Explanation: Requires Gutenberg

Plugin requires header

✅ How to use the header

Todo

• Find how to require a plugin in the header

Requires Plugins: gutenberg

• Include the Gutenberg plugin as a requirement if necessary for these blocks
• Update plugin header for Interactivity API Countdown
• Update plugin headers documentation in the Plugin Handbook

Background

The Interactivity API won't work without the Gutenberg Plugin active. There's a new header that will throw an error in the dashboard for this (as of 6.5). Trying to get word on this header so it can be documented.

How was it discovered?

The Playground demo worked, so the code wasn't broken.

Possible culprits

• 👋 Gutenberg not installed?
• 🚫 interactivity API dependencies in package-lock.json?
• 🚫 viewScript changes?
• ⁇ No data from datastore?
