Adapting to Gutenberg could be challenging for PHP developers who have minimal knowledge of JavaScript and React. It’s a paradigm shift and to re-learn how to do what we did with PHP in JavaScript can be overwhelming. In this talk, I will discuss how a php developer, with minimal js knowledge, can build blocks quickly.
How can the php developers survive the amount of technologies to be learnt for Gutenberg? Can creating a custom block be as easy as running a couple of simple commands?
You will know about my personal experiences that helped me build blocks quickly and allowed my clients to migrate to WordPress site, with the power of Gutenberg. ServerSideRender component can simplify creating the editor representation for dynamic blocks. My talk will show how the wp-cli and dynamic blocks can help anyone who wants to create reusable blocks quickly with minimal JavaScript.
Conclusion:
My talk will leave you with a clear understanding of how you can dive into block development quickly without knowing much JavaScript, then expand your knowledge further into the areas of our need.
