:is(.wf-design-mode, .w-editor) .flick-group__item:nth-child(1) .flick-card__btn {
opacity: 1;
transform: translate(0%, 0%) rotate(0.001deg);
}
Implementation
Container
Place the [data-flick-cards-init]
attribute on the outermost wrapper (the “slider container”). The script will look for every element with this attribute and initialize a separate slider instance for each.
Note: Make sure to include at least 7 cards to enable drag interaction. Below 7, the cards will still position visually, but dragging will be disabled.
List
Add the [data-flick-cards-list]
attribute to the element that contains all card items.
Item
Each individual card should use [data-flick-cards-item].
These cards will be transformed and get positioned based on their index.
On load they also receive a [data-flick-cards-item-status]
attribute with one of the following values:
- Layer 1: "active"
- Layer 2: "2-before" / "2-after"
- Layer 3: "3-before" / "3-after"
- Hidden Cards: "hidden"
Use these status values to control visibility, pointer events, or z-index stacking in your CSS.
Drag Status
The root container will receive one of the following attributes during interaction. You can use this to change the cursor or visual state of the slider.
[data-flick-drag-status="grab"]
[data-flick-drag-status="grabbing"]
