Methods

NameDescription
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::__wakeup
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::get_all_registeredRetrieves all registered block patterns.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::get_contentRetrieves the content of a registered block pattern.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::get_instanceUtility method to retrieve the main instance of the class.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::get_registeredRetrieves an array containing the properties of a registered block pattern.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::is_registeredChecks if a block pattern is registered.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::prepare_contentPrepares the content of a block pattern. If hooked blocks are registered, they get injected into the pattern, when they met the defined criteria.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::registerRegisters a block pattern.
WP_Block_Patterns_Registry::unregisterUnregisters a block pattern.

	 * Registers a block pattern.
	 *
	 * @since 5.5.0
	 * @since 5.8.0 Added support for the `blockTypes` property.
	 * @since 6.1.0 Added support for the `postTypes` property.
	 * @since 6.2.0 Added support for the `templateTypes` property.
	 * @since 6.5.0 Added support for the `filePath` property.
	 *
	 * @param string $pattern_name       Block pattern name including namespace.
	 * @param array  $pattern_properties {
	 *     List of properties for the block pattern.
	 *
	 *     @type string   $title         Required. A human-readable title for the pattern.
	 *     @type string   $content       Optional. Block HTML markup for the pattern.
	 *                                   If not provided, the content will be retrieved from the `filePath` if set.
	 *                                   If both `content` and `filePath` are not set, the pattern will not be registered.
	 *     @type string   $description   Optional. Visually hidden text used to describe the pattern
	 *                                   in the inserter. A description is optional, but is strongly
	 *                                   encouraged when the title does not fully describe what the
	 *                                   pattern does. The description will help users discover the
	 *                                   pattern while searching.
	 *     @type int      $viewportWidth Optional. The intended width of the pattern to allow for a scaled
	 *                                   preview within the pattern inserter.
	 *     @type bool     $inserter      Optional. Determines whether the pattern is visible in inserter.
	 *                                   To hide a pattern so that it can only be inserted programmatically,
	 *                                   set this to false. Default true.
	 *     @type string[] $categories    Optional. A list of registered pattern categories used to group
	 *                                   block patterns. Block patterns can be shown on multiple categories.
	 *                                   A category must be registered separately in order to be used here.
	 *     @type string[] $keywords      Optional. A list of aliases or keywords that help users discover
	 *                                   the pattern while searching.
	 *     @type string[] $blockTypes    Optional. A list of block names including namespace that could use
	 *                                   the block pattern in certain contexts (placeholder, transforms).
	 *                                   The block pattern is available in the block editor inserter
	 *                                   regardless of this list of block names.
	 *                                   Certain blocks support further specificity besides the block name
	 *                                   (e.g. for `core/template-part` you can specify areas
	 *                                   like `core/template-part/header` or `core/template-part/footer`).
	 *     @type string[] $postTypes     Optional. An array of post types that the pattern is restricted
	 *                                   to be used with. The pattern will only be available when editing one
	 *                                   of the post types passed on the array. For all the other post types
	 *                                   not part of the array the pattern is not available at all.
	 *     @type string[] $templateTypes Optional. An array of template types where the pattern fits.
	 *     @type string   $filePath      Optional. The full path to the file containing the block pattern content.
	 * }
	 * @return bool True if the pattern was registered with success and false otherwise.
