This is the feature plugin for WooCommerce + Gutenberg. This plugin serves as a space to iterate and explore new Blocks and updates to existing blocks for WooCommerce, and how WooCommerce might work with the block editor.
Use this plugin if you want access to the bleeding edge of available blocks for WooCommerce. However, stable blocks are bundled into WooCommerce, and can be added from the "WooCommerce" section in the block inserter.

> Note: The plugin follows a policy of supporting the "L0" strategy for version support. What this means is that the plugin will require the most recent version of WordPress, and the most recent version of WooCommerce core at the time of a release. You can read more about [this policy here](https://developer.woocommerce.com/?p=9998).

## Getting started with block development
Run through the ["Writing Your First Block Type" tutorial](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/designers-developers/developers/tutorials/block-tutorial/) for a quick course in block-building.
For deeper dive, try looking at the [core blocks code,](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/block-library/src) or see what [components are available.](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/components/src)
To begin contributing to the WooCommerce Blocks plugin, see our [getting started guide](./docs/contributors/getting-started.md) and [developer handbook](./docs/readme.md).
