Description

As @noisysocks noted here:

Does it make sense to output the rendered Search block at all? What does submitting the Search form do?
More generally, does it make sense to render any block on widgets.php? The semantics of this page are that there is a widget control for each widget. It's not possible to preview a widget on widgets.php. It's not WYSIWYG.

This PR updates the Widget Block to use a textarea as it's edit form instead of rendering the block.

How has this been tested?

  1. Navigate to Widgets (beta) and add a Search block to one of the block areas.
  2. Navigate to Widgets (the old screen).
  3. Confirm the search block is rendered as a textarea with it's gutenberg contents inside.
  4. Update the textarea and hit save.
  5. Refresh the page and confirm your changes were saved.

In nav-menus.php the equivalent textarea is marked readonly. I'm on the fence about whether to allow editing the block markup. Originally I thought no because the primary purpose is for backwards compatibility and not for editing/creating content. But, we already allow editing (block) HTML using the HTML or Text widgets, so I guess it's not that different.

  • If yes: Let's swap the text class with code so that CodeMirror adds syntax highlighting to the textarea, and make the same changes to the textarea in lib/navigation.php for consistency.
  • If no: Let's add readonly to the textarea and hide the Save button.

I tested this and the render html does appear in a textarea but:

  1. shouldn't that be readonly?
  2. if I edit it and click save the content disappears. It is saved though and also restored upon page refresh.

Blocked by #25625 as depending on the outcome there either a textarea or a block preview may make more sense.

We're going to properly implement a block editor in the Customizer. We should go ahead and do this so that widgets.php (the old screen) only shows a textarea when there is a block widget.
