Description

There is no convenient way of creating a post inside of a Blueprint and then redirecting the user to the post editor with that post opened.

For example, the Blueprint in block-development-examples#75 had to rely on a hardcoded post ID:

{
  "landingPage": "/wp-admin/post.php?post=4&action=edit",
  "steps": [
    // ... other steps ...
    {
      "step": "runPHP",
      "code": "<?php require '/wordpress/wp-load.php'; wp_insert_post( array('post_title'    => 'Test block','post_content'  => '<!-- wp:block-development-examples/basic-esnext-a2ab62 --><div style=\"background-color:#900;color:#fff;padding:20px\" class=\"wp-block-block-development-examples-basic-esnext-a2ab62\">Hello World, step 1 (from the frontend).</div><!-- /wp:block-development-examples/basic-esnext-a2ab62 -->', 'post_status'   => 'publish', 'post_author'   => 1 ) );"
    }
  ]
}

Let's add support for that. How? I'm not sure at this point – it will take some discussions and explorations.

Done is

  • Blueprints offer a way of redirecting to a resource created inside of a Blueprint

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Blueprint example in block-development-examples#75 and the runPHP step that creates the post. Determine how a created resource can be captured and used by landingPage, then verify that a Blueprint can redirect to the resulting post editor without a hardcoded ID.
