See [prior exploration](https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/30727). - -## Scaffolding blocks with WP-CLI - -We have a command in WP-CLI that allows to scaffold Jetpack blocks. Its syntax is as follows: - -`wp jetpack scaffold <type> <title> [--slug] [--description] [--keywords]` - -**Currently the only `type` is `block`.** - -### Options - -- **title**: Block name, also used to create the slug. This parameter is required. If it's something like _Logo gallery_, the slug will be `logo-gallery`. It's also used to generate the class name when an external edit component is requested. Following this example, it would be `LogoGalleryEdit`. -- **--slug**: Specific slug to identify the block that overrides the one generated base don the title. -- **--description**: Allows to provide a text description of the block. -- **--keywords**: Provide up to three keywords separated by a comma so users when they search for a block in the editor. - -### Files - -All files will be created in a directory under `extensions/blocks/` named after the block title or a specific given slug. For a hypothetical **Jukebox** block, it will create the following files - -- `extensions/blocks/jukebox/` -- `extensions/blocks/jukebox/jukebox.php` -- `extensions/blocks/jukebox/index.js` -- `extensions/blocks/jukebox/editor.js` -- `extensions/blocks/jukebox/editor.scss` -- `extensions/blocks/jukebox/edit.js` - -Additionally, the slug of the new block will be added to the `beta` array in the file `extensions/index.json`. -Since it's added to the beta array, you need to load the beta blocks as explained above to be able to test this block. - -### Examples - -`wp jetpack scaffold block "Cool Block"` - -`wp jetpack scaffold block "Amazing Rock" --slug="good-music" --description="Rock the best music on your site"` - -`wp jetpack scaffold block "Jukebox" --keywords="music, audio, media"` - -### Can I use Jurassic Ninja to test blocks? - -Yes! Just like any other changes in Jetpack, also blocks work in Jurassic Ninja. - -Simply add branch name to the URL: jurassic.ninja/create/?jetpack-beta&branch=master or use other ninjastic features. - -### How do I merge extensions to Jetpack - -- Jetpack is released once a month, so be sure your team is aware of [upcoming code freezes](https://github.com/Automattic/Jetpack/milestones). -- Make sure you and your team have tested your PR in both the Jetpack environment, and the WordPress.com environment. -- Additionally, your PR will require approval from a Jetpack crew member. -- Once merged, your extension will appear in the next release. - -### How do I merge extensions to WordPress.com? - -- Merge to Jetpack master first. -- Now, merge the auto-generated diff on WordPress.com. -- There's no need to wait on release schedules, in fact it is best if you merge your WordPress.com diff immediately after you've merged to Jetpack master. - -### What if I need to manually create a WordPress.com diff? - -You can build extensions from the Jetpack folder to your local sandbox folder and sync the whole sandbox like you always do: - -```bash -yarn clean-extensions -yarn build-extensions \ - --output-path /PATH_TO_YOUR_SANDBOX/wp-content/mu-plugins/jetpack/_inc/blocks/ \ - --watch -``` - -Alternatively, if you don’t need to touch PHP files, you can build extensions in the Jetpack folder without --output-path and use rsync to push files directly to your sandbox: - -```bash -rsync -az --delete _inc/blocks/ \ - YOUR_WPCOM_SANDBOX:/BLOCKS_PATH_IN_YOUR_SANDBOX/ -``` - -To test extensions for a Simple site in Calypso, sandbox the simple site URL (`example.wordpress.com`). Calypso loads Gutenberg from simple sites’ wp-admin in an iframe. - -## Good to know when developing Gutenberg extensions - -## The Build - -- Compiled extensions are output to `_inc/blocks` -- You can view the various build commands in `package.json` -- You can see the build configuration in `webpack.config.extensions.js` - -If you need to modify the build process, bear in mind that config files are also -synced to WordPress.com via Fusion. Consult with a Jetpack crew member to ensure -you test the new build in both environments. - -## Debugging - -Setting these might be useful for debugging with block editor: - -```php -define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true ); -define( 'GUTENBERG_DEVELOPMENT_MODE', true ); -``` - -You could modify `SCRIPT_DEBUG` from `docker/wordpress/wp-config.php` in your Docker environment and add `GUTENBERG_DEVELOPMENT_MODE` there as well, or in your custom mu-plugins file (`docker/mu-plugins/yourfile.php`). - -[G Debugger](https://wordpress.org/plugins/g-debugger/) plugin might come handy, too. - -### Don't worry about dependencies - -The build takes care of core dependencies for both editor and view scripts. React, Lodash and `@wordpress/*` [dependencies](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/docs/contributors/scripts.md) are externalized and automatically enqueued in PHP for your extension. - -Extensions _always_ get [Gutenberg's polyfill scripts](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/docs/contributors/scripts.md#polyfill-scripts) enqueued so you can safely use methods not supported by older browsers such as IE11. - -### Jetpack plugin sidebar - -Jetpack adds its own [plugin sidebar](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/designers-developers/developers/tutorials/plugin-sidebar-0/plugin-sidebar-1-up-and-running/) to the block editor. You can find it by choosing "Jetpack" from block the editor's ellipsis menu or by pressing the Jetpack icon in the "pinned plugins" toolbar. - -The sidebar itself is always registered in the editor and populated using the [Slot Fill](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/components/src/slot-fill#readme) mechanism. - -Use the `JetpackPluginSidebar` component to render from anywhere in your plugin's code: - -```jsx -import JetpackPluginSidebar from '../../shared/jetpack-plugin-sidebar'; - -<JetpackPluginSidebar> - <PanelBody title={ __( 'My sidebar section', 'jetpack' ) }> - <p>Jetpack is Bestpack!</p> - </PanelBody> -</JetpackPluginSidebar> -``` - -The sidebar won't show up at all if nothing is being rendered in the sidebar's "slot". - -Remember to be mindful of what post types you want to enable your sidebar section for: e.g. posts, pages, custom post types, and re-usable block post type (`/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block`). - -See [Publicize](blocks/publicize/index.js) and [Shortlinks](blocks/shortlinks/index.js) for examples how to limit functionality only to some specific post types or posts. The [Likes](blocks/likes/likes-checkbox.js) & [Sharing](blocks/sharing/sharing-checkbox.js) extensions are a great example of how to [output](shared/jetpack-likes-and-sharing-panel.js) content from several extensions to one sidebar section using "slots". - -### i18n - -As of 04/2019, `wp.i18n` [doesn't support React elements in strings](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9846). You will have to structure your copy so that links and other HTML can be translated separately. - -Not possible: - -```js -__( 'Still confused? Check out <a>documentation</a> for more!' ) -``` - -Possible: - -```jsx -{ __( 'Still confused?' ) } <a>{ __( 'Check out documentation for more!' ) }</a> -``` - -### Colors - -To stay consistent with Gutenberg, your extensions should follow [Gutenberg styles and visuals](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/designers-developers/designers/block-design/). - -Use Gutenberg color variables where possible by importing them in your stylesheet from `extensions/shared/styles/gutenberg-colors.scss`. - -The build pipeline also supports [Muriel colors](https://github.com/Automattic/color-studio) via SASS variables (`$muriel-pink-300`) and CSS custom properties (`var( --muriel-pink-300 )`) without specifically importing them first. Prefer CSS custom properties if possible. - -### Icons - -Please use outline versions of [Material icons](https://material.io/tools/icons/?style=outline) to stay in line with Muriel guidelines. Don't rely on icons used in WordPress core to avoid visual mixing up with core blocks. |
