register_block_script_handle()WP 5.5.0

Finds a script handle for the selected block metadata field. It detects when a path to file was provided and finds a corresponding asset file with details necessary to register the script under automatically generated handle name. It returns unprocessed script handle otherwise.

No Hooks.

Return

String|false. Script handle provided directly or created through script's registration, or false on failure.

Usage

register_block_script_handle( $metadata, $field_name, $index );
$metadata(array) (required)
Block metadata.
$field_name(string) (required)
Field name to pick from metadata.
$index(int)
Index of the script to register when multiple items passed.

Changelog
