jQuery flip effect with Flippy

Markup

First, add Flippy JS in your page. Be sure to have jQuery too !

The Flippy content need to be included in a container, this prevents random perspective effects with CSS :

            

            
                

                    Hello !
                
            
            
        

Simply call flippy() function

            $(".flipbox").flippy({
                color_target: "red",
                duration: "500",
                verso: "woohoo"
             });
        

If you want to reverse last flip, just use reverse() function.

            $(".flipbox").flippyReverse();
        

Options

• color_target : The targeted background color. (ex.: ‘aliceblue’, ‘#f0f8ff’ or rgba(33,133,197,.3) | default: ‘white’)
• recto : The content to show after a revert() action (default : the original content)
• verso : The content to show after the flip effect
• direction : The direction of the flip effect (‘RIGHT’, ‘LEFT’, ‘BOTTOM’, ‘TOP’ | default : ‘LEFT’)
• duration : How long the flip effect is during in ms (default : 300)
• depth : You can adjust the perspective effect (default : 0.12)
• light : You can adjust light and shadow intensity (default : 60)
• noCSS : You can force Flippy to NOT use CSS3 properties even if the browser support it (default : false)

Callbacks

You can attach function to specific events. Add your function like that.

            $(".flipbox").flippy({
                color_target: "red",
                duration: "500",
                verso: "woohoo",
                onStart: function(){
                    // Your code here
                }
             });
        

• onStart : The function triggered before the animation start
• onMidway : The function triggered at half animation
• onAnimation : The function triggered each time the Flippy is refreshed
• onFinish : The function triggered after the animation finish
• onReverseStart : The function triggered before the reverse animation start
• onRevereseMidway : The function triggered at half of reverse animation
• onReverseAnimation : The function triggered each time the Flippy is refreshed while reversing
• onReverseFinish : The function triggered after the reverse animation finish

Known issues

• The depth parameter has a strange effect when CSS rendering is used

Cross browser ?

The Flippy plugin works fine for every modern web browser except Internet Explorer 8 and before (of course…). In this demo I used the excanvas.js file to allow the use of canvas in older IE versions. You can find it here.
