Block Debug
===========

[](#block-debug)

This plugin adds a panel to the WordPress block editor that allows you to inspect and modify the selected block. You can:

- Copy the block name
- Copy the block client ID
- View the block object (from `select('core/block-editor').getBlock()`)
- View the block type object
- View the output of `useBlockProps()`
- View and copy the serialized block HTML
- View and edit most block attributes (see the "Editing Attributes" section below)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the plugin via Composer:

```
composer require alleyinteractive/wp-block-debug
```

Editing Attributes
------------------

[](#editing-attributes)

The interface for editing block attributes is generated by passing the block type's `attributes` schema to [`react-jsonschema-form`](https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form). Some attributes might be easier to edit than others, and some attributes might not be editable at all, depending on how well-defined the attributes are in the schema (you can use the "Dump block type" feature in the debug panel to see it).

Only attributes with a type of `string`, `number`, `integer`, `boolean`, `object`, `array`, or `null` are supported; items of type `array` must also define an `items` schema.

Controlling Access
------------------

[](#controlling-access)

The debug panel is available to users with the `view_block_debug` capability, which is mapped to `edit_posts` by default.
