A mini dependancy-less UI lib for flipping over DOM nodes. Flippant.js is a mini javascript and CSS3 library that lets you flip things over. It has zero dependencies, is easily customized, and exports a single function: flip.
Whys:
-
Flippant is tiny. It does just enough and no more. It has zero dependencies.
-
Flippant is easily customized. A couple of arguments, and CSS.
-
Flippant has a single function: flippant.flip. Use it to flip things!
How to use:
var front = document.getElementById('flipthis')
, back_content = "<h1>I'm the back!</h1>" // Generate or pull any HTML you want for the back.
, back
// when the correct action happens, call flip!
back = flippant.flip(front, back_content)
// this creates the back element, sizes it and flips it around.
// call the close method on the back element when it's time to close.
back.close()
// alternatively you can trigger a close event on the back element if you fancy.
var close_event = new CustomEvent('close')
back.dispatchEvent(close_event)
Two modes: card (the default), and modal.
back = flippant.flip(front, back_content, 'modal')
The back gets the default class of flippant-modal-dark for modal flips and flippant-modal-light for cards. These styles can be overriden or you can pass in your own class.
back = flippant.flip(front, back_content, 'modal', 'my-modal-classname')
The full API:
flip(element_to_flip, content_for_back, type(modal/card), classname_for_back) -> back_element
74.3% of the magic is in the css file. Override however you'd like.
“Installation”
Grab the JS and the CSS file. Use them. The JS file is a UMD package so require or commonjs it or just use it. It's not picky.
