Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/
- The best way to follow along with media related Gutenberg items is the media label in GitHub.
- Repository milestones
- Add mediaelement component – @antpb discussed that this is currently a blocker A bug which is so severe that it blocks a release. to building the Playlist Block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.. The component renders on the editor view and is enqueuing via client-assets.php but the script is not enqueuing on the front end. @antpb needs help figuring out the front end issue. Steps to creating a clone of the repo can be found at this comment.
- Add block playlist: Currently blocked by the inclusion of the mediaelement component.
