This is a treasure for me. Two months ago I was looking for some tutorials about lazy blocks. Found some very old and not very detailed, so quit this idea. This week I really needed tutorials because I really need to create some custom blocks in my project. I was again very skeptical about finding some tutorials and what a surprise - I found your videos. I can see that they are new and there was no this videos when I searched for the first time. Thank you so much, they are great for me, so I subscribed, smashed like button and a ring bell. I hope you will make more videos about lazy blocks, both easy and advanced...more advanced)) Just once again - thank you so much!

Glad to hear you liked it! I wasn't sure if Lazyblocks was too advanced for my audience. Do you have any suggestions for future lazyblocks tutorials, or or topics I should cover next?

@@BuildThatWebsite If for block topic - super interesting in Range controls and how and where to save the result of user. Password control and how we can create blocks with this control, just form entry or password protected content? Theme template - super interesting too. For big guide super interesting chain - theme template + custom block + acf, of smaller - custom block + acf the same with custom post types. . I just started to learn this magic with lazy blocks, so maybe for me everything is interesting)

Custom GB blocks are really useful, but setting them up manually it's harder than it should. I mean, do you really need React to setup a basic block?? I was creating custom blocks with ACF but it felt a bit weird, having to setup the block in PHP, creating the fields in the backend and then getting back to PHP to create the template. I've came across Lazy Blocks before, but the name is a bit misleading, it doesn't sound that powerful. Well, after watching both your videos I can tell you I'm going give it a try and probably switch to Lazy Blocks for all my custom blocks. Two questions: 1. Do you think this plugin will keep up with Gutenberg constant evolution? I'm a bit worried about investing lots of time building custom blocks in Lazy Blocks, only to find out I have to rebuild them all in a year or so because something changed in Gutenberg. 2. I'm guessing it would be possible to include custom JS the same way you added custom CSS, conditionally enqueueing JS files with PHP. Have you tried it? How would you do it? Thanks for the great videos!!

I agree with you about ACF Pro. They missed an opportunity to grow an audience beyond just devs. Coding in PHP shouldn't be a requirement. The only other tool that comes close to Lazyblocks in ease-of-use (PHP not required) is Genesis Custom Blocks Pro. Unfortunately, that's a $360/yr plugin. That's a dealbreaker for me. 1. I do have concerns about making Lazyblocks the cornerstone of a website, especially if you have plans to scale to 7-figures and beyond. The developer has been considering a pro version for a while now, and it looks like it is going to happen. I really hope that Pro ADDS features, rather than stealing functionality from the free plugin. We'll see. That said, it's perfectly useable for me in its current form, so I'm happy to use it for custom in-content components. If I really HAD to, I could replace it with something else down the road, and only burn a day or two. That said, if I was already grandfathered in on the ACF Pro lifetime license, I would probably use that instead. My PHP skills are good enough at this point. I still may switch down the road. I'm waiting for ACF Pro 6.0, which is coming with a whole new method of block registration. I also think we'll start to see better tools for building standalone Gutenberg blocks, without knowing react and PHP. Imagine if Lazyblocks Pro would let you export a standalone block, rather than just a lazyblock .json file. 2. You can definitely use the same method to enqueue JavaScript. I haven't tested it, but it should work identically.

@@BuildThatWebsite thanks for the feedback. I've been testing Lazy Blocks for the past few hours and I'm really digging it, and already found a way to load JS dynamically. This is a great improvement over most block libraries, that come with dozens of useless blocks and load a lot of unnecessary CSS and JS. From what I was able to figure out so far, the main advantages of Lazy Blocks over ACF is that it allows you to render different results in the frontend and backend and also let you add separate content and inspector controls. To the best of my knowledge, in ACF you can only add inspector controls, not content controls. I have nothing against using PHP, but I think React is a bit of a stretch. In fact, I found out you can use PHP templates in Lazy Blocks, and I love it! Exporting standalone blocks would be enough for me to get a pro version of Lazy Blocks. Something like CPT UI, where you can create your custom posts and taxonomies in a visual way but in the end you can export all the code and remove the plugin. A true block builder! :P I have an ACF LTD license, and I'm really curious about 6.0, but for now I think Lazy Blocks will be a better option. Thanks for the videos and for the quick reply. ;)

This is great way to create a less nested layers of div instead than elementor. But i have some question can you add any utilities first CSS framework like TailwindCSS, WindiCSS instead of using pureCSS in every components ?

Sure, you could tailwind with lazyblocks. Just use one of the techniques mentioned in the video to enqueue the necessary css files
