## Beschreibung

Simple block animations adds scroll-triggered animations to WordPress Gutenberg 
blocks without any coding required.

**Features:**

 * 7 animation types (fade, fade up/down/left/right, zoom in, slide up)
 * Customizable duration and delay
 * Works with all blocks (core, third-party, and custom blocks)
 * Lightweight (CSS + Intersection Observer)
 * No jQuery or heavy libraries
 * Accessibility-friendly (respects prefers-reduced-motion)

**Supported Blocks:**

Works with all WordPress blocks, including core blocks, third-party blocks, and 
custom blocks.

**Development:**

The source code for this plugin is available on GitHub: https://github.com/valentin-
grenier/simple-block-animations

The plugin uses npm and webpack to compile JavaScript and CSS files. Source files
are located in the `src/` directory, and compiled files are in the `build/` directory.

To build from source:
 1. Install dependencies: `npm install` 2. Build for production:`
npm run build` 3. Build for development: `npm run dev`

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/simple-block-animations/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ screen in WordPress
 3. Select any block in Gutenberg
 4. Open the block settings panel
 5. Find the „Animations“ section
 6. Enable animation and customize

## FAQ

### Does it work with any theme?

Yes! The plugin works with any WordPress theme that supports Gutenberg.

### Does it slow down my site?

No. The plugin uses native CSS animations and Intersection Observer API. Assets 
only load on pages with animated blocks.

### Can I use it with page builders?

It’s designed for Gutenberg blocks. It won’t work with Elementor, Divi, or other
page builders.

### Can I set default animations for my custom blocks?

Yes! Developers can add animation attributes to their block.json file. Add `isAnimated`,`
animationType`, `animationDuration`, and `animationDelay` attributes with your desired
defaults. The plugin will respect these values, automatically enabling animations
when the block is inserted. Available animation types: fade-in, fade-in-up, fade-
in-down, fade-in-left, fade-in-right, zoom-in, slide-up.

### Do the default duration and delay settings affect existing blocks?

No. Block attribute defaults are resolved when a block is inserted, so changing 
the defaults on the settings page only applies to blocks you add afterwards. Blocks
already in your content keep the values saved with them, which you can still change
individually in the block sidebar.
