Thanks for your reply. I’m using withSelect and pretty much what you told me and now I get the current featured image alt attribute, but, I’m not building a bock, but a plugin with registerPlugin();.
In this plugin I’m updating some post meta values with wp.apiRequest() inside getDerivedStateFromProps() . The problem is that I can’t setState inside getDerivedStateFromProps() since this is not accessible. Hence, I’m trying to setState outside that method. I thought that it can be done inside componentDidUpdate() but even if i wrap setState inside a condition, it fires an infinite loop.
Where can I setState in this case?

	componentDidUpdate(prevProps){
		console.log('did update');
		console.log(prevProps);

		if(prevProps.media !== undefined && prevProps.content_count !== ''){
			let color_code = '';
			let fti_color_code = '';
			let alt_text = prevProps.media.alt_text;
			let content_count = prevProps.content_count;

			if(content_count < 300){
				color_code = 'red';
			}else if(content_count >= 300 && content_count < 400){
				color_code = 'orange';
			}else{
				color_code = 'green';
			}

			let alt_text_arr = alt_text.split(' ');
			if(alt_text_arr.length !== 0){
				if(alt_text_arr.length < 4 && alt_text_arr.length > 6){
					fti_color_code = 'red';
					console.log(<code>fti _cc: ${fti_color_code}</code>);
				}else if(alt_text_arr.length >= 4 && alt_text_arr.length <= 6){
					fti_color_code = 'green';
					console.log(<code>fti cc: ${fti_color_code}</code>);
				}
			}

			if(this.state.body_content.color_code !== color_code || this.state.alt_attribute.color_code !== fti_color_code){
				console.log(<code>content count: ${content_count}</code>);
				console.log(<code>alt text: ${alt_text}</code>);

				this.setState({
					body_content: {
						color_code: {key: 'body_content_cc', value: color_code}
					},
					alt_attribute:{
						color_code: {key: 'alt_attribute_cc', value: fti_color_code}
					}
				});
			}
		}

	}//End component did update

Thanks for your help
