* Add animation for client-side pagination
This includes:
- Addition of animation state management in the frontend file to control the visual transition between pagination states.
- Introduction of new SCSS rules for the start and finish animations, ensuring a seamless and visually appealing pagination experience.
- Modification of the PHP logic to inject necessary HTML for the animation to be applied.
These updates aim to provide a more engaging and responsive interface for users navigating through product collection.
* Enhance accessibility for product collection navigation
This commit introduces several improvements to enhance accessibility and user experience. Specifically, it adds new context properties to manage accessibility messages during the navigation process, including messages for loading and when a page has loaded. These changes ensure that screen reader users receive appropriate feedback during navigation.
Changes made:
- Added `accessibilityMessage`, `accessibilityLoadingMessage`, and `accessibilityLoadedMessage` properties to the `ProductCollectionStoreContext`. These properties store messages to be announced by screen readers during different stages of page navigation.
- Implemented logic in the product collection store to update the `accessibilityMessage` during the start of navigation (showing a loading message) and upon completion (showing a loaded message).
- Utilized a technique to ensure that consecutive identical messages are still announced by screen readers, by appending a no-break space to the message if it is the same as the previous one. This follows a pattern similar to the `@wordpress/a11y` package.
- In `ProductCollection.php`, enhanced the block's HTML output to include these new accessibility messages and integrated them with the existing interactive data attributes. This ensures that the front-end components are fully prepared to handle these accessibility enhancements.
- Added a new `div` with `class="screen-reader-text"` and `aria-live="polite"` attributes, which dynamically displays the accessibility message based on the navigation state. This div complements the visual pagination animation with an accessibility-focused mechanism for announcing the page load states to screen reader users.
By addressing accessibility considerations with these enhancements, we're making Product Collection navigation more inclusive and user-friendly for all users.

* Allow user clicks under product collection's loading animation
This commit enhances the user experience of the loading animation for the product collection block. Changes include:
- Specifying `transform-origin: 0% 0%;` directly within the block's initial style to indicate the animation should start from the left
- Adding `pointer-events: none;` to allow user interactions with elements underneath the loading animation, thus improving usability by not blocking clicks.
Additionally, redundant `transform-origin` properties were removed from the `@keyframes` declaration to clean up the code and avoid unnecessary repetition. This simplification contributes to both the maintainability and readability of the stylesheet.

* Update scrolling behavior in product collection block frontend
This commit updates the scrolling behavior in the product collection block's frontend script.
Previously, the code focused on the first anchor or button within a product collection block. This approach was taken to maintain accessibility and ensure that the focused element was scrolled into view. However, this behavior has been changed to improve the user experience.
The updated code now directly scrolls to the first product in the collection. This is achieved by selecting the product using a new selector that targets the `.wc-block-product` class within the `.wc-block-product-template` of the specified `data-wc-navigation-id`. Once the product is selected, the `scrollIntoView` method is used with smooth behavior and start block alignment, offering a more visually appealing scroll effect.
This change enhances the user experience by smoothly directing attention to the beginning of the product collection, making it easier for users to browse products.
* Remove code related to animation
* Fix the issue related to pagination block rendering
- I have improved the code by breaking it into smaller functions
- Added unique `data-wc-key` to each anchor tag
* Enhance Product Collection Block with Interactive Prefetching
* Refine Prefetch Logic & other improvements
This commit further refines the prefetch logic and interactivity in the Product Collection block. It focuses on enhancing code clarity and improving the prefetch behavior based on user interactions.
Key changes include:
1. Renamed 'isPrefetchNextAndPreviousLink' to 'isPrefetchNextOrPreviousLink' in ProductCollectionStoreContext for better readability and accuracy.
2. Modified the scrollToFirstProductIfNotVisible function to accept a wcNavigationId as a parameter instead of a reference
3. Introduced checks for the existence of wcNavigationId in scrollToFirstProductIfNotVisible to prevent unnecessary executions.
4. Updated comments throughout frontend.tsx for enhanced clarity, explaining the prefetch logic and its triggers in detail.
5. Adjusted the logic in the navigate and prefetch functions to align with the new context structure and prefetch strategy.
6. In ProductCollection.php, updated data attributes to align with the revised prefetch strategy.
7. Refined the attribute setting in process_pagination_links function to correctly implement the updated interactivity and prefetch logic.
These changes aim to optimize the prefetch functionality, reduce unnecessary prefetching on initial page load, and ensure a smoother and more efficient navigation experience within the Product Collection block.

* Use wp_json_encode for data-wc-interactive attribute
This commit updates the `ProductCollection` class to use `wp_json_encode` for setting the `data-wc-interactive` attribute value. Previously, the attribute value was hardcoded as a JSON string. Now, by utilizing `wp_json_encode`, we ensure the JSON encoding is handled correctly by WordPress standards, enhancing readability and maintainability of the code.
