Build Mode Workshops are live events exploring features of modern WordPress with the WP Engine Developer Relations team. This workshop was hosted by Damon Cook and took place on November 15th, 2022.
In this recent workshop we covered:
- Setting up a simple WordPress plugin and scaffolding a custom block with @wordpress/create-block
- Dependency management in a custom block
- Registering and writing an accordion block
- Light styling with theming in mind
Here is the video recording. 👇
