Add constructor option to build the card with the back face

[Delgan]

Hey!

Your library is very useful and the animation is really nice, thanks for sharing your work. 👍

I had one suggestion: would it be possible to add a new parameter to the FlipCard() widget to enable the card displaying the back face while first being built?
Sometimes, I need to re-create a whole page of my application using a past state, and being able to initialize the card based on its previous state would be pretty useful.

What do you think?

Sorry, I am not sure I get your point. Do you mean?
You have built a FlipCard:

FlipCard(front: A, back: B)

And sometimes you wanna render

FlipCard(front: B, back: A)

Or

FlipCard(front: A, back: B, side: previous_state)

[Delgan]

@fedeoo I'm interested by:

FlipCard(front: A, back: B, side: previous_state)

I can already reverse the constructor using FlipCard(front: B, back: A) but this implies the animation will be executed in the wrong direction.

@Delgan Is there still a need for this feature or can I close this issue?

[Delgan]

Hi @BrunoJurkovic. I still believe that this would be quite a useful feature to add to this library. 👍

But it's not a big deal, I can live without it. ;)

Thanks for letting me know, would you be interested in making a pull request with the said feature or do you want me to write it? Either way works for me :)

[Delgan]

@BrunoJurkovic Ok, I'll try to take a look at it and (hopefully) open a PR this week-end. 😄

[BrunoJurkovic]

Perfect, thanks for your interest and I assure you it is much appreciated! Feel free to message here if you have any issues with implementing this :))

[BrunoJurkovic]

@Delgan Hey there, are you still planning to make this change or should I do it myself? Let me know :)

Hiya, Great package - thanks for the work on it! I would also like this feature, for the same reasons i.e. at build time I want the side that is initially showing to be determined by saved state.

[BrunoJurkovic]

Thanks for letting me know, expect a update soon @mchilvers :)

Brilliant - thanks!

@BrunoJurkovic Sorry I hadn't the time to look at it. 😬

Please give me a second chance this weekend (unless you really want to implement it yourself). 😁

[BrunoJurkovic]

Sure! Go ahead!
