• When we save a post, I wanted to know how to delete or remove the empty post meta. The empty field is also being kept in the post-meta table when I use the useEntityProp method. Is there any function like delete_post_meta which can be used to delete the meta fields when updating a post?

    function delete_empty_post_meta($post_id) {
        if (get_post_type($post_id) == 'post') {
            $post_meta = get_post_meta($post_id);
            foreach ($post_meta as $key => $value) {
                if (empty($value[0])) {
                    delete_post_meta($post_id, $key);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    add_action('save_post', 'delete_empty_post_meta');

    Something like this or witch function do you need?

    So I have to combine both?

    The sketch is the PHP solution to your question.

    I cannot infer from your question what you are doing with JS.

    I have register some meta

    function register_meta() {
      function blocks_register_meta() {
            register_meta( 'post', '_tour_gallery_images', array(
                'single' => true,
                'type' => 'array',
                'show_in_rest' => array(
                    'schema' => array(
                        'type' => 'array',
                        'items' => array(
                            'type' => 'number'
                        )
                    )
                ),
                'sanitize_callback' => "",
                'auth_callback' => function() {
                    return current_user_can( 'edit_posts' );
                }
            ) );
    
            register_meta( 'post', '_places_covered', array(
                'single' => true,
                'type' => 'string',
                'show_in_rest' => true,
                'sanitize_callback' => "sanitize_text_field",
                'auth_callback' => function() {
                    return current_user_can( 'edit_posts' );
                }
            ) );
        }
        blocks_register_meta();
    }
    
    add_action( 'init', 'register_meta' );

    This is the code for registering meta keys. Suppose any of the meta keys is empty I don’t want it to store it in the post meta.

    This is the frontend code

    	const { gallery_image } = attributes;
    	const [places, setPlaces] = useState("");
    
    	const postType = useSelect((select) => {
    		return select("core/editor").getCurrentPostType();
    	}, []);
    
    	const [meta, setMeta] = useEntityProp("postType", postType, "meta");
    
    	useEffect(() => {
    		upDateTheMeta();
    	}, [gallery_image]);
    
    	function upDateTheMeta() {
    		let ids = gallery_image.map((_image) => _image.id);
    		setMeta({ ...meta, _tour_gallery_images: ids });
    	}
