## Description

Priority Nav extends the core WordPress Navigation block as a variation, implementing
the Priority Plus design pattern. It displays the most important navigation items
in the main menu bar and automatically moves overflow items into a “ More” dropdown
menu (default label: “ Browse” ) when horizontal space is limited.

Key Features:

 * **Automatic Overflow Detection**: Continuously monitors available space and adjusts
   navigation visibility
 * **Responsive by Design**: Adapts to any screen size or container width
 * **Customizable Styling**: Per-block dropdown menu styling via inspector controls,
   using CSS custom properties
 * **Customizable Labels**: Change the “ More” button text and icon
 * **Seamless Integration**: Works beautifully with WordPress themes
 * **Performance Optimized**: Uses ResizeObserver for efficient layout calculations
 * **Accessible**: Keyboard navigation and screen reader friendly

Perfect for sites with many navigation items that need to work across all device
sizes without compromising usability.

## FAQ

### How does the Priority Plus pattern work?

The Priority Plus pattern prioritizes the most important navigation items by keeping
them visible in the main navigation bar. When there isn’t enough horizontal space
for all items, less important items are automatically moved into a “ More” dropdown
menu. As the viewport width changes, items dynamically move in and out of the dropdown.

### Can I customize the “ More” button text?

Yes! In the block inspector panel, you can customize both the “ More” button label(
default: “ Browse” ) and choose from different icons: none (default), chevron down,
plus, or menu symbols.

### Does it work with nested navigation items?

Yes! Items with submenus in the dropdown are converted to accessible accordions 
that respect the Core Navigation “ Open submenus on click” setting.

### How does it work with WordPress’s responsive overlay menu?

Priority Plus Navigation intelligently integrates with WordPress core navigation
overlay menu settings:

 * **Never**: Priority Plus is always active across all screen sizes
 * **Mobile**: Priority Plus works on desktop and automatically disables when the
   hamburger menu activates
 * **Always**: Not compatible – Priority Plus is automatically disabled and the “
   Always” option appears greyed out in the editor

### Is it accessible?

Yes, the block is built with accessibility in mind, supporting keyboard navigation
and providing proper ARIA labels for screen readers.

### Can I style the dropdown menu?

Absolutely! The dropdown menu can be fully customized through the block inspector.
You can control:

 * Background color, item text color, and hover colors
 * Separate submenu colors for nested accordion items
 * Item spacing and hover effects
 * Multi-level navigation indentation
 * Box shadow, border radius, and item separators
