The Indispensable Role of Getters

When a directive references state.totalInStockValue, the getter function executes.

“Should I still use jQuery in WordPress blocks in 2026?”
The short answer: no.

The real problem isn’t jQuery itself—it’s the technical and UX debt it quietly adds to every project.

Interactivity API Tip:
