Possibility to filter the editor settings #7400

[dannydehaan]

Description

For local development, you don't want Gutenberg to save a post every 10 seconds. So I've wrapped an apply_filters around $editor_settings in /lib/client-assets.php. See: #7400

How has this been tested?

Checked in local environment with:

add_filter( 'editor_settings', function( $editor_settings ) {
    $editor_settings['autosaveInterval'] = 3600;
} );

In the file /lib/client-assets.php, I var_dumped the $editor_settings to see if the outcome was 3600.

Types of changes

It adds a filter around the $editor_settings var in /lib/client-assets.php

Per #7400 (comment), I'm not quite sure it makes sense to make the entirety of $editor_settings filterable. This seems like a large hammer for a smaller, nuanced issue.

It's already possible to update the editor settings by doing:

wp.data.dispatch('core/editor').updateEditorSettings( editorSettingsObject )
