[#129] Auto Create Blocks

[nathan-schmidt-viget]

Summary

This adds plop which allows us to auto build block files from the templates. We ask several questions and then build all the files.

Issues

• Look into a terminal script to auto create blocks #129

Testing Instructions

1. Restart DDEV by running ddev restart
2. Then path into the theme wp-content/themes/wp-starter
3. Run ddev npm run plop block or ddev npm run plop - running without block plop will default to the first generator which is block.

We may need to adjust/update this as we update our WP Site Starter blocks, but this is a start.

Cool! I hadn't heard about plop before.

I think this is really cool and has a lot of potential to make Site Starter actions a lot easier to do!! Good find with Plop! I'd love to explore other ways we can use it too!

One thing I didn't mention in my comments, but wanted to bring up is that I'd like to try to move away from loading a pattern default as innerBlocks and use the block templating, it just seems to work better in more situations, even though it's more difficult to create. Maybe something to discuss later.

[bd-viget]

One thing that would be cool would be to set up a simple custom command in ddev like ddev create-block that can be run anywhere in the project, that automatically executes from the theme directory.

[nathan-schmidt-viget]

Ah, that would be nice. I will look into that.

@bd-viget I am going to update the inner blocks part in my block refactor PR.
