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

useBlockProps

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.

PHP Callback

Register custom PHP callback functions for advanced customization and reusable code patterns.

Choose your output method based on:

  • Development workflow
  • Code complexity
  • Team expertise
  • Maintenance requirements
