According to the documentation the WordPress function register_block_type supports a variant to blocks.json, where instead you supply two arguments: a string with the block name, and an $args array with the rest of the arguments. When registering an ACF Gutenberg block within a class I need to define the render callback as a method of the class. The $args way of registering a block seems ideal because I could then pass a class scoped render function.
However, this doesn’t work. The block gets registered in the backend but doesn’t appear in the Gutenberg frontend.
A simple example is:
class Block {
public function render() {
echo "Block rendered!!";
}
public function register_block() {
register_block_type( "my-blocks/text", [
"name" => "my-blocks/text",
"title" => "Text",
"category" => "layout",
"icon" => "editor-alignleft",
"apiVersion" => 2,
"acf" => [
"mode" => "preview",
"renderCallback" => [ $this, "render" ],
]
] );
}
public function __construct() {
add_action( 'init', [ $this, 'register_block' ] );
}
}
Does ACF 6 only support registering blocks by using an actual block.json file?
(currently using ACF Pro, v6.1.4)
