You can install the latest version using npm:
npm install react-pageflip
import HTMLFlipBook from "react-pageflip";
function MyBook(props) {
return (
<HTMLFlipBook width={300} height={500}>
<div className="demoPage">Page 1</div>
<div className="demoPage">Page 2</div>
<div className="demoPage">Page 3</div>
<div className="demoPage">Page 4</div>
</HTMLFlipBook>
);
}
You can define pages as a component, but in this case you should use React.forwardRef method. Like this:
const Page = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
return (
<div className="demoPage" ref={ref}> /* ref required */
<h1>Page Header</h1>
<p>{props.children}</p>
<p>Page number: {props.number}</p>
</div>
);
});
function MyBook(props) {
return (
<HTMLFlipBook width={300} height={500}>
<Page number="1">Page text</Page>
<Page number="2">Page text</Page>
<Page number="3">Page text</Page>
<Page number="4">Page text</Page>
</HTMLFlipBook>
);
}
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 flippingYou can use the following events:
...
class DemoBook extends React.Component {
onFlip(data) {
console.log('Current page: ' + data);
}
render() {
return (
<HTMLFlipBook
/* props */
onFlip={(e) => this.onFlip(e.data)}
>
/* ... pages */
</HTMLFlipBook>
)
}
}
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 ref and getPageFlip(): PageFlip method
render() {
return (
<HTMLFlipBook
...
ref={(component) => (this.pageFlip = component)}
...
>
/* ... pages */
</HTMLFlipBook>
)
}
For example - flipping to the next page:
this.pageFlip.getPageFlip().flipNext();
