Description

I'm trying to implement a custom block for the Isolated Block Editor outside of WordPress (I want to use Gutenberg for a web app that is NOT based on WP).

The editor works fine, but I'm unable to create custom blocks. I followed the usual procedure, but the block doesn't work, and I get this console error: window.wp.blocks.registerBlockType is undefined.

It seems "wp.blocks" is not exported, so I'm unsure how to extend it.

Can anyone help?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing custom block registration in the Isolated Block Editor and trace how the `wp` object is exposed; completion means a custom block can register without `window.wp.blocks.registerBlockType` being undefined.
