Integrating Elixir with WordPress Using LiveState

Chris Nelson describes a project aimed at integrating an Elixir backend with a WordPress site using LiveState. The article walks through building a WordPress plugin that embeds a LiveState-powered Web Component into WordPress Blocks. The example focuses on creating a simple chat room component (`<chat-room>`) and demonstrates how it can be integrated and configured within WordPress. The article includes detailed steps for setting up the development environment, writing the necessary Elixir and JavaScript code, and handling WordPress Block attributes. The result is a functional WordPress plugin capable of real-time interaction via a Phoenix channel.
