WordPress contributors have proposed a new Interactivity API for Frontend Blocks, which would allow developers to create more interactive experiences within the WordPress platform. The proposal was made by two core contributors, Weston Ruter and Felix Arntz, who are part of the Gutenberg team.
The Interactivity API is designed to make it easier for developers to add interactivity into their blocks without having to write complex JavaScript code. It will provide an interface that allows developers to define how different elements in a block should respond when interacted with by users. This could include things like changing colors or displaying additional information when clicked on or hovered over.
The idea behind this proposal is that it would make creating interactive blocks much simpler and faster than before, as well as making them more accessible and user-friendly. Additionally, it could help reduce the amount of time needed for development since there wouldn’t be any need for writing custom JavaScript code each time a new block needs interactivity added into it.
In order to implement this feature, the team has proposed using React Hooks as they believe this will provide an easy way for developers to access data from outside sources such as APIs or databases without needing extra coding knowledge or experience in working with those technologies directly. They also plan on providing documentation so that anyone can get started quickly and easily with building their own interactive blocks using the Interactivity API.
Overall, if implemented successfully this new Interactivity API could prove very beneficial both for experienced WordPress developers looking to save time on projects but also those just starting out who may not yet have extensive coding knowledge but still want to create engaging content through interactive blocks within WordPress sites they manage or develop themselves.
