Trac ticket:
Consider the following markup:
The second social link has an alias
core/social-link/wordpress
which we need to render correctly on the frontend with the correct CSS class names.All
WP_Block_Type
's are registered under their canonical form, meaning aliases are not in the registry. So when we are rendering an alias block type we need to know what the alias is so we can generate the appropriate class names for it, for the above mark up this would be:wp-social-link wp-social-link-wordpress wp-block-social-link
.This PR attempts to solve this by tracking the alias when we look it up in the block registry. When we return the canonical
WP_Block_Type
it will have an$alias_name
property so we know which alias it is representing.This Pull Request is for code review only. Please keep all other discussion in the Trac ticket. Do not merge this Pull Request. See GitHub Pull Requests for Code Review in the Core Handbook for more details.
