Slidey Panel

Description

Slidey Panel adds an off-canvas panel that slides in from the side of your site and opens from a block button placed in your content, templates or template parts.

The block uses a normal published page for panel content. Create a page with the blocks you want to show, then add the “Slidey Panel” block wherever visitors should be able to open it.

Add Slidey Panel to a block theme’s Header template to provide a compact menu button, then build its navigation with WordPress blocks in the panel page.

Well it quite simply works out of the box, is very simple to use, and goes like the clappers once published. I will be recommending this for all of my clients and probably tell a few friends about it too!Would be great to see some other features like multiple panels along the line.
