I'm likely to be an edge case, but I've been rendering blocks on the fly in my templates, via simple function:
function renderBlockById($id) {
// get reusable gutenberg block:
$gblock = get_post($id);
return apply_filters('the_content', $gblock->post_content);
}
In the interests of more readable code, I'd prefer to be passing the 'slug' of a block into this function, but the only place I can get them is from the database itself. Any chance it could be added as an optional column?
