### Development
This plugin uses Laravel Mix (a wrapper around Webpack) to compile and bundle JavaScript
and CSS files for production.
#### Source Code
The original source code for all compiled JavaScript and CSS files can be found
at:
[https://github.com/miketropi/giftflow](https://github.com/miketropi/giftflow)
#### File Structure
In the `assets/js/` directory, the plugin follows this naming convention:
* `*.js` – Original, uncompiled source files (human-readable)
* `*.bundle.js` – Compiled/minified production files (generated by build process)
For example:
* `forms.js` Source file
* `forms.bundle.js` Compiled production file
The same pattern applies to all JavaScript files:
* `common.js` / `common.bundle.js`
* `stripe-donation.js` / `stripe-donation.bundle.js`
* `paypal-donation.js` / `paypal-donation.bundle.js`
* `grecaptcha.js` / `grecaptcha.bundle.js`
Only the `*.bundle.js` files are enqueued in production. The source `*.js` files
are included in the repository for transparency and to comply with WordPress.org
guidelines requiring human-readable source code.
#### Build Commands
To rebuild assets locally:
```
npm install - Install dependencies
npm run dev - Watch for changes and rebuild automatically during development
npm run build - Build for production (minified)External Services
```
This plugin relies on the following third-party services to provide its functionality.

By using these features, data may be transmitted to external servers. Please review
the terms and privacy policies of each service before enabling them.

browser loads the share URL with the page title and URL that the user chooses to
