## Descripcion

Extrnd Block Slider adds a slider block for the WordPress editor with responsive
layout controls, navigation options, and accessible frontend output. It uses the
Embla Carousel library for touch-friendly scrolling and does not require jQuery.

**Key Features:**

 * **Small frontend assets** — streamlined JavaScript and CSS for frontend rendering
 * **Zero jQuery** — no jQuery dependency, not even transitively
 * **Gutenberg native** — configure everything inside the block editor, no admin
   pages
 * **9 presets** — Default, Hero, Gallery, Cards, Testimonials, Fullscreen, Logo
   Carousel, Coverflow, Fade
 * **6 transition effects** — Slide, Fade, Scale, Parallax, Coverflow, Flip with
   smooth scroll-based animations
 * **5 arrow styles** — Default, Rounded, Minimal, Outline, Circle
 * **5 arrow positions** — Sides, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Center, Outside
 * **5 pagination styles** — Dots, Lines, Dashes, Numbers, Outline
 * **3 pagination positions** — Bottom, Right, Left
 * **Progress bar** — thin scroll-based progress indicator
 * **Slide counter** — shows current/total slide count (e.g. 1 / 5)
 * **Navigation colours** — customise arrow background, arrow icon, dot, and active
   dot colours
 * **Responsive breakpoints** — desktop, tablet (≤ 1024 px), and mobile (≤ 768 px)
   slides per view
 * **Settings & Styles tabs** — organised into Settings (Preset, Layout, Playback)
   and Styles (Effects, Navigation, Colors) tabs
 * **Accessible** — full keyboard navigation, screen reader announcements, reduced
   motion support
 * **Developer friendly** — PHP filter (`extrnd_block_slider_options`) and JS hooks(`
   extrndSlider.options`, `extrndSlider.init`, `extrndSlider.slideChange`)
 * **Block transforms** — convert Gallery, Group, or multi-selected blocks to/from
   Slider
 * **Lazy initialisation** — sliders below the fold only initialise when scrolled
   into view
 * **Dynamic rendering** — PHP render callback ensures future-proof output with 
   zero block validation errors

**Presets:**

 * **Default** — standard full-width slider
 * **Hero** — 80 vh feature banner with fade transition
 * **Gallery** — multi-slide with 16 px gap
 * **Cards** — 3 visible slides with 24 px gap
 * **Testimonials** — centred single testimonial
 * **Fullscreen** — edge-to-edge 100 dvh
 * **Logo Carousel** — continuous-scroll brand logos
 * **Coverflow** — 3D coverflow effect
 * **Fade** — crossfade transitions
