🧬 About Block Loader
--------------------

[](#-about-block-loader)

Block Loader loads the Gutenberg Block configuration directly out of the block template file. It parses the file header comment figuring out hwo to register the Block.

Basically instead doing this:

```
acf_register_block_type( [
	'name'              => 'sample-block',
	'title'             => __('Sample Block'),
	'render_template'   => 'blocks/sample-block.php',
] );
```

You can do initialize the loader once:

```
Micropackage\BlockLoader\BlockLoader::init( [
	'dir' => 'blocks',
] );
```

And define the block config directly in the template (`blocks/sample-block.php`):

```
