Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Use the function add_fast_block to add a block to your theme in PHP. The Plugin automatically creates an interface for your block inside the editor.

Unlike the default block behaviour all blocks are rendered dynamically. This means changes inside the template are shown immediately without resaving the post or page.

Example Usage

Register your block:

registerBlockType" without attributes. 'title' => 'Plugin Block', ], 'fields' => [ // define attributes and inputs/labels etc. that are needed.

5, // optional for all fields except repeater // optional selector: useful fallback if dynamic rendering does not work. Also good for WP SEO PLugins. jpeg', 'alt' => 'Alternative Text', 'sizes' => [] ] ], 'bgColor' => [ 'label' => 'Background', 'type' => 'string', 'default' => 'light', 'input' => 'select', 'options' => [ ['label' => 'light', 'value' => 'light'], ['label' => 'dark', 'value' => 'dark'], ] ], 'someBool' => [ //...

'type' => 'boolean', 'input' => 'checkbox', ], 'someArray' => [ //... 'type' => 'array', 'default' => [], 'input' => 'repeater', 'query' => [ 'subField1' => [ 'type' => 'string', 'input' => 'text', 'default' => 'default list item', ], 'subField2' => [ 'type' => 'boolean', 'input' => 'checkbox', 'default' => true, ], ] ] ] ];

add_fast_block( $options );

Available inputs: text, richText, checkbox, toggle, select, image, url, email, date.

At the moment default values are mandatory.

Example usage inside template:

>"> </div>

For $block->field function sanitizing is done with wp_kses_post. If you need more complex sanitizing, use $block->field_value, sanitize on your own and echo the value afterwards.
