Why are my WordPress Interactivity API directives not firing on a custom block?▼

Interactivity API directives often fail due to hydration issues or improper viewScriptModule integration. This Skill helps debug these data-wp-* directive behaviors to ensure your custom block's interactive elements respond correctly after the page loads.

How do I manage client-side state using the WordPress Interactivity API?▼

To manage state with the Interactivity API, you use the @wordpress/interactivity package to handle both client-side and server-side data. This Skill guides you through state management to ensure efficient data handling within your custom blocks.
