An overview of the "Block hooks" feature

[ndiego]

The feature for "Auto-inserting blocks" is coming in WordPress 6.4. The name might still be TBD, but the approach for this article will be an overview of the feature with 2-3 examples of how it can be used.

This feature has major implications for extenders and the article, coupled with technical documentation, will help educate the community. Ideally, this should be published right after Beta 1 (9/26)

Edit: This feature is now called Block hooks.

Name change as per release of Gutenberg 16.6 . From the release post:

On activation, plugins are now equipped with the capability to auto-insert blocks, enhancing the integration and automation between plugins and the Gutenberg editor. Early versions of this experiment were called Auto-inserted blocks, but after some discussion, they have now been dubbed Block hooks
