I have a load of data as JSON that I am trying to save into a fresh install of WordPress.
I am using puppeteer to log into and create each page, and wp.blocks.createBlock to programmatically create the blocks.
// Input the page title
const headingInput = document.querySelector("#post-title-0");
headingInput.innerHTML = json.data.heading;
var changeEvent = new Event("change", {
bubbles: true,
cancelable: true,
});
headingInput.dispatchEvent(changeEvent);
/**
* Next up, create each of the gutenberg blocks
*/
json.data.blocks.forEach((block) => {
if (
block.className == "feature text-feature"
) {
block.content.forEach((element) => {
if (element.hasOwnProperty("gutenbergBlock")) {
var el = wp.element.createElement;
insertedBlock = wp.blocks.createBlock(
element.gutenbergBlock,
element.attributes
);
wp.data.dispatch("core/editor").insertBlocks(insertedBlock);
}
});
}
});
// Attempt to trigger the save:
document
.querySelectorAll(".editor-post-publish-button")
.forEach((button) => {
console.log("clicking button!");
var clickEvent = new MouseEvent("click", {
view: window,
bubbles: true,
cancelable: false,
});
button.dispatchEvent(clickEvent);
});
Above, I attempt to click on the save button to save the post, however this part does not work.
Is there a way to trigger the saving of page content? Something like: wp.blocks.save()? I have trawled the documentation but can't find anything so niche.
