## Description

Basis Tables provides a modern table editor inspired by TablePress, with a focus
on speed and admin UX:

 * Inline editing: click any cell, type, and it saves automatically via AJAX without
   page reload
 * Context menu on right-click: copy/paste, add/delete rows/columns, duplicate, 
   set column values
 * Column visibility, header sorting, per-column filter icon in header
 * Modules system to toggle optional features
 * Accessibility: ARIA live region, keyboard shortcuts (Enter to save cell; Ctrl/
   Cmd+S for row), compact view

Developer-friendly:
 – Nonce-protected AJAX endpoints – Migrations ensure DB schema
integrity automatically – Debug logging built-in (toggleable): see AJAX requests
and errors in the console

 There
is currently no build step. The distributed files under assets/js and assets/css
are the original source.

For reviewers:
 – assets/js/admin.js – original source (no minification) – assets/
js/block.js – original source (no minification) – assets/js/frontend.js – original
source (no minification) – assets/css/admin.css – original source (no minification)–
assets/css/frontend.css – original source (no minification)

If a build pipeline (e.g., npm/webpack) is introduced in the future, this readme

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress
 3. Create a table via the Basis Tables menu and start editing

## FAQ

### Why don’t values save?

 * Ensure JavaScript loads in the admin (no console errors). Built-in logging prints`[
   BasisTables]` lines.
 * Nonces must be valid; reloading the page regenerates them. If you use persistent
   admin tabs, try a refresh.
 * The plugin self-heals DB schema on admin requests; if tables came from an older
   version, the schema will be upgraded.

### Does it work like TablePress?

We aim for a familiar UI. Some features are still in progress. Feedback welcome.
