1. Introduction
Brawding Slide Zoom is a custom-built WordPress carousel plugin developed in 2023 when I was working as a freelance developer.
It provides an elegant and responsive image slider with optional zoom functionality, designed for seamless integration into the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg).
The plugin is built using:
- PHP and the WordPress Plugin API for backend logic, plugin activation/deactivation, block registration and editing at the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg).
- @wordpress/scripts library that includes React inside, and JavaScript for interactive UI and block controls in both within the editor and within the post/page.
- SCSS for clean and modern styling.
Once activated, the plugin adds a custom Widget block to the editor, enabling users to:
- Insert, preview, and reorder images via DnD (drag and drop) at the sidebar with the native WordPress media selector.
- Customize carousel height and appearance directly in the sidebar.
- Navigate between slides using the previous/next arrow buttons.
- Enable optional auto navigation to cycle through images automatically.
- Zoom in on slides using both mouse wheel and tap interactions.
Whether you're showcasing galleries, product images, or featured visuals, Brawding Slide Zoom delivers a smooth, intuitive, and editor-friendly slider experience for WordPress websites.
