Creating Block Varitions from core/groups

Recently we had a Block Variation which needed to be switched from core/columns to core/group. Should have been easy enough, but the identity of the variation, its name and icon, would never show up. No matter what, the variation's isActive method was not even being called.

The problem

It turns out that the various layouts available to the core/group Group Block are all Block Variations. Each has it's own isActive function, which simply checks the Block's layout.type attribute and sometimes it's layout.orientation.

The problem is that all of the isActive functions for each of the Block's variations are run in order until one returns true, at which point WordPress stops checking. This is documented in the very last paragraph of the Block Editor Handbook's [V

How to run phpcs on WordPress-Develop files without installing PHP

I've been running all my dev projects via Docker to avoid the pitfalls of installing server software on my computer. This also lets me jump between macheines very easily since everything I need is wrapped up in dockerfiles, docker-compose files or package.json scripts.

WordPress development doesn't work like that. The default development environment expects PHP to be installed and will try to run PHPCS validation checks from a local instance of PHP.

Use Composer's Docker image

The official Composer Docker image is extremely versatile. It can run arbitrary shell commands if the passed argument isn't a Composer keyword.

WordPress v6.3.1 inlines styles for used blocks via the wp_head hook. However there is an additional wrinkle. If the SCRIPT_DEBUG constant is set and truthy, then a minimized copy of the styles will be inlined. The minimized copy is pre-generated and included with WordPress.

Code for choosing to use the min variant is in wp-includes/blocks.php:

// Check whether styles should have a ".min" suffix or not.
$suffix = SCRIPT_DEBUG ? '' : '.min';
if ( $is_core_block ) {
    $style_path = ( 'editorStyle' === $field_name ) ? "editor{$suffix}.css" : "style{$suffix}.css";
}
