Proposal for Core Blocks in the Directory #58773

Open mtias opened 8 months ago

mtias commented 8 months ago

There's a growing subset of blocks that we may contemplate creating that are either more niche or—for various reasons—not necessarily an immediate fit for the bundled library in core. [Some examples.] This would include blocks that have enough appeal, demand, and where offering an endorsed implementation can significantly help both creators and viewers given best practices can be ascertained.

I propose we look at a mechanism where such blocks can be designed, developed, published, and maintained by core contributors in this repository (benefits from collocation and testing infrastructure) but for them to be published as standalone blocks in the directory instead of bundled in the default library. These blocks would show up as authored by [WordPress.org]. It'd allow themes and patterns in the directory to leverage them with certainty.

Can we add the back to top link to the list? https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/50433

There is no open issue for it, but users seems to be interested in a style variation toggle for the front aka "dark mode" toggle block. This was mentioned multiple times in the post for Twenty Twenty-Five.

In the interest of keeping this issue about block distribution and development processes (such as canonical block plugins), I've created a separate tracking issue for new blocks. To scope the effort, it's focused on blocks that help expand theme and pattern designs: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/63501

Please continue with any block specific discussion over in that issue 🙏
