Requirements

PHP >= 8.1
Acorn >= 4.2

Installation

Install via Composer:

$ composer require roots/acorn-fse-helper

Getting Started

Once installed, begin by initializing full-site editing in your theme using Acorn's CLI:

$ wp acorn fse:init

Initializing ensures your current activated theme supports block-templates as well as provides you with the option to publish initial stubs to get started with.

Usage

Once initialized, any block templates located in templates/ will be given priority over existing Blade views.

Blade Directives

To assist with hybrid theme development, Acorn FSE Helper includes a few useful Blade directives out of the box for working with blocks inside of views.

`@blocks`

The @blocks directive allows you to render raw block markup inside of a view using do_blocks():

@blocks
  <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
  <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
@endblocks

`@blockpart`

The @blockpart directive provides a convenient way to render block template parts inside of your views using block_template_part():

@blockpart('header')

To render multiple template parts at once, you may pass an array in the order you wish them to be rendered in:

@blockpart(['header', 'footer'])

Vite Asset Integration

Acorn FSE Helper can automatically inject Vite assets (CSS and JavaScript) into the <head> of your FSE theme.

To enable this feature:

Publish the configuration file:

$ wp acorn vendor:publish --tag=fse-config

Enable Vite asset injection in config/fse.php:
```
'vite_enabled' => true,
```

By default, it includes:

resources/css/app.css
resources/js/app.js

You can customize the entry points using the acorn/fse/vite_entrypoints filter:

add_filter('acorn/fse/vite_entrypoints', function ($entryPoints) {
    return [
        'resources/css/app.css',
        'resources/css/editor.css',
        'resources/js/app.js',
        'resources/js/custom.js',
    ];
});
