The various pieces of this starter block are:

- [**block.json**](https://github.com/10up/wp-scaffold/blob/trunk/themes/tenup-theme/includes/blocks/example-block/block.json) — This is where all of the configurations for our block happen. The block's name, icon, keywords and everything else is handled here. Most importantly, the block's attributes are listed here. We will cover attributes more in the next section.
- [**edit.js**](https://github.com/10up/wp-scaffold/blob/trunk/themes/tenup-theme/includes/blocks/example-block/edit.js) — This file controls how the block looks and behaves in the editor. This is where you use interactive elements to manage your block's attributes. Imagine that you want to add a title to your block. In `edit.js`, you will import the `RichText` component, style it to look like it does on the frontend, and listen for changes. Any time the block changes, the data gets saved in the database! Markup in this file is written in JSX like standard React components.
- [**index.css**](https://github.com/10up/wp-scaffold/blob/trunk/themes/tenup-theme/includes/blocks/example-block/index.css) — Sometimes you want your block to look slightly different in the editor than on the frontend. You can add styles to affect only the editor appearance here.

## Putting it all Together

There is a lot going on here, but things should make more sense if we follow a single attribute around the codebase.

Let us look at the `customTitle` attribute:

1. It is first defined as an attribute in [block.json](https://github.com/10up/wp-scaffold/blob/trunk/themes/tenup-theme/includes/blocks/example-block/block.json#L15). This is essentially saying "I want to store a field in the database called `customTitle` and use it in my templates. There are two instances below where you can see `customTitle` defined.

The first is the actual definition of the attribute. Here, we define the attribute and set [type validation](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-attributes/#type-validation).

1. Then we wrap it in some markup and watch for changes in a `<RichText>` element in [edit.js](https://github.com/10up/wp-scaffold/blob/trunk/themes/tenup-theme/includes/blocks/example-block/edit.js#L28). Pay close attention to the last two lines of the `<RichText>` element. We are telling the RichText component what the current current value it should display is. And then telling it what to do whenever the value it is changed.

Now that the content is saved in the database we also need to somehow use this content in our markup in PHP template. Inside our [`markup.php`[(<https://github.com/10up/gutenberg-lessons/tree/trunk/themes/tenup-theme/includes/blocks/inner-blocks-one-starter/markup.php>)] file we have access to a few variables. The `$attributes`, `$content`, `$block`, and `$context`. In this case we are interested in the `$content` variable which stores the saved markup from the editor.
