ViewScriptModule: 6.5 compatibility changes #58832

sirreal · 2024-02-08T12:05:42Z

What?

viewScriptModule block.json field support has landed in Core 6.5 (WordPress/wordpress-develop#5860 / https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/57565).

Move viewScriptModule support in Gutenberg to 6.5 compatibility.

viewModule support and the view_module_ids REST API field are maintained in Gutenberg regardless of the WordPress version.

Testing Instructions

Test with latest WordPress 6.4.3 and WordPress trunk. Try these steps with viewModule, viewScriptModule and both.

Add a block using block.json with a (viewModule, viewScriptModule, both) field pointing to its view module. I've compiled a block (with #57461) that's available at this gist. It can be unzipped as a plugin and used for testing.

We should be able to add our block in the editor. If we use the REST API to query block types and search for view_module_ids and view_script_module_ids we should find our block:

(await wp.apiFetch( { path: '/wp/v2/block-types' }))
  .filter( ({ view_module_ids }) => view_module_ids.length )
  .map(blockType => ({
    name: blockType.name,
    view_module_ids: blockType.view_module_ids,
    view_script_module_ids: blockType.view_script_module_ids,
  }))[0]
// { "name": "jon/the-block", "view_module_ids": [ "jon-the-block-view-module" ], "view_script_module_ids": [ "jon-the-block-view-module" ] }

If the block is added to a post and we visit it on the frontend, we should see it working as expected (a counter in our example).

We should also see the expected modules added to the importmap and module preloads on our post with the block. I used an older theme to ensure nothing else was enqueuing the interactivity module:

document.querySelector('[type=importmap]');
// <script type="importmap">{"imports":{"@wordpress\/interactivity":"…"}}</script>
document.querySelector('#\\@wordpress\\/interactivity[rel=modulepreload]');
// <link rel="modulepreload" href="…" id="@wordpress/interactivity">

lib/experimental/script-modules.php

-	if ( empty( $module_asset_path ) ) {
-		_doing_it_wrong(
-			__FUNCTION__,
-			sprintf(
-				// This string is from WordPress Core. See `register_block_script_handle`.
-				// Translators: This is a translation from WordPress Core (default). No need to translate.
-				__( 'The asset file (%1$s) for the "%2$s" defined in "%3$s" block definition is missing.', 'default' ),
-				$module_asset_raw_path,
-				$field_name,
-				$metadata['name']
-			),
-			'6.5.0'
-		);
-		return false;
-	}


In WordPress trunk we no longer require the asset file to be present.

lib/experimental/script-modules.php

 	$module_fields = array(
 		// @todo remove viewModule support in Gutenberg >= 17.8 (replaced by viewScriptModule).
-		'viewModule'       => 'view_script_module_ids',
-		'viewScriptModule' => 'view_script_module_ids',
+		'viewModule' => 'view_script_module_ids',


This handles the deprecated viewModule field. Core >= 6.5 handles viewScriptModule.

lib/experimental/script-modules.php

-	register_rest_field(
-		'block-type',
-		'view_script_module_ids',
-		array(
-			'get_callback' => function ( $item ) {
-				$block_type = WP_Block_Type_Registry::get_instance()->get_registered( $item['name'] );
-				if ( isset( $block_type->view_script_module_ids ) ) {
-					return $block_type->view_script_module_ids;
-				}
-				return array();
-			},
-		)
-	);


This is moved to trunk or the compat file.
