In this session, I will explore how to create a custom Gutenberg block from scratch using the official WordPress Block Editor tutorial—without using create-block. The session will guide attendees through setting up a custom plugin, using React inside Gutenberg, and connecting the block with a third-party API like JSON Placeholder to fetch and display dynamic data.
I’ll cover folder structure, JavaScript logic, data fetching using fetch(), and how to dynamically render content in the WordPress editor. This session will help participants build real-time, API-powered blocks for WordPress websites—perfect for developers looking to level up their Gutenberg skills.
