Methods

  • __construct— Constructor.
  • get_attributes— Get all available block attributes including possible layout attribute from Columns block.
  • is_dynamic— Returns true if the block type is dynamic, or false otherwise. A dynamic block is one which defers its rendering to occur on-demand at runtime.
  • prepare_attributes_for_render— Validates attributes against the current block schema, populating defaulted and missing values.
  • render— Renders the block type output for given attributes.
  • set_props— Sets block type properties.
