I used to do a lot of custom WordPress development in php, but recently a major shift has been required to allow for the custom development of Gutenberg Blocks. I’ll share how to build and test a plugin locally that creates custom Gutenberg Blocks using React and Node, compiling it down to upload to a site for use. Sections of the workshop would/could include: Setting up/using a local wordpress installation, installing node and using a boilerplate install to get started with developing blocks. Styling blocks in the editor and the front end. Adding attributes/editable fields. Using APIs to call data from wordpress such as posts/taxonomies etc.
