How To Install/ Use/ Learn

This repo has three blocks:

• "Call To Action" - A basic static block.
• "Call To Action Editable" - A static block with editable options.
• "Call To Action Editable Advanced" - A static block with editable options and even more controls and WordPress APIs.
• "Post Title" - An example of block that replaces a shortcode.
  • Step by Step Guide

These blocks were made without JSX or any build tools first. Then they were converted to JSX, using webpack. The first commit in the conversion to JSX is 8b01eaffdea8222435d296dd85a3bfef74d5ccfd
