Acorn FSE Helper provides an easy way to initialize and work with block templates in themes powered by Acorn.

• PHP >= 8.1
• Acorn >= 4.2

Install via Composer:

$ composer require roots/acorn-fse-helper

Once installed, begin by initializing full-site editing in your theme using Acorn's CLI:

$ wp acorn fse:init

Initializing ensures your current activated theme supports block-templates as well as provides you with the option to publish initial stubs to get started with.

Once initialized, any block templates located in templates/ will be given priority over existing Blade views.

To assist with hybrid theme development, Acorn FSE Helper includes a few useful Blade directives out of the box for working with blocks inside of views.

The @blocks directive allows you to render raw block markup inside of a view using do_blocks():

@blocks
  <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
  <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
@endblocks

The @blockpart directive provides a convenient way to render block template parts inside of your views using block_template_part():

@blockpart('header')

To render multiple template parts at once, you may pass an array in the order you wish them to be rendered in:

@blockpart(['header', 'footer'])
