This package provides a set of command-line scripts for developers creating block-based plugins. It bundles pre-configured tools for common development tasks, reducing setup time and ensuring consistency across projects.

Build and Start: Use the build command to create production-ready bundles and the start command for development with live reloading. Both automatically detect entry points from block.json files.

Code Quality: Includes scripts for linting JavaScript (lint-js), CSS (lint-style), and package.json files (lint-pkg-json), as well as a code formatter (format) to enforce consistent style.

Testing: Offers unit testing (test-unit-js) and end-to-end testing (test-e2e, test-playwright) with Jest and browser automation frameworks, configured for serial execution to avoid conflicts.

Project Maintenance: The check-engines script verifies Node.js and npm versions, while packages-update helps keep WordPress dependencies current. The plugin-zip command creates a distributable package.

Customization: While it works with default settings, you can extend configurations, such as the webpack setup, for specific project needs. The tool aims to minimize breaking changes between updates.
