JavaScript has a (newish) feature called optional chaining. Say I have code like:
const name = Data.person.name;
If person happens to not exist on Data, I’m going to get a hard, show-stopping error. With optional chaining, I can write:
const name = Data.person?.name;
Now if person...

Using Markdown and Localization in the WordPress Block Editor
23.9.2020
If we need to show documentation to the user directly in the WordPress editor, what is the best way to do it?
