Flexy Flip Cards

Responsive cards that flip. Built with React, Styled-Components, and CSS Grid. position: absolute not required.

Live Demo.

Quick Overview

Cards that flip are frickin' sweet. But, since they typically require developers to use set dimensions and position: absolute, they're a pain in the butt to style when you're not sure how much space you'll have (i.e., responsive design) or need (i.e., rendering random data). Not anymore. Flexy FlipCards, inspired by React Flip Card, don't care what you put in them. Check it out.

Install

npm install --save flexy-flipcards

Instructions

1. FlexyFlipCard Requires Exactly Two Children ...The first child will be rendered on the front of the card. The second child will be rendered on the back.

2. Set ref='flipper' Somewhere in Each Child ...The card component will search through your component tree and add an onClick funtion to whatever component has ref='flipper'

Example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { FlexyFlipCard } from 'flexy-flipcards';

class App extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <FlexyFlipCard
                frontBackgroundColor="#B96aC9"
                backBackgroundColor="#231b1b"
            />
                <div>
                {/* Pass in whatever you want to be rendered on the front side of the card. Just make sure that somewhere in the component subtree, one child has a ref='flipper' attribute. An 'onClick' function will be added to it. */}
                </div>
                <div>
                {/* Pass in whatever you want to be rendered on the back side of the card. Just make sure that somewhere in the component subtree, one child has a ref='flipper' attribute. An 'onClick' function will be added to it. */}
                </div>
