# Usage with Block Bindings?

 * Hello! Comparing this to ACF, SCF, Pods, and hard-coded ways of achieving CPT
   and post_meta.
 * Do you have any docs about using this plugin in conjunction with Block Binding
   attributes? Did not see anything in Docs on your site when searching for binding.
 * For people building block themes in FSE, this is the future. Using plugins like
   yours (and the others listed above) to create post types & custom fields, but
   then connect the sources using the normal block editor/site editor.

 * You can use any custom field by ensuring the fields are registered with the REST
   API.
 * For Pods that means:
    - Pods Admin > Settings > Performance > Register meta fields > Enable
    - Pods Admin > Edit Pods > Edit your pod > REST API > Enable
    - Pods Admin > Edit Pods > Edit your pod > REST API > Show all fields (or edit
      the fields you want to make them available)
    - Pods Admin > Edit Pods > Edit your pod > REST API > Field Location > Include
      in the meta object
 * Most plugins handle it differently from the UI or the code-based registration
   API they provide.
 * BUT in all cases, right now there’s no ability to start linking a custom field
   from the UI in WordPress core as of 6.9.x — you have to use the custom field 
   metadata markup manually by editing your content as code through the editor: 
   [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/03/06/new-feature-the-block-bindings-api/#:~:text=custom%20fields%20support.-,Custom%20fields,-Importantly%2C%20in%20this](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/03/06/new-feature-the-block-bindings-api/#:~:text=custom%20fields%20support.-,Custom%20fields,-Importantly%2C%20in%20this)
 * Once you set it, you start to see the UI appear for how it works and the attribute
   on the block shows up with what it’s linked to — but there’s no way to change
   the field key or add one to a block from the editor UI in core.

 * Hey [@sc0ttkclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) thanks!!
   Did you mean to post this here:
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pods-block-bindings-documentation/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pods-block-bindings-documentation/)
 * (Sorry if all the cross-posting was confusing—I’m testing all the major CPT/Custom
   Field plugins with Block Bindings/Attributes over the last 48 hrs and tracking
   against Gutenberg tickets too)

 * I posted this here just to help in case Meta Box team needed more context for
   how other plugins were approaching. I made a new doc for it with examples here
   too: [https://docs.pods.io/code/block-bindings-api/](https://docs.pods.io/code/block-bindings-api/)
