Functions
Functions that are not part of a class:

register_block_bindings_source( string $source_name, array $source_properties )   X-Ref
Registers a new block bindings source.

Registering a source consists of defining a **name** for that source and a callback function specifying
how to get a value from that source and pass it to a block attribute.

Once a source is registered, any block that supports the Block Bindings API can use a value
from that source by setting its `metadata.bindings` attribute to a value that refers to the source.

Note that `register_block_bindings_source()` should be called from a handler attached to the `init` hook.


## Example

### Registering a source

First, you need to define a function that will be used to get the value from the source.

function my_plugin_get_custom_source_value( array $source_args, $block_instance, string $attribute_name ) {
// Your custom logic to get the value from the source.
// For example, you can use the `$source_args` to look up a value in a custom table or get it from an external API.
$value = $source_args['key'];

return "The value passed to the block is: $value"
}

The `$source_args` will contain the arguments passed to the source in the block's
`metadata.bindings` attribute. See the example in the "Usage in a block" section below.

function my_plugin_register_block_bindings_sources() {
register_block_bindings_source( 'my-plugin/my-custom-source', array(
'label'              => __( 'My Custom Source', 'my-plugin' ),
'get_value_callback' => 'my_plugin_get_custom_source_value',
) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_plugin_register_block_bindings_sources' );

### Usage in a block

In a block's `metadata.bindings` attribute, you can specify the source and
its arguments. Such a block will use the source to override the block
attribute's value. For example:

<!-- wp:paragraph {
"metadata": {
"bindings": {
"content": {
"source": "my-plugin/my-custom-source",
"args": {
"key": "you can pass any custom arguments here"
}
}
}
}
} -->
<p>Fallback text that gets replaced.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

param: string $source_name       The name of the source. It must be a string containing a namespace prefix, i.e.
param: array  $source_properties {
return: WP_Block_Bindings_Source|false Source when the registration was successful, or `false` on failure.

unregister_block_bindings_source( string $source_name )   X-Ref
Unregisters a block bindings source.

param: string $source_name Block bindings source name including namespace.
return: WP_Block_Bindings_Source|false The unregistered block bindings source on success and `false` otherwise.

get_all_registered_block_bindings_sources()   X-Ref
Retrieves the list of all registered block bindings sources.

return: WP_Block_Bindings_Source[] The array of registered block bindings sources.

get_block_bindings_source( string $source_name )   X-Ref
Retrieves a registered block bindings source.

param: string $source_name The name of the source.
return: WP_Block_Bindings_Source|null The registered block bindings source, or `null` if it is not registered.
