## Description

ShelfBuilder Lite is a Gutenberg block plugin that lets you create curated, hand-
picked grids with full drag-and-drop ordering. Unlike query-based blocks that automatically
pull content, ShelfBuilder gives you complete control over which items appear and
in what order.

**How it works:**

 1. Add the ShelfBuilder block to any page or post
 2. Choose a content type (Posts, Pages, or custom post types)
 3. Pick specific items from a searchable, scrollable list
 4. Drag and drop to arrange them in your preferred order
 5. Customize the grid layout with sidebar controls

**Features:**

 * Drag-and-drop grid ordering with visual gap indicators
 * Searchable item picker with tag filtering
 * Customizable columns (1-6), gap spacing, and card max width
 * Image aspect ratio options (square, landscape, wide, portrait)
 * Text alignment controls (left, center, right)
 * Grid padding for centered layouts
 * Responsive design (2 columns on tablet, 1 on mobile)
 * Lightweight — no jQuery dependency, minimal CSS, zero frontend JavaScript

**Looking for WooCommerce support?**

[ShelfBuilder Pro](https://pixelsandpetals.net/product/shelfbuilder-pro) adds WooCommerce
products, product categories, product tags, pricing display, item counts, add-to-
cart buttons, hierarchical category browsing, and product tag filtering — all for
a one-time $1 purchase.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `shelfbuilder-lite` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Add the “ShelfBuilder Lite” block to any page or post using the block editor

## FAQ

### Does this work with the block editor only?

Yes, ShelfBuilder is a Gutenberg block. It requires WordPress 6.0 or later with 
the block editor enabled.

### Can I use this with WooCommerce products?

The Lite version supports Posts, Pages, and non-WooCommerce custom post types. For
WooCommerce product grids, product categories, pricing, and add-to-cart buttons,
check out [ShelfBuilder Pro](https://pixelsandpetals.net/product/shelfbuilder-pro).

### How many items can I add to a grid?

There is no hard limit. The item picker loads up to 200 items per content type, 
and you can select as many as you need.

### Does this add any scripts to my frontend?

No. ShelfBuilder renders pure HTML and CSS on the frontend with zero JavaScript.
The drag-and-drop editor interface only loads in the block editor.

### Can I have multiple ShelfBuilder blocks on one page?

Yes, each block is independent with its own content type, item selection, and layout
settings.
