Changelog

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 8.8.1 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

In this minor release we fixed a bug where some extensions making use of the /cart/extensions endpoint would not receive the updated cart totals in the response. We now ensure the cart totals are recalculated before sending the response.

Changelog

Bug fixes

• Fix a bug in which cart totals aren’t recalculated aftering running CartExtensions (#7490)

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 8.8.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

Filter by Rating block

This release contains a new block: the Filter by Rating block. This allows shoppers to select a rating and only show products that satisfy the filter’s criteria.

New hook for modifying cart_item_data

We added a new hook to the Store API named woocommerce_store_api_add_to_cart_data that provides an array of cart item data, and the API request object. This allows data to be modified or added to cart items before they are added to the cart.

For example, if an extension were to pass custom data to the API endpoint, it could retrieve the posted values via the new hook and then store it within the cart item itself for later use:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_store_api_add_to_cart_data', function( $add_to_cart_data, \WP_REST_Request $request ) {
     $add_to_cart_data['cart_item_data']['custom'] = sanitize_text_field( $request['custom-extension-data'] );
     return $add_to_cart_data;
}, 10, 2 );

More information about this can be found on the pull request in the WooCommerce Blocks GitHub repository.

Other changes

Besides these changes, we also made some performance improvements in the editor when working with the Cart and Checkout blocks. We added a notice to the block inspector to let users know these blocks are a beta feature, but the implementation of this notice had a slight performance impact. To fix this, we added some extra checks which allow us to stop executing the code for this notice early if the editor was not focused on either the Cart or Checkout block.

This release also fixes some alignment issues with the mini-cart in the editor.

We also fixed a bug where object data would be lost or inconsistent when using the /cart/extensions endpoint.

Finally, we fixed a bug where a fatal error would sometimes occur when using certain shipping setups on specific store configurations.

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 8.7.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

In this release we focused on a lot of internal changes and bug fixes. Some highlights include the following:

Cart & Checkout Integration

As a highlight for developers, we made a few changes to the way you integrate with the Cart & Checkout blocks.

WP Data Stores

We moved a lot of the data related to the Checkout process into wp/data stores, which can now be accessed by other plugins to allow more flexibility and creativity when interacting with the Checkout Block. You can read more about these and how to do that here

New filters

We added a new filter for changing the text of the “Place Order” button on the Checkout Block

const { __experimentalRegisterCheckoutFilters } = window.wc.blocksCheckout;
__experimentalRegisterCheckoutFilters( 'custom-place-order-button-label', {
	placeOrderButtonLabel: label,
} );

We also added a filter for disabling the ability to remove items from the Cart Block

const { __experimentalRegisterCheckoutFilters } = window.wc.blocksCheckout;

__experimentalRegisterCheckoutFilters('some-extension-name', {
		showRemoveItemLink: (value, extensions, { cartItem }) => {
			return cartItem.name !== 'Beanie';
		},
	});

Styling filter blocks is now easier

Previously, filter blocks were regular blocks containing a title and filter controls. Those blocks only had a styling option for the title. Also, we can’t style the filter controls without increasing the complexity of the block settings.

Because of those limitations, we upgraded filter blocks to use inner blocks. Each filter block now contains two inner blocks: a core heading block and the filter controls block. The new structures allow merchants to style individual inner blocks, which makes the filter blocks more versatile and easier to customize. In addition, using the core heading block also unlocks many possibilities and functionalities for free.
