Last time we explored the way the block editor interacts with the database. In the same way that the WP REST API gives you all the foundational work for handling data, the WordPress Components package is your starting point for building out your user interface.
Whether you’re building custom settings screens for your plugin, or just building custom blocks that need some input fields, you don’t want to spend time making your own visual components when you can just use the same ones provided by WordPress code. Form inputs, dropdowns, modals, cards, accordions, color pickers, and much much more.
In this video we’ll explore the component and icon libraries that make building your UI a breeze. The bonus is that whatever you build will look and feel just like native WordPress instead of the confusing and mismatched approach you see now with a lot of plugins.
If you have any questions, add them in the YouTube comments. And feel free to share this video- and hopefully this whole series- with anyone you think would want it.
