## Beschreibung

BlockCrate adds twenty-four blocks to the WordPress block editor. Each one is built
on
 the editor’s own design tools rather than a parallel set of controls, so colour,
typography, spacing, borders and shadows come from your theme and behave the way
core blocks do.

The blocks work before their JavaScript loads. The accordion is a native
 details
element, the carousel is a scroll-snap strip, the progress bar renders at its final
value, and the tabs fall back to a plain stack of labelled sections. Scripts only
ever upgrade what is already there.

**Blocks**

 * **Accordion** — collapsible panels holding any other blocks. Uses native
    details
   elements, so keyboard support, screen reader semantics and find-in-page expansion
   come from the browser. Panels can open one at a time with no JavaScript at all.
 * **Tabs** — horizontal or vertical tabbed panels following the WAI-ARIA tabs
    
   pattern, including roving tabindex and arrow key navigation.
 * **Testimonial Grid** — testimonials as a responsive grid or a carousel, with
   
   star ratings, avatars from the media library, and initials as a fallback.
 * **Countdown** — counts down to a date and time, with selectable units and a
    
   choice of what happens when it ends.
 * **Info Box** — an icon or image with a heading, text and link. The whole card
   
   can be made clickable while keeping one meaningful link for screen readers.
 * **Pricing Table** — plans side by side, each with a price, a multi-line
    description,
   a feature list and a call to action. Accent colour, card background, borders,
   corner radius, padding, price size and the button style are all adjustable. One
   plan can be highlighted, and the badge that names why carries the meaning so 
   it is not left to colour alone.
 * **Progress Bar** — a labelled bar that fills when it scrolls into view, and
    
   respects a reduced motion preference.
 * **Image Slider** — images in a swipeable slider, one or several at a time,
    each
   with an optional caption and link. The frame shape, the crop and where the caption
   sits are all adjustable. It can advance on its own, and when it does it pauses
   on hover and on keyboard focus and never runs at all for a visitor who has asked
   for reduced motion.
 * **Page Slider** — your published pages, or any other public post type, in a
    
   slider built from a live query rather than a copy. Each slide carries the featured
   image, title and excerpt, and the page it sits on drops out of its own results.
   Rendered on the server, so it never goes stale.
 * **Table of Contents** — a linked list of the page’s headings, rebuilt from the
   
   saved content on every view so it never goes stale. Headings without an anchor
   are given one automatically. Optional numbering and collapsing.
 * **Timeline** — dated milestones or numbered steps, on one side or
    alternating,
   each entry holding any blocks.
 * **Comparison Table** — plans or products feature by feature. Type yes or no
    
   in a cell for a tick or a cross; any other text shows as written. One column 
   can be highlighted, and a wide table scrolls on a phone.
 * **Before / After** — two images with a draggable divider. The divider is a
    native
   slider, so arrow keys work, and without JavaScript the images sit at a fixed 
   split.
 * **Number Counter** — a headline statistic that counts up as it scrolls into
    
   view. Screen readers hear only the final number.
 * **Flip Card** — turns over on hover or keyboard focus to reveal more detail
    
   and a button on its back.
 * **Animated Headline** — a heading whose highlighted word rotates, slid,
    faded
   or typed in. Assistive technology reads one plain sentence.
 * **Notice** — a note, tip, success, warning or important callout holding any
    
   blocks, each type with its own icon as well as its own colour.
 * **Team Member** — a photo, name, role and bio, with the person’s social
    profiles
   through core’s Social Icons block. Initials stand in for a missing photo.
 * **Copy Code** — a coupon, licence key or command with a one-click copy
    button
   that announces itself to screen readers.
 * **Icon List** — a checklist or feature list with an icon on every item, in
    one
   to four columns.
 * **Marquee** — an endlessly scrolling strip of words for announcements or
    client
   names. Pauses on hover; still for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
 * **Star Rating** — a score as stars with fractional fills and a caption.
 * **Shape Divider** — a wave, curve, tilt, zigzag or peaks shape between two
    sections.
 * **Reading Progress** — a thin bar pinned to the top or bottom of the screen
    
   that fills as the visitor reads.

**Midnight style**

Every block can switch between a Classic look that follows your theme and
 **Midnight**,
a dark panel with gold accents. New blocks are inserted in Midnight; one click in
the editor’s Styles panel switches back. Content saved before the style existed 
keeps the look it was saved with.

**Section library**

A **Library** button in the editor’s top bar opens seventeen ready-made
 sections—
heroes, features, pricing, FAQs, testimonials, team, stats, calls to action and 
two full pages — with a live preview at desktop, tablet and phone widths. Insert
one and change the words. The sections ship inside the plugin and also appear in
the editor’s own Patterns tab; nothing is downloaded.

**Icon picker**

Info Box, Icon List and Flip Card pick their icon from a searchable grid of more

than 300 icons in twelve categories.

**Starting layouts**

Pricing Table, Testimonial Grid, Info Box, Team Member, Timeline and Comparison

Table open with a choice of starting layouts, each shown as a live thumbnail.

**Settings**

**Settings  BlockCrate** switches individual blocks out of the inserter, picks
 
whether new blocks start in Midnight or Classic, and sets the Classic accent colour
and corner radius for the whole site. A block switched off keeps working wherever
it is already used.

**Accessibility**

Interactive blocks are keyboard operable and expose the right roles and states.

Decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology, ratings are announced 
once rather than as a row of glyphs, and every animation is dropped when the visitor
prefers reduced motion.

### Source Code and Build Process

This plugin is fully open source (GPLv3 or later) and contains no obfuscated or

minified-only code.

**Where the source lives**

The human-readable source for everything in `build/` ships inside the plugin:

 * `resources/js/blocks/` — the editor bundle (TypeScript/React), one directory 
   per block
 * `resources/js/frontend/` — the front-end view scripts, one file per block
 * `resources/css/` — `style.css` (front end) and `editor.css` (editor chrome)
 * `app/`, `bootstrap/`, `config/` — all PHP, unminified
 * build/ contains nothing but the compiled output of those files.

**How to rebuild it**

The compiled output in `build/` is produced from the sources above with
 @wordpress/
scripts (webpack), PostCSS and Tailwind. Requires Node.js 18+:

    ```
    npm install
    npx wp-scripts build

    composer install restores the single PHP runtime dependency (PHP-DI) into
    vendor/. The webpack, PostCSS and Tailwind configuration files are kept out of
    ```

the distributed archive, as the plugin directory does not accept `.cjs` files in

a published plugin. They are standard `@wordpress/scripts` configuration and are
available from the author on request.

**Bundled third-party libraries**

All are MIT licensed and GPL compatible:

 * Embla Carousel 8.6.0 — https://github.com/davidjerleke/embla-carousel — powers
   the three carousels
 * clsx 2.1.1 — https://github.com/lukeed/clsx — class name helper
 * tailwind-merge 3.3.1 — https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge — class name
   helper

Icon picker glyphs are copied from Lucide 1.53.0 — https://lucide.dev — ISC licensed(
some
 icons MIT, from Feather), GPL compatible. The licence text is kept in resources/
js/blocks/components/icon-picker/lucide-icons.ts.

React and the `@wordpress/*` packages are not bundled; they are loaded from
 WordPress
core as registered script dependencies.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/blockcrate`, or install it from the Plugins
    screen.
 2. Activate it.
 3. The blocks appear in the editor under the **BlockCrate** category.

## FAQ

### Do the blocks work without JavaScript?

Yes. Every block renders usable content before its view script runs, and the
 scripts
only add enhancements such as dragging a carousel or animating a bar.

### Can I style the blocks with my theme?

Yes. The blocks use the editor’s colour, typography, spacing, border and shadow

tools, so they inherit theme.json settings. Frontend styles are driven by CSS custom
properties prefixed `--blockcrate-`, which a theme can override without !important.

### Does switching a block off break pages that use it?

No. A block switched off in Settings  BlockCrate only leaves the inserter. It
 stays
registered, so existing content keeps rendering and stays editable.

### Does the section library load anything from the internet?

No. Every section, icon and preview ships inside the plugin.
