serialize_block() WordPress Function
The serialize_block() function is used to serialize a block and return it as a string. This is useful for creating blocks that can be saved and reused.
serialize_block( array $block ) #
Returns the content of a block, including comment delimiters, serializing all attributes from the given parsed block.
Description
This should be used when preparing a block to be saved to post content. Prefer render_block when preparing a block for display. Unlike render_block, this does not evaluate a block’s render_callback, and will instead preserve the markup as parsed.
Parameters
- $block
(array)(Required)A representative array of a single parsed block object. See WP_Block_Parser_Block.
Return
(string) String of rendered HTML.
