What?

Removing some unused vars in the Theme JSON class.

Noticed while working on #42084

Why?

$has_block_gap_support is only used once
$block_gap_value is immediately overwritten in the subsequent if block

Testing Instructions

Tests should pass.

On the frontend, there should be no regressions: the block gap value should be correctly output where the ✅ is:

:where(.wp-site-blocks) > * { margin-block-start: ✅ ; margin-block-end: 0; } and body { --wp--style--block-gap: ✅; }

$has_block_gap_support is only used once

I'm still seeing a fallback in the JS

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/block-editor/src/components/global-styles/use-global-styles-output.js#L479-480

Should the fallback of '0.5em' be used in the if statement if static::get_property_value returns empty?

Good question! A couple of considerations:

  • Core's lib/theme.json includes a styles.spacing.blockGap value of 24px, so in practice, was the 0.5em value ever being output? I'm curious if the 0.5em default spacing was ever being displayed visually for anyone 🤔
  • I think the 0.5em fallback was originally intended for flex layouts so that on classic themes where there might not be any blockGap value, things like Buttons spacing would still get a visually pleasing default value. In the case of root layout rules, that might not be necessary?

Good catch! ✨

✅ Smoke tested that root layout block spacing rules are still output when settings.spacing.blockGap is either true or false
✅ They are not output when blockGap is set to null
✅ Styles are output correctly, and the previous fallback value was never being used anyway

LGTM, just left a note about whether it's worth adding a one-line comment to flag that blockGap outputs in true and false but not null.
