README

Generate ACF Gutenberg blocks just by adding templates to your Sage theme. This package is based heavily on this article by nicoprat.

This is a fork of MWDelaney/sage-acf-wp-blocks which seemed no longer maintained when I needed to include it in my project.

PR welcomed!

Installation

Run the following in your Sage 9-based theme directory:

composer require "orditeck/sage9-acf-wp-blocks"

Creating 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:
--}}

Example block template

{{--
  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
--}}

<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>

Creating ACF fields

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.
