has_blocks( int|string|WP_Post|null $post = null )
Determines whether a post or content string has blocks.
Contents
Description
This test optimizes for performance rather than strict accuracy, detecting the pattern of a block but not validating its structure. For strict accuracy, you should use the block parser on post content.

-

if ( has_blocks() ) { // Do something. }1. We can use this function to pass a flag to indicate if content has blocks when we have decoupled environment, where WP is backend and frontend is implemented in some other language.
2. We can convert (parse) block output as per our requirement and pass it in the API. While, converting it can be useful to check if the content has any block. This will let us pass content efficiently by implementing parsing when it is necessary.
