Perfect option if you need a solution that is well integrated with Gutenberg.
Thank you for a great little plugin. It handles slides really well and the block settings are intuitive and allows for a lot of style variations and layouts.
I have a few ideas on how to further improve it. Is is on GitHub? I’d like to do a PR to contribute some code.
Some ideas for improvement:
– allow the slides to pause on mouse hover over the arrows or pagination dots.
– enable custom navigation by allowing a custom element with the right css to listen for click events.
This slider operates as a block inserted on a page/post. It them accepts other Gutenberg blocks, (text, image, header, etc.) as content for the slider. All controls for the slider are on the block itself. Save as a pattern to repeat the configured slider on other pages.
This is a very simple yet flexible plugin. Highly recommended
I love how simple and straightforward it is. The block is really versatile. Support was great too when I made a post!
A great and simple plug-in. Exactly what I wanted.
