Human Made Gutenberg Tools

[!WARNING]
This project is no longer actively developed. It is recommended that you the components from our Block Editor Components library instead.

A place to bundle useful reusable Gutenberg components and other tools.

What does this include?

• Post Select button. Provides a media modal like user experience for selecting single or multiple posts. It supports searching, filtering, sorting and custom post types (and taxonomies). stying to work better in the sidebar.
• More Sidebar controls. Other components wrapped up in as standardised sidebar control components.
  • Link control. A wrapper for the core UrlInput, but with some style improvements.
  • Image. Sidebar UI for selecting an image.
  • Post. A wrapper for the post select button component.

Installation Instructions

It is reccomended to install as a plugin or mu-plugin using composer.

composer require humanmade/hm-gutenberg-tools

If you install using another method (e.g. git submodule), note that the main branch does not include built assets, but tagged releases and the build branch do include them. You should not need to build the assets for this plugin as part of your project build process.

Bundling in a theme

You can bundle the plugin in a theme (or anywhere outside of plugins/mu-plugins directories). In order to do this you need to define HM_GB_TOOLS_DIR and HM_GB_TOOLS_URL. For example

define( 'HM_GB_TOOLS_DIR', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/lib/hm-gutenberg-tools' );
define( 'HM_GB_TOOLS_URL', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/lib/hm-gutenberg-tools' );

Using components from HM Gutenberg Tools

You should specify the script hm-gb-tools-editor as a dependency of the script in which you are using it.

wp_enqueue_script( 'my-custom-block', plugins_url( 'my-custom-block.js', dirname(__FILE__) ), [ 'hm-gb-tools-editor' ], '1.0' );

HM Gutenberg Tools then exposes all functionality globally as window.hm. You can then use reference this in your project in much the the same way that you would use any other components from Gutenberg.

const { PostSelectButton } = window.hm.components;

function Edit( { attributes, setAttributes } ) {
    return (
        <PostSelectButton
            value={ attributes.postIds }
            onSelect={ posts => setAttributes( { postIds: posts.map( p => p.id ) } ) }
            postType="page"
            btnProps={ { isLarge: true } }
        >
    );
}

Refer to the Wiki for usage instructions on individual components
