react-card-flipper

A React card flipper component (built with React 16.2.0) that can be triggered by hover or click. Inspired from David Walsh's great tutorial.

Installation

Yarn:

yarn add react-card-flipper

npm:

npm install react-card-flipper --save

Current Browser Support

Initial testing via BrowserStack of a React app that simply renders the card component.

Getting Started

You can import react-card-flipper into your React app. The following is a bare bones example.

Important: The <ReactCardFlipper> component must have two <div> elements, one for the front and one for the back.

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import ReactCardFlipper from "react-card-flipper";
 
ReactDOM.render(
  <div>
    <ReactCardFlipper>
      <div>The cards front content goes here.</div>
      <div>The cards back content goes here.</div>
    </ReactCardFlipper>
  </div>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

Props and Options

The ReactCardFlipper component has 4 props it accepts that you can use to adjust how your card behaves.

Example:

render() {
  return(
    <div>
      <ReactCardFlipper width="300px" height="550px" behavior="click" levitate={true}>
        <div>
          <h3>Click me to learn more</h3>
        </div>
        <div>
          <p>You Clicked!</p>
        </div>
      </ReactCardFlipper>
    </div>
  )
}

Styling

Out of the box we provide very little styling aside from core styles like transitions to let you shape the design as you see fit. You can style your cards by passing className's as props. To style the card itself, you want to use innerCardClass, for the card container itself you would use a normal className. You can see a working example here or reference the following code snippet (this example is using react-jss):

<ReactCardFlipper
  width="300px"
  height="400px"
  behavior="click"
  className={classes.root}
  innerCardClass={classes.card}
>
  <div className="text-center">You can click me, go ahead... Try it.</div>
  <div className="text-center">Great job! You win person of the month.</div>
</ReactCardFlipper>
