enqueue_block_assets action
Got a custom block and need to enqueue its styles and scripts? The enqueue_block_assets action is your go-to! Just make sure to hook into it before wp_enqueue_scripts. It’s super handy for developers like us who prefer creating custom plugins to avoid breaking themes during updates.
Here’s a quick rundown: first, register the action using add_action. You can drop this code into your theme’s functions.php or, better yet, in a custom plugin. Below, you’ll find live examples of how to use this action effectively.
Live Example 1: Enqueue Block Styles and Scripts
Want to enqueue specific styles and scripts for your blocks? This example shows you how.
function weplugins_enqueue_block_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'testimonial', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/template-parts/blocks/testimonial/testimonial.css' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'testimonial', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/template-parts/blocks/testimonial/testimonial.js' );
}
add_action( 'enqueue_block_assets', 'weplugins_enqueue_block_styles' );
Live Example 2: Basic Hook Execution
Just need to execute some code when the enqueue_block_assets action fires? Here’s a simple example.
function weplugins_execute_on_enqueue_block_assets_event(){
// Your custom code goes here.
}
// Add the action
add_action( "enqueue_block_assets", "weplugins_execute_on_enqueue_block_assets_event");
Live Example 3: Removing a Registered Hook
If you need to remove a previously registered hook, use the example below. Just make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.
remove_action( "enqueue_block_assets", "weplugins_execute_on_enqueue_block_assets_event");
