Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64360

​The enqueue_block_assets action is used to add scripts and styles in the block editor's iframe.

It should be possible to add script modules to the block editor's iframe as well.

See:

_wp_get_iframed_editor_assets and ​its documentation.
The WP_Script_Modules class.
The block editor Iframe component in Gutenberg.
This will likely require a new method or exposing more of the script modules internal data so that a specific WP_Script_Modules instance can be used for the iframed assets. See #60597.

Requires Gutenberg changes to the block editor. See WordPress/gutenberg#73765.

Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

  • The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
  • All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
  • All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
  • A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
  • Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
    it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.

Test this pull request with WordPress Playground.

Relatedly, I just learned that PHP 8.5 has clone with support for setting properties on a cloned object: https://www.php.net/releases/8.5/en.php#clone-with

Would this be better?

$clone->modules_with_missing_dependencies = $this->modules_with_missing_dependencies;

The result is the same, right? I don't mind either way, if you have reasons to prefer one or the other I'd be happy to know.

Mutating the queue member variable is done elsewhere in core for WP_Styles.

And this is just changing two members instead of three. And these two members feel less internal than the others, meaning we won't need to worry about ensuring other members get copied.

And if I understand correctly, resetting the queue and done are conceptually closer to what is desired: reset the state of what has been queued/printed to capture what is newly to be queued.

// Create new instances to collect the assets.
$wp_styles = new WP_Styles();
$wp_scripts = new WP_Scripts();
$wp_script_modules = $wp_script_modules->clone_without_enqueued_modules();

I learned of a hack/feature in PHP to allow setting private members in PostStatus Slack. This should should have the same effect, including my suggestion below:

Suggested change
$wp_script_modules = $wp_script_modules->clone_without_enqueued_modules();
$wp_script_modules = clone $wp_script_modules;
( function () {
$this->done = array();
$this->queue = array();
} )->call( $wp_script_modules );

That's wild. I can't believe it works and private properties are accessible in the closure.
