ACF Blocks
==========

[](#acf-blocks)

ACF Blocks is a lightweight library that provides a clean, object-oriented API to create and render ACF field groups.

Your WordPress code base doesn't have to be a mess.

**This library is in beta. Use at your own risk. Contributions are welcome.**

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

ACF Blocks introduces the concept of *blocks*, which are essentially Controllers (or actually ViewModels) for field groups and flexible layouts. Fields are created using the excellent [ACF Builder](https://github.com/StoutLogic/acf-builder) library.

The three main benefits of using ACF blocks are:

- Speed up development of simple sites,
- Provide a super simple, but clean architecture for developing more complex sites,
- Allow re-using blocks between projects.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require codelight/acf-blocks dev-master

```

If you're still not using Composer in 2018, then do yourself a **huge** favor and get started now. \[todo: article\]
