Fork Notice

Aiming to turn codrops awesome work into an easy to use package! Really, their work never ceases to amaze me. Check them out here: https://tympanus.net/codrops/

BookBlock

A jQuery plugin that will create a booklet-like component that let's you navigate through its items by flipping the pages.

article on Codrops

original demo

Stay tuned for new demo ...

While I've made some improvements, they're not at the same quality level.

• Images will now load "on demand". So, you're book could be a thousand images and you'll no longer have to worry about being able to load them all at once.
• History API now has basic support.
• Images and container will resize on window resize.

Usage

Testing

git clone https://github.com/paxperscientiam/BookBlock
cd BookBlock
pnpm i && pnpm run start

With the above, fuse-box should start a server.

Javascript project

If you're not concerned with conflicts, then you could simply use prebuilt files dist/*-bookblock.js and dist/*-shims.js (which contains the aforementioned dependencies).

Alternatively, you could use dist/*-bookblock.js, src/js/jquerypp.custom.js, src/js/modernizr.custom.js, and include your own copy of jquery.

Typescript project

It'll depend on your build tool somewhat, but here is what I do with FuseBox

import "@paxperscientiam/bookblock"

Again, you can either use the prebuild *-shims.js, or import jquerypp.custom.js and modernizr.custom.js.

BookBlock Configuration Options

// tslint:disable-next-line
interface BookBlockPluginEffectsSettings {
    // Add shadow around book
    bordershadow: boolean
    // Additional paper effect
    paper: boolean
}

// tslint:disable-next-line
interface BookBlockPluginSettings {
    // does nothing
    _dummy: boolean // false

    // autoplay. If true it overwrites the circular option to true
    autoplay?: boolean // false

    // if we should show the first item after reaching the end
    circular?: boolean // false

    // easing for the flip transition
    easing?: string // "ease-in-out"

    // the space around the image in percent
    gutter?: number // 0

    // History API
    history?: boolean // false

    // time (ms) between page switch, if autoplay is true
    interval?: number // 3000

    // ltr (left to right) or rtl (right to left)
    ltr?: boolean // true

    // if we want to specify a selector that triggers the next() function. example: ´#bb-nav-next´
    nextEl?: string // "#bb-nav-next"

    // vertical or horizontal flip
    orientation?: string

    // if we want to specify a selector that triggers the prev() function
    prevEl?: string // "#bb-nav-prev"

    shadowFlip?: number

    // opacity value for the "shadow" on both sides (when the flipping page is over it)
    // value : 0.1 - 1
    shadowSides?: number

    // if set to true, both the flipping page and the sides will have an overlay to simulate shadow
    shadows?: boolean

    // speed for the flip transition in ms
    speed?: number

    // page to start on (1-based)
    startPage?: number

    // graphical flourishes
    effects: BookBlockPluginEffectsSettings

    // callback after the flip transition
    // old is the index of the previous item
    // page is the current item´s index
    // isLimit is true if the current page is the last one (or the first one)
    onEndFlip?: (a, b, c: boolean) => boolean

    // callback before the flip transition
    // page is the current item´s index
    onBeforeFlip?: (a) => boolean
}

Usage examples

Example (see example for more info)

<div>
		<h3>Illustrations by <a href="http://dribbble.com/kevinhowdeshell">Kevin Howdeshell</a></h3>
		<div id="bb-bookblock" class="bb-bookblock">
				<div class="bb-item">
						<a href="#"><img src="images/demo1/1.jpg" alt="image01"/></a>
				</div>
				<div class="bb-item">
						<a href="#"><img src="images/demo1/2.jpg" alt="image02"/></a>
				</div>
		</div>
		<nav class="bb-nav-container">
				<a id="bb-nav-first" href="#" class="bb-nav bb-icon bb-icon-first">
            First page</a>
				<a id="bb-nav-prev" href="#" class="bb-nav bb-icon bb-icon-arrow-left">Previous</a>
				<a id="bb-nav-next" href="#" class="bb-nav bb-icon bb-icon-arrow-right">Next</a>
				<a id="bb-nav-last" href="#" class="bb-nav bb-icon bb-icon-last">Last page</a>
		</nav>
</div>
<script>
  $(function () {
      const bookBlockOptions = {
          circular: true
          // etc
      }
      const sexy = $( "#bb-bookblock" ).bookBlock(bookBlockOptions)
  });
</script>

Notes

Newest feature is support for History API [0.2.0]

Plugin now accepts the boolean option history (default value is false). Enabling this will add a queryField to the current URI and allow you to bookmark any page of your BookBlock book.

Breaking change in build process [0.1.0]

OK, so now the dist folder filenames are hashed. Please adjust your build process accordingly.

Note

The production file dist/*-bookblock.js is the BookBlock code. The demo uses the file dist/*-shims.js, which includes the necessary dependencies: src/modernizr.custom.js, src/jquerypp.custom.js, and jquery.
