to and we also can change it as many times as we need.

FYI @jorgefilipecosta @youknowriad

I've gone through a first pass at #32392 I may have found an issue https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/32392/files?file-filters%5B%5D=.js&file-filters%5B%5D=.json&file-filters%5B%5D=.php#r686752790

If we keep the spacing key, I'd suggest we rename the things back to spacing internally, although at the UI level we name them "dimensions".

Thanks @nosolosw, I'd thought of that and thought I'd maintained that backwards compatibility. Happy to change whatever I've messed up. I'm missing where that is though.

For example, here we're changing spacing to __experimentalDimensions in block.json. But spacing has already landed in WordPress core, so we need to keep spacing working as before.

I've actually not changed spacing to __experimentalDimensions in the block.json or theme.json. In the line below this comment you can still see the check for the spacing portion of the overall dimensions themed block support.

My plan was to introduce the new specific dimensions related supports under "dimensions" itself. It didn't make sense to me to have height, width etc under spacing.

Some points about where the separation of dimensions and spacing keys/support occurs are:

  • lib/class-wp-theme-json-gutenberg.php adds dimensions in addition to, rather than replacing spacing
  • lib/theme.json adds the setting for dimensions.customHeight separate to spacing
  • packages/block-editor/src/hooks/dimensions.js checks separate block.json flags for spacing vs __experimentalDimensions support
  • packages/block-editor/src/hooks/style.js dimensions key was added alongside spacing for the inline style generation
  • The padding/margin styles are still under spacing within the block attributes style object
  • The written tests also indicate that the spacing keys were still maintained.

Your comment regarding the key used when registering the block support in dimensions.php was well made and I have a fix for that specifically in #34030.

Is there anything else I have missed? Thanks for your help as always!

Thanks for the quick turnaround, Aaron. I have a second thought about the other PR. I can review this one properly once we clarify whether what I've brought up is an issue or not.

I've replied on the other PR seeking a little clarification on the desired changes. Hopefully, I'll have that fixed up tomorrow. Then will make the required changes here.

There was also some work based on this PR around adding min-height support and using it to unify two "dimensions" panels in the Cover block. It looks like that may also need some further discussion although the hope was to have that sorted before the next release.

Really appreciate your insight on the dimensions/spacing backwards compatibility issue with core. Thanks!

After the release of 5.9, the theme.json php class related changes will be added via a separate isolated commit.
Rename wp_get_global_settings to gutenberg_get_global_settings.

In WordPress 5.9 the wp_* function is already defined,
so we can't override them. It's calling the existing
WP_Theme_JSON classes in WordPress core so it won't pick up
the plugin modification.

In the plugin, to make sure these changes work fine in 5.9
as well, we need to use the gutenberg_* function instead.
While this PR does not do any behavioral change,
we still need to call the plugin clasess when the
minimum plugin version is 5.9 (at which point,
the compat/5.9 is removed).

I've cherry-picked some commits from #38883 to allow the proper extension of theme.json and global styles.

At this time, this PR is working however there has been a recent change of plans around how we might manage the general layout of blocks. This might actually include new layout blocks specifically. It is yet to be seen how appropriate control over height and width will be within this context.

As a result, I will close this PR and the ones related to width support (#32502, #32878)
