Loading front-end assets

[mrleemon]

Issue Overview

Just a small question. The register_block_type() function accepts an array of different arguments. One can use the editor_script and editor_style arguments to load assets just in the editor and the script and style arguments to load them in both the editor and the front-end. My question is: is there a way to load assets JUST in the front-end?

Thanks in advance

I resorted to enclose the frontend and editor wp_register_style() and wp_register_script() calls inside of a !is_admin() conditional statement. I don't know if there's a better way to do this, but this works for me.

It seems like a way to go until we introduce a comprehensive solution for the front-end assets. There have been some explorations for a related issue #5445 which should be continued after Gutenberg lands in WordPress core. There are some open PRs which are still in progress like #6166 or #6200. @kanishkdudeja can provide you more details.
