What’s new in Gutenberg 17.6? (31 January)

“What’s new in GutenbergGutenberg 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/…” posts (labeled with the #gutenberg-new tag) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in each release. As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Site Editor project (formerly called Full Site Editing).


Gutenberg 17.6 has been released and is available for download!

This release, which includes 264 pull requests (that’s a lot of work!), can be labeled mainly as a ‘code quality’ one, as it includes two important refactors in both Fonts and Interactivity APIs.

It also includes some improvements in the new “Data Views” experiment, blockBlock 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. hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same. improvements, and finally, a feature that all developers have been waiting for: the ability to extend allowed blocks within a parent block.

New Block JSONJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. allowed Blocks 

Until now, there has been no way to filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. the allowed blocks in an inner block area. This means that developers could not specify which blocks could be inside a parent block without editing the parent block’s edit file. Imagine you’ve just created an amazing icon block to include in the navigation block; now, you can whitelist it using a filter.

addFilter( 'blocks.registerBlockType', 'my-great-icon-block', ( settings, name ) => {
  if ( name === 'core/navigation ) {
    return {
      ...settings,
      allowedBlocks: [ ...settings.allowedBlocks ?? [], 'my-great-icon-block' ],
    }
  }
  return settings;
} );

Site Editor – Post Editor unification.

Several smaller edit actions are available in the post editor but not the site editor. The misalignment means users sometimes need to hop between editors, which can be frustrating. This Gutenberg version includes all page edit features in both editors.

Also, the Interactivity APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. and the Fonts Library API have received a big refactor. These APIs are getting close to the 6.5 release, so it’s a great time to test them.

Other Notable Highlights

New Interactivity API directives

The Interactivity API now includes several new directives that will be incredibly helpful when creating interactive blocks.

  • data-wp-on-window and data-wp-on-document to handle global events like scroll, keypress, load, ready, etc.
  • data-wp-each to render lists.
  • data-wp-run to execute custom logic while rendering an element with directives. 

Footnotes available for custom post types

Footnotes are available for all post types that

  • Are public and appear in the REST APIREST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”) https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/..
  • Supports all of the following: editor, custom fields, and revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision..
