HTML to Gutenberg Converter
Convert HTML string to valid, editable WordPress Gutenberg blocks in seconds instead of hours. With this script, you can create & build valid Gutenberg blocks that have editable text, inline and background images, as well as SVGs.
Installation
Install html-to-gutenberg with npm:
npm install html-to-gutenberg
Usage/Examples
// block-generator.js
import block from 'html-to-gutenberg';
const htmlString = '<div>My content</div>';
{
await block(htmlString, {
name: 'My Block',
prefix: 'gut',
category: 'common',
});
}
Provided a valid html string with the required options, the block function will create a new folder containing the WordPress block with the specified configuration. All you have to do after running the script is enter the directory where the files were created, install the required modules, and compile the block in webpack by running those two commands in the command line:
cd my_block
npm install && npm run build
The output will be a file called block.build.js
, that can be enqueued by the PHP function in WordPress. That function is automatically generated, so you don't have to worry about it. To install the block and its assets, simply zip the package and upload as a plugin to your WordPress website.
