## Description

Add scroll based animations to WordPress Gutenberg blocks.

#### Features

 * Choose from 76 cross-browser CSS3 animations or add your own
 * Preview animations in the editor
 * Adjust the animation duration, delay, scroll threshold, and offset

#### Settings

 * Duration: The speed of the animation in milliseconds.
 * Delay: How many milliseconds to wait before animating the element.
 * Threshold: Add animation when x% of the element enters the screen.
 * Start with opacity 0: Set the element to opacity 0 when the page loads. The option
   works for elements transitioning to 100% opacity through CSS.
 * Offset Top (available in the block’s advanced settings): Number of pixels to 
   offset the animated block from the top of the page. Useful when a page has a 
   fixed top navigation bar.
 * Class name “ab-animation-end” is added to the animated block after the CSS animation
   has ended. This class name can be used to add custom styles.

### Requirements

PHP 5.6+ is recommended, WordPress 5.0+, and Gutenberg must be active.

### Documentation

Select Animated Block from the Layout Elements group and add any content blocks 
within it. Select an animation from the dropdown list or add your own custom CSS
class. The selected animation or custom CSS class will be added to the block when
the user scrolls to it.

Animated Block is a parent block (a container), nesting as many blocks as you want.

 [James Monroe](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jhmonroe/) December 19, 2024

this is a great plugin for adding subtle effects to your site without the bloat 
of a whole GSAP/greenshift package with a million options. great for subtle effects
when page loads (or just after with a delay). will def use for adding subtle movement
to client sites. every plugin this developer does works well and simple with core
blocks. pay attention to his stuff! we need more like it. simple/elegant solutions
for the block and site editor
