 * Hello all,
 * I have been struggling with this one for a while, I have recently switched from
   Flexible Layouts to Blocks using ACF. The issue I have now is, I have all my 
   scripts in the scripts.js file, that initiates things like Slick Slider, and 
   other custom code for elements.
 * While on the front-end the website looks normal, and all the block function as
   they should, the Javascript is not being loaded in the back-end editor. I tried
   including the script file, but it seems like the DOMLoaded event the preview 
   of the block is still not being displayed, so the script never links up to it.
 * Is there any way to trigger the javascript for the blocks after they have been
   displayed in the preview editor.

 * Hi, how are you including the script?
 * Are you enqueuing it on a hook?
 * If yes, maybe these hooks can help

   Also you could try hooking onto this [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_editor_style/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_editor_style/)
