Just starting to play with Gutenberg block development, and I am building a very simple button (yes I know buttons are already included, but this block will have lots of settings and classes not included in the core block).
Seem’s pretty strait forward, but when I save the block and reload, I get a validation error and the “This block appears to have been modified externally” message.
registerBlockType('franklin/button', {
title: 'Button',
keywords: ['button' ],
icon: 'admin-links',
category: 'layout',
attributes: {
text: {
source: 'text',
selector: '.button-text'
},
},
edit({attributes, setAttributes }) {
return (
<div class="guttenberg-usa-button">
<button class="usa-button">
<PlainText
onChange={ content => setAttributes({ text: content }) }
value={ attributes.text }
placeholder="Your button text"
className="button-text"
/>
</button>
</div>
);
},
save({attributes}) {
return (
<button class="usa-button">
{ attributes.text }
</button>
);
}
});
So in the editor, I’ll add my block, modify the (button) text, save, and reload where I get the This block appears to have been modified externally” message.
Console shows the following error
Expected:
<button class="usa-button" class="wp-block-franklin-button"></button>
Actual:
<button class="usa-button" class="wp-block-franklin-button">testest</button>
I must be missing some fundamental concept or something, but I thought the save() function determines what gets displayed on the frontend which btw, looks as expected.
