Hooks and filters in Query Builder

Query builder is a very powerful swiss knife block for any loop maker. It has also few filters and hooks which you can use to extend it or add compatibility with other plugins.

How to show post classes on each grid

By default, grid item shows only type of post and post id. But you can extend to show all categories, tags, etc. Here is snippet

add_filter('gspbgrid_item_class', 'gs_item_class', 10, 3);
function gs_item_class($class, $postid, $block_instance){
    $classnew = get_post_class('', $postid);
    $classnew = implode(' ', $classnew);
    $class = $class. ' '.$classnew;
    return $class;
}

Also, you can change $args of loop. We have filter and action for this. Example

add_filter( 'gspb_module_args_query', function( $args ) {
    if ( ! is_admin() ) {
        $args['wp_grid_builder'] = 'wpgb-content';
    }
    return $args;
});

This filter will change $args of WP_Query class before it runs.

You can also use action which will affect wp_query after WP_Query

add_action('gspb_after_module_args_query', function ($wp_query){
    return $wp_query;
});
