Cloud Blocks
Gutenberg Cloud: Your online library of blocks! Cloud Blocks is the only plugin you need to browse and install new blocks:
- Discover and install custom blocks with a click
- Install only the blocks you need – no huge plugin collections needed
- Reuse blocks between WordPress and Drupal
- Serve the blocks from a CDN
Why use Gutenberg Cloud?
Installing an actual plugin for each block or block collection easily leads to managing lots of code that you don’t really need. It’s like having one app for each website you visit, instead of just installing a web browser. With the block manager, you have a growing library at your fingertips, without the bloat.
Getting started
- Install the plugin
- Click the new cloud icon in the main menu
- Browse around and click a block to see description, version and bigger screenshot
- Activate a few blocks. Voila – these are now available to you in the Gutenberg editor!
How it works under the hood
Gutenberg Cloud is a service that fetches Open Source Gutenberg blocks hosted on NPM. The assets from these are served from CloudFlare using jsdelivr.com. The Cloud Blocks plugin provides an interface in WordPress for Gutenberg Cloud.
Code once, use everywhere: Since the blocks are JS/CSS only, they are CMS agnostic. This means you can develop a block for a Drupal site, and reuse it later on a WordPress blog.
