Editor chat summary: Wednesday, 9 October 2019

This post summarizes the weekly editor chat meeting on Wednesday, 9 October 2019, 14:00 WEST held in Slack.

Weekly Priorities

WordPress 5.3 is planned for next week, there are still some issues we need to fix before then:

Some of the priorities are being worked, but others are not taken yet. If you think you can help with some of these tasks, please leave a comment on the issue!

It is also essential to address some browser issues, namely on IE. People with a windows dev setup could be beneficial here.

We are getting close to the WordPress 5.3 release; testing is essential, namely on the mobile phone you use, given the wide variety of devices that exist.

Task coordination

Note: If you’re reading this summary outside of the meeting, please drop a comment if you can/want to help with something!

@youknowriad

  • Working on the Media Upload errors handling.
  • Working on a fix to the navigation mode.
  • Lots of reviews and coordination.
  • Exploring some improvements to 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. nesting selection with a new Block Breadcrumb.

@get_dave

  • Continues the work on DimensionControl https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16791, and ResponsiveBlockControls https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16790 PRs.
  • Started on the implementation of a potential new Link insert/edit interface as per https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/17557

@gziolo

  • Helped @epiqueras to land the initial version of the Components Storybook.
  • Is focused on some optimizations related to eliminating dead code (mostly for experimental features) from WordPress 5.3 release.

@jorgefilipecosta

  • Worked on some changes to the custom gradient picker. Now, it is possible to move the control points using arrow keys, and the code was reorganized. It should be ready for a more in-depth review; a11yAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) feedback would also be valuable.
  • Focused on some 5.3 must-haves.
  • Helped (reviewed tested, or suggested commits) in navigation block (related PR’s), DimensionControl, ResponsiveBlockControl, and other smaller PR’s.
  • Will continue the work on must-haves, apply a refactor that makes media&text work on IE, and fix some generic block editor issues.

@karmatosed

@brentswisher

  • Hoping to revisit displaying a notice of some kind in the inserter when there are disabled blocks (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/17338).
  • Help out with any 5.3 issues that he can.
  • Will try to help get through some of the new issues, label them, and get additional attention to them if he thinks they are WordPress 5.3 must-haves.

Open floor

@jeffreycarandang asked for an updated to PR https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/17617 and to issue https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/17809.

Regarding PR https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/17617 @youknowriad and @jorgefilipecosta both had some comments on the problem the PR faces. The basic idea is that when a format is applied to a rich text, the focus goes back to the rich text (e.g., when we press a “bold button” it is expected I can continue typing) this behavior was always present. Some time ago, mainly because of accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) reasons, a change was applied to popovers that automatically closes them when the focus is outside. The two previous behaviors together have some impact on formats that are applied in a popover (the popover may close in an unexpected situation). This is a high priority very complex problem, and a solution is being worked.

Regarding issue https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/17809, @youknowriad pointed $wp_version variable as a possible solution and provided a way to make it available in JavaScriptJavaScript JavaScript or JS is an object-oriented computer programming language commonly used to create interactive effects within web browsers. WordPress makes extensive use of JS for a better user experience. While PHP is executed on the server, JS executes within a user’s browser. https://www.javascript.com/..

@welcher asked more detailed feedback on https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16384 which adds a priority mechanism to the Slot&Fill pattern.

@mcsf and @youknowriad shared strong reservations.

It seems that priority and order are very visually focused, in stark contrast with how 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/ has tried to use SlotFill so far.

In Gutenberg, we talk about advanced settings, inspector, etc., instead of the visual element sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme.. Coming back to priority, what does it mean for SlotFill as far as selective rendering goes? how is a sequence determined semantically? etc.Why does this matter? Well, the bridging of different platforms and environments under Gutenberg is an important factor. If a codebase needs to work transparently across Web and Mobile, for example, its semantics needs to be clear and independent of a particular visual expression (e.g. Web on Desktop)

@mcsf

@mkaz had a docs related question:

How do y’ll feel about ES5 support in documentation? Most of the code and package docs are ESNext, but we show ES5 examples first in docs. I don’t have a proposal together yet, but I feel we should move people quicker to ESNext since it is what they most likely will experience everywhere.

People agreed that the default docs should be ESNext but ES5 examples should still be present.

@mikeschroder raised that WordPress 5.3 comes with an update to image uploads: if the server sends a HTTPHTTP HTTP is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

  • Background color for the cover block was merged and release.
  • Regarding the gradient backgrounds, @jorgefilipecosta proposed a PR implementing gradient functionality. @jorgefilipecosta shared that we need to decide if the predefined gradients created by themes should use a class or an inline style. And asked: Is there an expectation that when a theme switch happens, the gradients should change? If you have any thoughts on this subject, please share them!

@mapk Looking into improving the sibling block inserter, helping on widgets work and @retrofox on a UIUI User interface solution for screen height PR.

Components package reorganization and bundle sizes

Agenda | Slack Transcript | Issue

The issue created by @nerrad sparked a conversation on how to control bundle size and offer options to bundle “what you need”:

  • The `wp_enqueue_script` model encourages people to use the whole bundle for a package, not the specific pieces you want.
  • There are concerns over creating too many packages that make discoverability difficult.
  • Overrall, this ties into how to make WordPress play nicely with dynamically loading dependencies as you need them (the SPA model).

To be discussed more in the issue and/or in future coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.-js chats.

e2e test and block deprecations

Agenda | Slack Transcript | Issue

  • @isabel_brison raised the issue that e2e tests fail due to block deprecations triggering a `console.warning`.
  • The restriction have been very valuable when it came to deprecate APIs, as to make sure core wasn no longer using them. It is not that useful in other contexts.
  • There is a draft PR to address the deprecation issue.

Growing list of open PR’s

@youknowriad made a remark saying:

The list of open PRs is growing. That’s great, I’d like to thank you all for your contributions. This also means we’re having some trouble to keep-up with reviews… I’d like to ask everyone creating PRs / working on Gutenberg to help as much as needed with PR reviews (it doesn’t matter if you think you have the required knowledge or not, all reviews are helpful and help move things forward).
So please review PRs as much as you can and again thanks all for your work/help. If you’re hesitant for any reason, my DMs are open, happy to address your uncertainty.

@karmatosed flipped the question and asked if there are any hurdles to people reviewing.

@brentswisher pointed out that his hesitation (maybe shared with other contributors) is a fear of uncertainty about what would happen after something is reviewed and made the following questions:

  • Does it just get merged?
  • Does someone with more experience look at it again before merging?
  • Am I supposed to merge it?

@karmatosed  and @youknowriad answered that since @brentswisher is a member of the GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ Gutenberg team, he can merge a PR after the review or review it anyway but not merge it right away and ask for a second opinion.
Both also mentioned that maybe there is space to iterate the docs and make that more clear.

Open Floor

@paaljoachim is wondering if other have some comments on PR https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16557 (Try: Always collapse block alignments), for @paaljoachim the PR seems a no brainer by placing alignment into a dropdown.

@karmatosed said that she would say “yes” to the PR if discoverable, but her concern is hiding usefulness.
@mapk said he liked it, adding that we have other items that work this way already.
@paaljoachim asked for comments on the previously referred PR and PR https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16682 (“added alignment to the toolbar for consistency”).
@karmatosed said we could add the comments and thanked @paaljoachim for championing these PRs.

@desaiuditd asked for comments on PR https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16244 (“Allow changing Block attributes dynamically in InnerBlocks template”.).
@jorgefilipecosta said:

The idea of the template is to provide a set of blocks that prefill a given InnerBlocks when it is empty.
If I pass a template when a block contains a given set of attributes, and later I pass a template where blocks contain different attributes, nothing should happen because the block is not empty anymore and there is no need to prefill it.

The discussion continued on the reason why sometimes the template updates the blocks. @jorgefilipecosta explained that it only happens when templateLock=all and only for cases where blocks changed positions or were removed/added because for this locking we know the user would not have made these actions.

@chrisvanpatten and @mcsf both pointed to a PR that may bring more control to templateLock https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16678 (Template Locking: read-only / disable editing attributes)

@jorgefilipecosta concluded that for now if there is a need to update the attributes of a child, from the parent, the best solution is the usage of updateBlockAttributes action in the parent, and not use the template mechanism.
