Half-Baked Plugins: Embeds for Twitch and Gutenberg

In my forever attempt to learn and understand Gutenberg, React, and ES6 (which I am failing at horribly) I sometimes build WordPress plugins just for the learning experience. I don’t have any full intent on releasing these to the WordPress.org Plugin Repository because I honestly don’t feel like dealing with end users and support. I’m a horrible person, I know.

One that I’ve got in my barrel of cobwebs is Embeds for Twitch and Gutenberg

Allows Twitch channels, videos, and clips to be auto-embedded.

This allows you to embed Twitch channels, videos, and clips as a Gutenberg block in WordPress. Here’s some examples:

Twitch Channel

Twitch Video

Twitch Clip

Note: It seems that sometime between me finishing the current version of the plugin and the publishing of this post, Clips are borked. 🤷‍♂️

Stay tuned for our next episode of Half-Baked Plugins where I do stupid things with images.
