There’s a new way to build WordPress dashboard pages, using React and modern tooling alongside the classic PHP-rendered admin UI. In this workshop, we’ll build a real dashboard page live, from start to finish, so you walk away with a practical pattern you can apply directly to your own plugins and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
**What you’ll learn:**<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– A modern alternative to the classic PHP admin approach: React, Gutenberg’s component and data packages, and the WP REST API
– How to structure dashboard UI with React components, including the new `DataForm` component
– How to fetch and update data via the WP REST API
– A complete, reusable pattern for your own dashboard pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n
**Format:** Live coding demo with explanation throughout (~1.5 hours, a very flexible to slot length)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
**Level:** Best suited for developers with basic React and\/or PHP experience; no prior WordPress dashboard page-building experience is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
