You can install the latest version using npm:
npm install react-pageflip
``jsx
import HTMLFlipBook from 'react-pageflip';
function MyBook(props) {
return (
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
Page 4
);
}
`
You can define pages as a component, but in this case you should use React.forwardRef method. Like this:
` {props.children} Page number: {props.number}jsx
const Page = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
return (
/ ref required /
Page Header
);
});
function MyBook(props) {
return (
);
}
`
To set configuration use these props:
- width: number - requiredheight: number
- - requiredsize: ("fixed", "stretch")
- - default: "fixed" Whether the book will be stretched under the parent element or notminWidth, maxWidth, minHeight, maxHeight: number
- You must set threshold values with size: "stretch"drawShadow: bool
- - default: true Draw shadows or not when page flippingflippingTime: number
- (milliseconds) - default: 1000 Flipping animation timeusePortrait: bool
- - default: true Enable switching to portrait modestartZIndex: number
- - default: 0 Initial value to z-indexautoSize: bool
- - default: true If this value is true, the parent element will be equal to the size of the bookmaxShadowOpacity: number [0..1]
- - default: 1 Shadow intensity (1: max intensity, 0: hidden shadows)showCover: boolean
- - default: false If this value is true, the first and the last pages will be marked as hard and will be shown in single page modemobileScrollSupport: boolean
- - default: true disable content scrolling when touching a book on mobile devicesswipeDistance: number
- - default: 30 (px) minimum distance to detect swipeclickEventForward: boolean
- - default: true forwarding click events to the page children html elements (only for a and button tags)useMouseEvents: boolean
- - default: true using mouse and touch events to page flippingrenderOnlyPageLengthChange: boolean
- - default: false (NEW on 2.0.0) if this flag is active, the book will be updated and re-rendered ONLY if the number of pages has changed
You can use the following events:
`jsx
...
function DemoBook() {
const onFlip = useCallback((e) => {
console.log('Current page: ' + e.data);
}, []);
return (
onFlip={onFlip}
>
/ ... pages /
)
}
`
Available events:
- onFlip: number - triggered by page turningonChangeOrientation: ("portrait", "landscape")
- - triggered when page orientation changesonChangeState: ("user_fold", "fold_corner", "flipping", "read")
- - triggered when the state of the book changesonInit: ({page: number, mode: 'portrait', 'landscape'})
- - triggered when the book is init and the start page is loaded. Listen (on) this event before using the "loadFrom..." methodsonUpdate: ({page: number, mode: 'portrait', 'landscape'})
- - triggered when the book pages are updated (using the "updateFrom..." methods)
Event object has two fields: data: number | string and object: PageFlip
To use methods, you need to get a PageFlip object. This can be done using React ref and pageFlip(): PageFlip method
For example - flipping to the next page:
`jsx
function DemoBook() {
const book = useRef();
return (
<>
ref={book}
...
>
/ ... pages /
>
)
}
`
