15. This is well
structured JSON

16. This is
Gutenberg
I bet this data looks
AMAZING
right?

17. NO

18. Hi Roy
But what about the data via REST API?
It must be an array of data, right?

19. nope

20. DB data

21. And thus
You can’t build apps with Gutenberg
Because the data is not structured and
we need to be 100% backwards compatible.

23. So, what now?
Hold onto your socks, I’m about to go full geek.

24. This is the mighty comeback
I know you feel defeated after I just led you on

ready?

25. Gutenberg Object Plugin
Shameless plug in.
github.com/royboy789/gutenberg-object-plugin/

26. http://bit.ly/hiGutes

28. RESTability is key
Add Gutenberg data
to regular API
endpoint return
/wp/v2/posts
/wp/v2/posts/:id
/wp/v2/pages
/wp/v2/pages/:id
Allows you to get
only the Gutenberg
data
/gutes-db/v1/:id
/wp/v2/posts/:id/blocks
/wp/v2/posts/:id/block/:bid
/wp/v2/pages/:id/blocks
/wp/v2/pages/:id/block/:bid

29. PHP
Returns an array of the blocks and data
get_editor_blocks( $post_id );
