+ServerSideRender
+=======
+
+ServerSideRender component is used for server-side rendering preview in Gutenberg editor, specifically for dynamic blocks. Server-side rendering in a block's `edit` function should be limited for blocks which are heavily dependent on (existing) PHP rendering logic that is heavily intertwined with data, such as when there are no endpoints available.
+
+New blocks should be built in conjunction with any necessary REST API endpoints so that JavaScript can be used for rendering client-side in the `edit` function for the best user experience, instead of relying on using the PHP `render_callback`. The logic necessary for rendering should be included in the endpoint so that both the client-side JS and server-side PHP logic should require a mininal amount of differences.
+
+## Usage
+
+Render core/archives preview.
+```jsx
+	<ServerSideRender
+		block="core/archives"
+		attributes={ this.props.attributes }
+	/>
+```
+
+## Output
+
+Output is using the `render_callback` set when defining the block. For example if `block="core/archives"` as in the example then the output will match `render_callback` output of that block.
+
+## API Endpoint
+API endpoint for getting the output for ServerSideRender is `/gutenberg/v1/block-renderer/:block`. It accepts any params which are used as `attributes` for the block's `render_callback` method.
