Configuration ( @wordpress/scripts )

• This plugin uses @wordpress/scripts which installs and sets up webpack and babel config out of the box
• The @wordpress/scripts is installed in the root of the project. This is one single plugin that registers many blocks.
• By default @wordpress/package uses src/index.js as entry point and build/index.js
• However we have also created custom scripts by overriding the defaults.
• Example npm run build:dynamic-block will use the dynamic-block/assets/js/block.js as entry point and output it to dynamic-block/build/main.js
• Each directory like dynamic-block register their own block. Only the bundling happens from the root.

What is included in this plugin ?

• The plugin uses ReactJS & ESNext for creating custom gutenberg block, along with PHP's OOP concept
• It uses Webpack to bundle all of its dependencies into one file index.js
• Has separate stylesheet for front-end & editor.

Blocks Description :clipboard:

1. custom-category Creates a custom catageory GW Custom Blocks and registers a block under the same category.

2. dynamic-block Creates a dynamic block Latest Posts, that renders content as saved from the edit function in editor. The content that is returned by render_callback() is displayed on the front end. Here the editor content and front content can be different if you return different content from edit() in block.js and render_callback() in php file.

3. dynamic-block-ssr Creates a dynamic block and returns the same content both in editor and front end, what is returned by render_callback(), using <ServerSideRender>. The data that you pass in attributes of<ServerSideRender attributes={{ name: 'Imran' }}> will be available in render_callback( $attributes ) in php. You must define its type in the register_block_type()
