    I’m not finding any option to get the current block added to the editor and I couldn’t force an update using the React function forceUpdate(), there is no implementation for that.

    I found this on documentation but I can’t use it. Or i just don’t know how to interact with React.

    wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/data/data-core-editor/#getselectedblock

    Another thing would be an action hook to fire after a new block is added to the editor. Is this available?

    Hi @edir

    I don’t have a good answer to these questions, but you might find someone who knows the answer faster if you ask in the #core-editor channel in WP Slack.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the late response here, could you show us how you are implementing the getSelectedBlock feature (or if you sorted it, give an update on how you achieved it 🙂 ) ?
