In this quick and easy tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a flip card using only Tailwind CSS. I’ll also use semantic HTML and a smooth 3D effect for a nice, interactive touch.
Let’s get flipping!
Create a Flip Card Using Only Tailwind CSS
I’m not going to focus a lot on the flip card’s appearance. I’ll let you handle that part.
Here’s the code, which you can also check out in Tailwind’s online code editor.
<article class="group h-80 max-w-80 bg-transparent perspective-midrange">
<div class="relative h-full w-full text-center transition-transform duration-500 transform-3d group-hover:rotate-y-180">
<section class="absolute flex h-full w-full flex-col justify-center gap-y-5 bg-blue-50 px-2 py-10 text-black backface-hidden">
<h2 class="text-2xl">Card Front</h2>
<p>...</p>
</section>
<section class="absolute flex h-full w-full rotate-y-180 flex-col justify-center gap-y-5 bg-amber-950 px-2 py-10 text-white backface-hidden">
<h2 class="text-2xl">Card Back</h2>
<p>...</p>
</section>
</div>
</article>
And here’s a small video with the result:
Watch Out for Accessibility
Flip cards are difficult to make fully accessible for screen readers and keyboard navigation. It’s not impossible to achieve, but I think you’ll need the help of JavaScript to make it work.
That’s a Wrap
I hope this post has helped you out.
