This toolkit is for developers who want to create custom blocks for the Gutenberg editor without spending time on build configuration. It provides a pre-configured environment with modern JavaScript tooling, allowing you to focus on writing block functionality instead of managing webpack, Babel, or ESLint setups.

Zero-configuration setup: Run a single command to generate a fully functional plugin structure with development and production build scripts ready to use.

Single dependency management: All build tools are bundled into one versioned package (cgb-scripts), simplifying updates and maintenance.

Development workflow scripts: Includes npm start for live development with hot reloading and npm run build for optimized production code.

Eject option: If needed, you can run npm run eject to gain full control over the underlying configuration, though this is a one-way operation.

Modern JavaScript support: The environment comes pre-configured to support React, JSX, ES6+ syntax, and auto-prefixed CSS out of the box.
