Native meta fields in block editor & connect data using Blocks Bindings API

The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring people together of all skill levels, from beginners to WordPress professionals. WordPress Helsinki is purely organised by community volunteers, and operates under the WordPress code of conduct.

This month, we welcome Sami Keijonen to talk about native meta fields in the block editor, the Block Bindings API, and the Interactivity API.

Many digital agencies use the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin to handle custom meta fields in WordPress. In this meetup, we will showcase how to work with custom meta fields data in the block editor, and how to connect meta fields data using Block Bindings API.

If time allows let's also showcase Interactivity API.

See you there!
