A CLI to streamline the process of creating ACF blocks. Quickly generate your Advanced Custom Fields blocks in your WordPress theme.
You can install the CLI globally via Composer:
composer global require joeyfarruggio/create-acf-block
If it's your first time installing a global Composer package, ensure that the global Composer binaries directory is in your system's PATH. This will allow you to run the create-acf-block command globally.
To find out the path to your global composer binaries:
composer global config bin-dir --absolute
The command above will output a path. You need to add this path to your system's PATH. Below are instructions based on your operating system:
Add the following to your .bashrc, .bash_profile, or .zshrc file:
export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
Note: Depending on your setup, the path might be ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin instead.
- Right-click on the Computer icon and choose Properties.
- Click on the Advanced system settings link.
- Click on the Environment Variables button.
- In the System Variables section, find the PATH variable, select it, and click Edit.
- In the Edit Environment Variable window, add a semicolon to the end of the value and then append the path to your global composer binaries.
- Click OK to save your changes.
After installation, you can utilize the CLI tool globally:
create-acf-block
Follow the on-screen prompts to create your ACF block.
The first tme you run the command you will be see a series of config prompts. If you ever need to reset these you can run create-acf-block set-config.
If you encounter any issues while running the command, ensure that:
- The Composer binaries path is correctly set in your PATH as per the installation instructions.
- You have the required permissions to execute the command.
