<p>Use the function <code>add_fast_block</code> to add a block to your theme in PHP. The Plugin automatically creates an interface for your block inside the editor.<br />
Unlike the default block behaviour all blocks are rendered dynamically. This means changes inside the template are shown immediately without resaving the post or page.</p>
<h3>Example Usage</h3>
<p>Register your block:</p>
<pre><code>$options = [
  'name'      => 'some-slug/block-name',
  // template from theme-directory
  'template'  => '/blocks/test.php',
  'settings'  => [
    // same settings as the original "wp.registerBlockType" without attributes.
    'title'   => 'Plugin Block',
  ],
  'fields'    => [
    // define attributes and inputs/labels etc. that are needed.
    'headline'  => [
      'label'    => 'My Label',
      'type'     => 'string',
      'input'      => 'text',
      'default'  => 'default string',
      'width' => 0.5, // optional for all fields except repeater
      // optional selector: useful fallback if dynamic rendering does not work. Also good for WP SEO PLugins.
      'selector' => 'h2',
    ],
    'text'  => [
      'label'    => 'Some Text',
      'type'     => 'string',
      'input'      => 'richText',
      'default'  => 'default string',
    ],
    'image'   => [
      'label'   => 'Label for the Upload Button',
      'type'    => 'object',
      'input'   => 'image',
      'default' => [
        'url'   => 'image.jpeg',
        'alt'   => 'Alternative Text',
        'sizes' => []
      ]
    ],
    'bgColor' => [
      'label'   => 'Background',
      'type'    => 'string',
      'default' => 'light',
      'input'     => 'select',
      'options' => [
        ['label' => 'light', 'value' => 'light'],
        ['label' => 'dark', 'value' => 'dark'],
      ]
    ],
    'someBool' => [
      // ...
      'type'    => 'boolean',
      'input'   => 'checkbox',
    ],
    'someArray' => [
      // ...
      'type' => 'array',
      'default' => [],
      'input' => 'repeater',
      'query' => [
        'subField1' => [
          'type' => 'string',
          'input' => 'text',
          'default' => 'default list item',
        ],
        'subField2' => [
          'type' => 'boolean',
          'input' => 'checkbox',
          'default' => true,
        ],
      ]
    ]
  ]
];

add_fast_block( $options );
</code></pre>
<p>Available inputs: <code>text</code>, <code>richText</code>, <code>checkbox</code>, <code>toggle</code>, <code>select</code>, <code>image</code>, <code>url</code>, <code>email</code>, <code>date</code>.<br />
At the moment default values are mandatory.</p>
<p>Example usage inside template:</p>
<pre><code><div>
  <h2><?php $block->field('headline'); ?></h2>
  <img src="<?php echo $block->field_value('image')['url']; ?>">
</div>
</code></pre>
<p>For <code>$block->field</code> function sanitizing is done with <code>wp_kses_post</code>. If you need more complex sanitizing, use <code>$block->field_value</code>, sanitize on your own and <code>echo</code> the value afterwards.</p>

<p>Want to create a column-based layout with easily customizable column-width and positions? Or perhaps you want to align your content to a global layout grid across your post. With this Layout Grid block you can do both or either. There are also options to provide specific layouts to mobile or tablet breakpoints. Pick a number of columns (1-4), then go ahead and resize and position each column as you want them to look, for any screen. Optionally apply background colours and paddings to add emphasis.</p>

Layout Grid Block

Started using this block layout on a WordPress.com site as it was just there by default, then when I realised it wasn't available on my WordPress sites, I had to go get it. Very handy layout...

Very handy layout

Already working really well. It's clean and solid and intuitive. I'm working with it with the Kadence theme and it's excellent. Hope to see this in Gutenberg core soon!

Works really well


The is a more flexible replacement for the standard columns block. If you've ever battled with the standard columns to make multi-column components that adapted at mobile, tablet and desktop then I would definitely recommend this block.

Great block that allows placing and resizing blocks in a more flexible way than the regular columns block. I hope it is continually supported.


Great block!

A Gutenberg container block to let you align items consistently across a global grid.
