WooCommerce Blocks

Latest Tag View JavaScript and CSS Linting PHP Coding Standards Unit Tests E2E Tests

This is the feature plugin for WooCommerce + the Gutenberg. This plugin serves as a space to iterate and explore new Blocks and updates to existing blocks for WooCommerce, and how WooCommerce might work with the block editor.

Use this plugin if you want access to the bleeding edge of available blocks for WooCommerce. However, stable blocks are bundled into WooCommerce, and can be added from the "WooCommerce" section in the block inserter.

Installing the plugin version

We release a new version of WooCommerce Blocks onto WordPress.org every few weeks, which can be used as an easier way to preview the features.

Note: The plugin follows a policy of supporting the "L0" strategy for version support. What this means is that the plugin will require the most recent version of WordPress. It will also require the most recent version of WooCommerce core at the time of a release. You can read more about this policy here.

1.Ensure you have the latest available versions of WordPress and WooCommerce installed on your site. 2. The plugin version is available on WordPress.org. Download the plugin version here. 3. Activate the plugin.

  2. Get a copy of this plugin using the green "Clone or download" button on the right.
  3. Make sure you're using Node.js v16.15. If you use a Node version management tool such as nvm or n, you can do so by running nvm use or n auto, respectively.
  4. npm install to install the dependencies.
  5. composer install to install core dependencies.
  6. To compile the code, run any of the following commands
    1. npm run build (production build).
