Flippant.js is a tiny, dependency-free JavaScript library for flipping over DOM nodes with CSS 3D transforms. It provides a single `flippant.flip` function that creates a back element (card or modal mode) which can be customized via CSS classes.

Use cases

• flip a card over to show details on the back
• create a modal that flips in from an element
• add 3D flip animations to DOM elements without a framework
• show extra content when a user clicks a tile
• customize flip animations with my own CSS classes

When to choose

• you need a minimal, zero-dependency flip effect
• you want full CSS customization of the animation
• you're adding card/modal flips to a plain JavaScript site

When to avoid

• you need a full UI component framework
• you need animations beyond flipping
• you need actively maintained software with a license
