Exploring Different Kinds of Gutenberg Blocks
Continuing where they left off (part 1 is here: • Digging into ACF Blocks for the Block... ) , Aurooba and Brian recap their experience with ACF Blocks. Next, they look at two different ways to create native WordPress blocks: using nested inner blocks and using React components. They discuss the pros and cons of all three methods, how to plan your blocks, and when to just use block patterns.
