This is the second year for the Block Developer Cookbook workshop at WordCamp Asia. Last year in Taipei, we covered a lot of topics like block transforms, adding editorial notes, creating a custom format, and more.

This year in addition to the existing recipes from last year, we have new ones to choose from that leverage the newest features released in WordPress 6.7 such as the Block Bindings API, the plugin template registration API, Preview Options API, and more.

In this completely interactive workshop, attendees will vote on which recipes to work on and we’ll go over them together

Recipes include:

• New! Creating a block variation that is bound to the post excerpt
• New! Registering a custom post type that provides it’s own template
• New! Creating a Dark/Light mode toggle that saves to user meta
• Updated! Creating a gallery slider with the Interactivity API
• Using filters and the HTML Tag Processor to extend the core blocks.
• Creating a custom Image block style
• Adding a fade-in effect to core blocks
• Restricting publishing based on word count
• Customizing your @wordpress/scripts build process.
• Connecting your block to custom fields
• Front end JavaScript for your blocks.
• Use the data layer in a block.
• Creating a custom format

• and more …
