From the readme

Block Debug This plugin adds a panel to the WordPress block editor that allows you to inspect and modify the selected block. You can: - Copy the block name - Copy the block client ID - View the block object (from select('core/block-editor').getBlock()) - View the block type object - View the output of useBlockProps() - View and copy the serialized block HTML - View and edit most block attributes (see the "Editing Attributes" section below) Installation You can install the plugin via Composer: Editing Attributes The interface for editing block attributes is generated by passing the block type's attributes schema to react-jsonschema-form. Some attributes might be easier to edit than others, and some attributes might not be editable at all, depending on how well-defined the attributes are in the schema (you can use the "Dump block type" feature in the debug panel to see it). Only attributes with a type of string, number, integer, boolean, object, array, or null are supported; items of type array must also define an items schema. Controlling Access The debug panel is available to users with the viewblockdebug capability, which is mapped to editposts by default. Screenshots A
