With Gutenberg update, WordPress users will increasingly look for the development of custom blocks to meet their unique needs.
Advanced Custom Blocks reduces the development burden of building custom blocks through simple and WordPress Admin and easy to learn templating system..
Activate Advanced Custom Blocks plugin through 'Plugins WordPress...
Although the plugin handles the majority of the in building custom block, you will need to build HTML templates to display the content of the block.
Export all the resulting code for all or some of the blocks created with this plugin, so the blocks can be inserted in theme or plugin for new website without the need to recreate everything for each site, and without having to resort to export import.
In other words generate the php, js, etc code just like ACF does, so plugin and theme developers can utilize the blocks within their products easily..
If shortcodes are going away, and we are stuck with the disaster, this would be great help to somewhat convert the shortcodes to blocks.
If Automattic had any concerns not to alienate developers like me, and make Gutenberg's adoption more acceptable, they should had included tool to convert all the existing shortcodes to blocks, or at the very leasy documentation for people.
I hope that this plugin will fill that gap and find way to help out the developers.
