Aludra

Yes. Aludra is a theme-neutral block library and works with any WordPress theme — FSE, block, or classic. It is used across the Imagewize block themes (Elayne, Aviendha), and blocks reference theme color presets with fallbacks so they render correctly everywhere.

Each block has isolated dependencies and must be built separately: ` cd blocks/carousel && npm install && npm run build cd blocks/mega-menu && npm install && npm run build cd blocks/slide && npm install && npm run build ` For development mode with watch: cd blocks/[block-name] && npm start

Yes, the build/ directories are committed to the repository for Packagist distribution, so users get working blocks without needing to run build commands.

Yes, the carousel block uses Slick Carousel which is highly customizable. You can extend the block to add additional Slick settings through the block attributes.

Yes, the mega menu block includes full keyboard navigation support, outside-click dismissal, and proper focus management for accessibility.

It's WordPress's official frontend reactivity system. The mega menu block uses it for modern, reactive user interactions without heavy JavaScript frameworks.

row timing/positions are fixed to match the reference design * Respects prefers-reduced-motion Stat Rail Block * Full-width band of big-number stats with captions, for the seam between a hero and the rest of the page * Equal-width columns via CSS grid, so the layout isn't locked to a fixed item count * Dark band by default, with a "Light band" style for light-ground themes — both draw their colors from the active palette * Built from InnerBlocks — add or remove stat items freely; parent of the Stat Item block Stat Item Block * Single big-number stat with a caption, used inside Stat Rail * Optional "highlight" toggle to render the number in the theme's accent color * Number and caption colors set independently from the theme palette, or a custom value * The number can render as a heading (H1-H6) where the rail is a real section of the page, or as plain text (the default) * Only valid inside the Stat Rail block Spine Section Block * Page section with a sticky label/heading/aside column on the left and its content on the right * Wraps any block as its content — nested Aludra section blocks have their own page shell suppressed so both columns align * Collapses to a single stacked column (sticky disabled) below 860px * Optional tinted background, and a tunable sticky offset via the --aludra-spine-top custom property Key Features Theme Neutral - Works with any WordPress theme;
