CSS API

You may need to specify the size of view port in your style sheet, directly to <flipbook> element, or to .viewport sub-element of flipbook.

If the size is horizontally long and singlePage prop is false (default), it displays two pages spread, suitable for desktop browsers. If it's vertically long, it displays single pages, suitable for smartphones.

There are some internal classes.

.viewport

A <div> element that contains everything but <slot>. <slot> is placed above .viewport.

.bounding-box

Approximate bounding box of the displayed images. Suitable to give box-shadow.

Browser support

Supports modern browsers and IE 11.
