Plugin Description
An experimental plugin to preview and insert block patterns in the Block Editor (Gutenberg). It’s not advised for use on production websites.
Please note that no block patterns are included. Patterns must be provided by your theme or another plugin. You can also use the patterns provided by WordPress if enabled by your theme.
Furthermore, this plugin should be used in conjunction with Gutenberg until WordPress 5.9 is officially released.
Mission
The Block Pattern Explorer is heavily influenced by the work currently being done in the Gutenberg GitHub repository on pattern previews.
The purpose of this project is to isolate the pattern explorer into a standalone plugin that WordPress users/developers can interact with immediately, provide feedback on, and begin implementing into their own websites. Ideally, this initiative will also help inform the direction of core development. If you have feedback or encounter a bug, please submit a support ticket.
Once the pattern explorer is integrated into WordPress proper, this project will be sunsetted in favor of the core offering.
Experimental Features
- Patterns can be displayed in either a grid or singular layout
- Preview patterns with different viewports (Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile)
- More to come…
