Installation

You can install the latest version using npm:

npm install page-flip

Or download bundle from Github

Usage

If you've installed the package from npm, you should import PageFlip from page-flip package, or just use <script/> tag:

<script src="{path/to/scripts}/page-flip.browser.js"></script>

To create a new PageFlip object:

import { PageFlip } from 'page-flip';

const pageFlip = new PageFlip(htmlParentElement, settings);

// or if you're using a script tag and page-flip.browser.js:
const pageFlip = new St.PageFlip(htmlParentElement, settings);

htmlParentElement - HTMLElement- root element, where the book will be created

settings: object - configuration object.

To draw on a canvas, use loadFromImages:

pageFlip.loadFromImages(['path/to/image1.jpg', 'path/to/image2.jpg' ... ]);

To load page from html elements - use loadFromHtml:

pageFlip.loadFromHtml(items);

For example:

<div id="book">
    <div class="my-page" data-density="hard">
        Page Cover
    </div>
    <div class="my-page">
        Page one
    </div>
    <div class="my-page">
        Page two
    </div>
    <div class="my-page">
        Page three
    </div>
    <div class="my-page">
        Page four
    </div>
    <div class="my-page" data-density="hard">
        Last page
    </div>
</div>

const pageFlip = new PageFlip(document.getElementById('book'), {
    width: 400, // required parameter - base page width
    height: 600, // required parameter - base page height
});

pageFlip.loadFromHTML(document.querySelectorAll('.my-page'));

Use data-density="hard" attribute to specify page type (soft | hard) and define flipping animation.

    alert(e.data); // current page number
});
