Flexible Spacer Block

Description

Flexible Spacer Block switches the height of the spacer according to the device screen width (breakpoints).
This block has two variable breakpoints, and you can adjust the height of the spacer for smartphones, tablets, and desktops respectively.
The height of the spacers can be changed individually or in batches.
Also available to set “negative space (negative margin)” instead of the normal space.
And this block supports transform from and to core spacer block.

About negative space

Negative space” narrows the margins both blocks above and below the spacer, and it is also possible to overlap the blocks.
If unintended overlap occurs, add a CSS class named “fsb-style-show-front” to the block you want to show in the front.
To apply the CSS class to the block, click on the block on WordPress editor, and check the block settings on the right for the Advanced setting ,then enter the CSS class.

It can set margins for each screen width that cannot be set with the default block. It also supports negative margins. Easy to use.

I wish more people would release single, useful blocks like this instead of all those copy cat collections. Who really needs 5 accordion blocks? Only other thing I’d like to see in this is a way to set default initial heights like 75px desktop | 50px tablet | 25px phone etc. I was actually looking for a way to set a default height for the core spacer block when I stumbled on this.

I had a problem with the standard Spacer Block, wherein it breaks the format in mobile in our website. With Flexible Spacer, I can designate the size of the space per mobile device! Awesome, thank you for developing this plugin.
