x-card should support a "src" attribute

[cfjedimaster]

It would be cool if x-card could be sourced via XHR. So for example:

<x-deck>
    <x-card transition-type="slide-right" src="card1.html"></x-card>
    <x-card transition-type="slide-left" src="card2.html"></x-card>
    <x-card transition-type="fade-scale">2<span>I'm just inline.</span></x-card>

We have a panel that does that.

You can download it here.

Would that work as a drop in replacement for x-card? That would be cool. :)

You'll have to nest them like so:

<x-card>
  <x-panel src="page1.html"></x-panel>
</x-card>

I'm speaking hypothetical now - but I wonder if x-deck could be updated to
allow any block style tag.

The cards have some special functionality, so it's not possible to use any block element.
https://github.com/x-tag/deck/blob/master/src/deck.js#L143

However, hypothetically, you can create a new custom element that extends from x-card and add any special functionality you want.

For example:

xtag.register('x-super-card', {
  mixins: ['request'],
  extends: 'x-card'
});

In this sample, I'm using the same request mixin that is used in x-panel and extending from an x-card. The request mixin is called x-tag-mixin-request in Bower.
http://x-tags.org/docs#custom-tag-registration-mixins

I reviewed our x-deck code and it looks like it is hard coded to look for x-card in a few places so that's not good. I'll create a bug to improve the deck to make it more extensible, so this way of extending elements would work.

The goal in Brick 2.0 will be to allow any element to be a 'card' in a deck and remove the need for a specific card element. Right now this is not yet the case, so leaving this bug open to track.
