This lesson provides a comprehensive overview of all block asset types in block.json, from essential editorScript to optional viewScript and styling files. You’ll learn that WordPress only needs file paths for asset management, but WP Scripts requires specific naming conventions for seamless integration.
The lesson covers the five asset entries (editorScript, editorStyle, script, style, viewScript), explains how the build pipeline bundles imported files, and clarifies that WordPress loads the built block.json rather than the source version.
Key concepts include understanding entry points, the bundling process, and the distinction between frontend/backend asset loading, providing complete knowledge for implementing all necessary assets in custom blocks.
