EffectIO MB Blocks 1.7.6

Description:

MB Blocks is a Meta Box extension for creating custom Gutenberg blocks with PHP. Since WordPress 5.0, the block editor has been the default editor, and developers often need custom blocks for specific pieces of content. Normally that requires React with JavaScript tooling such as Webpack and Babel. MB Blocks removes that step, so you create blocks in pure PHP with a syntax similar to the one used for custom meta boxes.

It is aimed at WordPress developers who know PHP better than JavaScript. Meta Box users only need to learn a few settings, which takes no longer than 10 minutes. You can build complex blocks with various block settings and inherit settings and field types from Meta Box, which offers more than 40 field types, so you can focus on block logic and presentation.

Blocks built with the extension keep full Gutenberg features. Block settings can be edited with a real-time preview, and the block is re-rendered immediately when a field value changes. You can also run custom JavaScript for dynamic behaviour, such as instantiating a slider. Block alignment, custom CSS class and custom anchor are supported. Developers who prefer not to code can build blocks visually with the MB Builder extension.

The vendor’s own page for MB Blocks has the full details.
