Zack Pyle shared this in the Circle Community. He has been making a few tweaks to the block editor to make Etch a little easier for non-technical team members/clients to work with. Kevin alluded to this being an upcoming phase in the April 23 live stream, but in the meantime, this will help.
- Hide the key below component prop inputs (unnecessary in the block editor)
- Remove extra padding on component prop groups
- Hide the Image ID prop input since there is a button to select from the media library
- Hide Etch blocks from the inserter (instead of unregistering them. If you unregister them, then the user can’t duplicate your etch stuff)
/* Etch Block Editor Component Prop Tweaks */
.components-base-control__help{
display: none;
}
[data-etch-property-type="object:group"] .components-panel__body{
padding-inline: 0;
}
[data-etch-property-type="string:wpMediaId"] .components-text-control__input,
[data-etch-property-type="string:image"] .components-text-control__input{
display: none;
}
/* Hide entire Etch section from inserter */
.block-editor-inserter__panel-header:has(+ .block-editor-inserter__panel-content [class*="editor-block-list-item-etch-"]),
.block-editor-inserter__panel-header:has(+ .block-editor-inserter__panel-content [class*="editor-block-list-item-etch-"]) + .block-editor-inserter__panel-content {
display: none !important;
}
Here is a before-and-after image and as you can see, the update version on the right is much cleaner.
