Composer library for generating ACF Gutenberg blocks from templates. Intended for use with Roots/Sage (http://roots.io)
License:
Languages: PHP
Generate ACF Gutenberg blocks just by adding templates to your Sage theme. This package is based heavily on this article by nicoprat.
Run the following in your Sage (v9 or 10) based theme directory:
composer require "mwdelaney/sage-acf-gutenberg-blocks"
Add blade templates to views/blocks
which get and use ACF data. Each template requires a comment block with some data in it:
{{--
Title:
Description:
Category:
Icon:
Keywords:
Mode:
Align:
PostTypes:
SupportsAlign:
SupportsMode:
SupportsMultiple:
EnqueueStyle:
EnqueueScript:
EnqueueAssets:
--}}
{{--
Title: Testimonial
Description: Customer testimonial
Category: formatting
Icon: admin-comments
Keywords: testimonial quote
Mode: edit
Align: left
PostTypes: page post
SupportsAlign: left right
SupportsMode: false
SupportsMultiple: false
EnqueueStyle: styles/style.css
EnqueueScript: scripts/script.js
EnqueueAssets: path/to/asset
--}}
<blockquote data-{{ $block['id'] }} class="{{ $block['classes'] }}">
<p>{{ get_field('testimonial') }}</p>
<cite>
<span>{{ get_field('author') }}</span>
</cite>
</blockquote>
<style type="text/css">
[data-{{$block['id']}}] {
background: {{ get_field('background_color') }};
color: {{ get_field('text_color') }};
}
</style>
The options in the file header map to options in the acf_register_block_type
function.

Once a block is created you'll be able to assign ACF fields to it using the standard Custom Fields interface in WordPress. We recommend using sage-advanced-custom-fields to keep your ACF fields in version control with Sage.
Block data can be altered via the 'sage/blocks/[block-name]/data' filter. For example, if your block template is called my-block.blade.php
, you can alter the data this way:
add_filter('sage/blocks/my-block/data', function ($block) { // Do your thing here. });
By default all your template files in views/blocks
will be loaded. You can use the templates filter to add more folders if you wish. See an example below of how to add your own folders.
add_filter('sage-acf-gutenberg-blocks-templates', function ($folders) {
$folders[] = 'views/your-folder'; // Adds your folder
return $folders;
});
