* Hello!
Is it possible to insert a Splide carousel with a shortcode?

* Hello, no sorry this plugin is a block only. It could theoretically be possible
but you would have to create the shortcode as this plugin does not provide one.

* Ok, I undestand
And how do you think I could do that?

* You would use something like `serialize_blocks()` passing in array, like this
for example:
* ```wp-block-code
$shortcode_content = serialize_blocks( array( 'cloudcatch/splide-carousel', array( 'interval' => 5000, 'breakpointTablet' => 1079, 'breakpointMobile' => 599, 'extensions' => array( 'autoScroll' => false, 'urlHash' => false ) ), array( array( 'cloudcatch/splide-carousel-item', array(), array( array( 'core/quote', array(), array( array( 'core/paragraph', array(), array() ), ) ), ) ), array( 'cloudcatch/splide-carousel-item', array(), array( array( 'core/quote', array(), array( array( 'core/paragraph', array(), array() ), ) ), ) ), array( 'cloudcatch/splide-carousel-item', array(), array( array( 'core/quote', array(), array( array( 'core/paragraph', array(), array() ), ) ), ) ), )) );
```
* Stick that in a shortcode using the `add_shortcode()` function.
* This is untested.
* It would be easier to create a new shortcode, enqueing Splide via CDN or other
means, and returning shortcode content that follows the proper structure splide
requires.
* Something like this:
* ```wp-block-code
function enqueue_splide_assets() { // Enqueue Splide CSS and JS from CDN wp_enqueue_style( 'splide-core-css', 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@splidejs/splide@4.0.7/dist/css/splide.min.css', array(), '4.0.7' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'splide-js', 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@splidejs/splide@4.0.7/dist/js/splide.min.js', array(), '4.0.7', true );}add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_splide_assets' );function splide_carousel_shortcode() { ob_start(); ?>
