## Description
This Block inserts any Block Pattern at any insert point (+), also from inside a
column block.
The block is replaced by the Block Pattern content. (The “Insert Block Pattern”
Block is removed)
Theme Block Patterns are an excellent method for making well designed block content
available to editors and authors.
This Block is a provisional solution. It will be maintained until the Block Pattern
Library is extended.
#### Languages
1. English
2. Norwegian

## Installation
#### Manual Installation
1. Unpack the `insert-block-pattern-block.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
#### NPM Installation
A minimal `package.json`, `webpack.config.js` is included.
```
Note: copy this into a .babelrc file at plugins/insert-block-pattern-block/.babelrc
{
"presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"],
"plugins": [
"@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import",
"@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"
]
}
```
To install and build:
```
plugins/insert-block-pattern-block/$ npm i
plugins/insert-block-pattern-block/$ npm run build
```
#### Creating language files
1. Create .mo and .po files from the languages/ibpb.pot file for your language.
2. Check that textdomain in front of mo and po. The files need to be of the form: ‘
ibpb-.mo’. eg. ibpb-nb_NO.mo, ibpb-nb_NO.po
3. Use WP-Cli at `plugins/ipbp/`
4. $ wp i18n make-json languages/ibpb-.po –no-purge
This produces a 2 json file with a hash strings.
It does not currently work directly by adding these 2 files – they must be combined
into a new json file:
Copy one of the 2 generated files to:
```
ibpb--ibpb_blocks_registration.json
```
Combine the messages into one file
```
"locale_data": { "messages": { }}
```
Rename the source line to:
```
"source": "ibpb_blocks_registration.js",
```
This should end up with a file something like this:
```
plugins/insert-block-pattern-block/languages/ibpb--ibpb_blocks_registration.json
{
"translation-revision-date": "2021-01-17 10:27+0100",
"generator": "WP-CLI/2.2.0",
"source": "ibpb_blocks_registration.js",
"domain": "messages",
"locale_data": {
"messages": {
"": {
"domain": "messages",
"lang": "nb_NO",
"plural-forms": "nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);"
},
"Block for inserting a Block Pattern": [

"Select a Block Pattern Category": ["Velg kategori"],
"Uncategorized": ["Ukategorisert"],
"Select a Block Pattern": ["Velg Blokk m\u00f8nster"]
}
}
}
```
