What?

Improves the ListView component's props, which were a bit untidy, particularly the __experimental props:

  • __experimentalFeatures - which was first used to test some experimental features for List View that were being developed in the navigation editor. All of these features have either now been removed or are considered stable. This prop was true on every ListView instance in this project, so I think it's fine to remove the prop and consider and consider all the features tied to it as active by default (block settings menu).
  • __experimentalPersistentListViewFeatures - Similarly, this was used to make List View behave differently when the persistent sidebar was first introduced. The persistent sidebar is now the norm, so it seems fine to remove the prop. It was true (almost) everywhere, and with this PR all the features tied to it are active by default (windowing, and better block highlights).
  • __experimentalHideContainerBlockActions - this was used by the Widget editor to hide the Block Settings menu for widget areas. I don't think the way it works was ideal. Widget Areas already use the __experimentalToolbar: false block supports setting to hide the block toolbar and block settings menu in the editor canvas, so I've switched List View to use this as well.
  • showNestedBlocks - this was always true everywhere ListView was used, and I don't think there's any time a list view would be shown without nested blocks now. I think it'd be good to make it true by default.
  • ...props - I don't fully understand why this was there, it allowed any props to be set on ListViewBranch. I would expect it to be applied to the root element if anything. It was unused.

This also deprecates the old BlockNavigationDropdown component.

Why?

Code quality / DevEx.

List View itself is an experimental component, but I think it's worth improving the public API and looking at making it stable.

Testing Instructions

Everything should be the same as in trunk.

Tested this and couldn't see any regressions. It looks like the deprecations were handled and we've now reduced the complexity of the API considerably. Thank you 👏

These changes all make sense to me. My only concern (or question) is if we remove some of the experimental props and enable them everywhere, wouldn't that mean this PR is introducing breaking changes by enabling features by default? I can see that you've already updated the CHANGELOG though, just wondering if we should make this clearer? (Maybe they're already covered in the previous entries in the CHANGELOG?)

wouldn't that mean this PR is introducing breaking changes by enabling features by default?

@kevin940726 There's only one place where that would be the case - BlockNavigationDropdown and the __experimentalFeatures prop. It is an experimental prop, and usually the practice is not to note it in the changelog. This change will make the block settings dropdown visible by default for any user of BlockNavigationDropdown. I think enabling features is ok because introducing features is something we do anyway over the course of developing WordPress/Gutenberg. So I think it'd be more of an enhancement than a breaking change. In this case it's an enhancement for a component I just deprecated, so it is a bit odd.

All the other usages are in components aren't exported where the props were true anyway, so it wouldn't change anything.

Also the entire component is experimental. I reckon we should promote it to a full API. Why is it even experimental at all at this stage? It's heavily used.
