So, a key part of the landing page is to excite the viewer into signing up. To do this I need to get the main features of the app over to the user in a clean and simple way. To me, the best way I like to see features at a quick glance is in some simple cards so that’s what I will build.
Creating the basic outline for the cards in Angular is nice and simple. The HTML for the features component contains a main div and then each card contains a container, the example below only has 4 cards.
<div class="featuresMain">
<div class="fCardCont">
<mat-card class="fCardClass">
Feature
</mat-card>
</div>
<div class="fCardCont">
<mat-card class="fCardClass">
Feature
</mat-card>
</div>
<div class="fCardCont">
<mat-card class="fCardClass">
Feature
</mat-card>
</div>
<div class="fCardCont">
<mat-card class="fCardClass">
Feature
</mat-card>
</div>
</div>
.featuresMain {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin: 20px;
}
.fCardCont {
padding: 15px;
}
.fCardClass {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
Now I don’t want these cards to be boring and static so I think a neat idea would be to make them rotatable cards when the user hovers over them more info would be shown on the back.
w3 schools has a neat little example card for how to do the flip in CSS https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_flip_card.asp
The code didn’t need to change to much to get this working.
<div class="fCardCont">
<div class="fCardContInner">
<div class="fCardClass_front">
<mat-card class="card">
Front
</mat-card>
</div>
<div class="fCardClass_back">
<mat-card class="card">
Back
</mat-card>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.fCardCont:hover .fCardContInner {
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.fCardCont {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
perspective: 1000px;
}
.fCardContInner {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
transition: transform 0.8s;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
.fCardClass_front {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; /* Safari */
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.fCardClass_back {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; /* Safari */
backface-visibility: hidden;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.card {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
I like the overall feel of these cards and will use them going forward.
