wp-scripts

This package provides a set of command-line scripts that automate common development tasks for block editor plugins. It bundles webpack, ESLint, Prettier, Jest, and other tools with sensible default configurations, so you can focus on writing code instead of configuring tooling.

• Build and start scripts: Compile JavaScript and CSS for production or development, with automatic rebuild and hot reload support for faster iteration.
• Linting and formatting: Enforce coding standards for JavaScript, CSS, Markdown, and package.json using integrated linters and formatters.
• Unit and E2E testing: Run unit tests with Jest and end-to-end tests with Puppeteer or Playwright, with built-in debugging capabilities.
• Plugin zip creation: Generate a deploy-ready zip file of your plugin with a single command, customizable root folder.
• Block manifest generation: Compile block metadata from block.json files into a single PHP file to improve performance when registering multiple block types.
