What
This PR adds the
type
field to theEditorBlock
interface.Why
Many block implementations (including Faust) rely on using the block type to match the component. Currently, the only way to do that is enable public introspection for the entire GraphQL server, and use
__typename
. By adding atype
field, we can do that mapping without public introspection.How
A new
WPGraphQLHelpers::get_type_name_for_block()
method has been introduced to keep the code DRY. It's been marked@internal
to discourage usage (since once we have a Block model, we can just define thetype
and use$block->type
to resolve the interface).
