Block Code & Assets
Every block needs code to display its content on the frontend and in the editor. Lazy Blocks provides multiple methods to handle block output, plus the ability to add custom styles and scripts, giving you complete control over your block's appearance and functionality.
Available Methods
HTML + Handlebars
Use HTML with Handlebars syntax for simple static content. Great for frontend developers who prefer template-based approaches.
PHP
Write PHP code directly in the block builder. Best for dynamic content and complex logic with WordPress integration.
Theme Template
Create template files in your theme. Perfect for version control and team development workflows.
Block Assets
Styles & Scripts
Add custom CSS and JavaScript to your blocks. Control styling and add interactive functionality directly in the block builder interface using the block.css and view.js tabs.
Relationships
Create interconnected blocks that share context data and enforce hierarchical rules. Perfect for building complex block systems like API dashboards, form sections, and data-driven interfaces.
Block Components

Essential component for applying WordPress block wrapper attributes and ensuring proper block functionality.
Inner Blocks
Create nested block areas where users can add and manage other blocks inside your custom block.
