Boilerplates and Block Scaffolding Tools

To speed up development, especially when creating WordPress blocks, leverage existing scaffolding tools.

Block Scaffolding with @wordpress/scripts:

Use @wordpress/create-block to quickly set up the base files and configurations needed for block development. This automates Webpack configuration, ESLint setup, and basic file structuring:npx @wordpress/create-block This command generates a boilerplate structure that adheres to WordPress block coding standards, with built-in tools like Webpack, Babel, and ESLint already configured.You can explore more options on the Create Block documentation.

Theme Starter Kits:

For themes, Underscores and Elementary (specifically for Full Site Editing) are valuable starter kits. They provide essential boilerplate code that simplifies theme setup and focuses on custom functionality.

Example: Check the theme-elementary repository.
