This toolkit is for developers who want to create custom block plugins without spending time on build configuration. It provides a pre-configured environment with modern JavaScript tooling, allowing you to focus on writing block logic.

Zero-configuration setup: Get a working development environment with a single command. The toolkit handles React, webpack, Babel, and ESLint configurations behind the scenes.

Single dependency workflow: All build processes are managed through one package. This simplifies updates and maintenance, as you only need to manage a single versioned script.

Development and production scripts: Use npm start for live development with hot reloading and error reporting. Use npm run build to create optimized, production-ready assets.

Eject option: If needed, you can eject to gain full control over the underlying configuration. This is a one-way operation, after which you manage all dependencies yourself.

The generated plugin includes a standard file structure with source files, a main plugin file, and compiled output directories. It is designed to be run from within a local development site's plugins folder.
