What?
The PR aims to update the Development Environment section of the Block Editor Handbook and provide a more streamlined developer onboarding experience using
wp-envorwp-now.Why?
The current section is not up to date and does not provide an optimal developer experience. It also does not cover
wp-now.How?
To begin, the main Development Environment page is simplified. It now provides an overview of what you need to set up a dev environment for JavaScript development and provides brief explanations of "why" you need a code editor, Node.js dev tools, and a local WordPress environment.
The section covering Node.js dev tools is broken out into its own page, providing more details and installation information.
The section on creating a local WordPress environment has also been broken out into two additional guides, one for
wp-envand another forwp-now. Since these are the two tools currently maintained by WordPress itself, this is why they were chosen. This structure allows additional guides to be added in the future depending on community interest.Finally, the current How to setup local WordPress environment on Ubuntu doc has been removed, and that content is now part of the Troubleshooting section of the new "Guide to using wp-env".
