What It Does
JetStyleManager is a plugin that extends the functionalities of Gutenberg. Combining this plugin with JetEngine, JetSmartFilters, and JetFormBuilder, you will be able to change block styles in the Gutenberg editor. This means that you can make a website built with Gutenberg and JetPlugins even more attractive.
If you have one or more plugins with Gutenberg blocks, JetStyleManager can offer you and your users an API for handy block styles management. As a developer, you get a convenient API that lets you add any custom styles supporting media queries, generate styles in a separate file, and manage them via 10+ different types of controls. Your users get a convenient UI and the ability to customize more styles than allowed by the standard Gutenberg UI. With this solution, you no longer need to add your own APIs for setting and compiling styles in every plugin used. This will ensure high performance both in the editor and on the frontend.
For integration, you can find the guide on how to integrate JetStyleManager into your blocks plugins.
