Checking Out Block Editor’s Data Module Selector/Dispatcher’s Methods via Console

I’ve been involved on Block Editor (Gutenberg) related project lately and one of the trick that I found useful the most is the fact that Block Editor’s data modules are exposed and accessible via browser console.

let’s say you want to checkout what selectors are available for core/block-editor data module. You can open browser console then type wp.data.select('core/block-editor'):

List of selectors available for core/block-editor data module

If you execute any of them, it’ll return actual data of current editor state:

You can do the same with dispatcher. If you’re looking for what methods available on core/block-editor, you open browser and type wp.data.dispatch('core/block-editor').

Hello Again, World

It’s been a while since I posted here. The blog had quite some content when I created it but then I abandoned it for years. How do i know i abandoned it for years:

  1. Obviously from the last published post (last post was published at 2015.. 2015 is 4 years ago LOL)
  2. I got tons of update notifications on the dashboard
  3. I can’t even update this site to WordPress 5.2 😅

Regarding no. 3, If I recall correctly, i created the site using Digital Ocean’s one click installer which created droplet using pre-configured stack. Two important stack of them was:

  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • PHP 5.5.9

The fun thing is WordPress 5.2+ can only be installed if you have PHP 5.6. 😂

I’ve been trying to bump the PHP version on this Digital Ocean droplet but it kept failing miserably; Then this struck me: the site’s content is quite out of date. The posted article was relevant back then, but i don’t think how relevant it is for me right now. Couple of freebies i posted was relevant back then but then i stopped maintaining it and they’re no longer up to date. On top of that, manually managing droplet is annoying; I prefer the slightly more expensive but guaranteed to run stack using Cloudways.

Hence, let’s start new beginning. I figure i want to share and write more about stuffs I learned. I did it and it was fun, but several years back i couldn’t manage myself to do so. Thus, Let’s start over. I’m ditching the entire snapshot, spin new project + server + app at Cloudways because i don’t want to deal with managing the server, and start blogging again. 

I made my blog at fikrirasyid.com well crafted with fancy custom design and super long content. Let’s share more technical and raw stuffs here. 

Welcome aboard!
