Let’s discover together how to create a loading effect on our elements during an AJAX call, for example!
Step 1
Let's start with our HTML code.
HTML
<div class="card">
<div class="image">
<img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/01/21/16/17/english-cocker-spaniel-5937757_960_720.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="content">
<h2>Animal Protection</h2>
<p>Discover how to take action for animal protection.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card is-loading">
<div class="image"></div>
<div class="content">
<h2></h2>
<p></p>
</div>
</div>
Step 2
For this example, we will use Flexbox on our body tag.
CSS
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-around;
flex-wrap: wrap;
height: 100vh;
}
Step 3
Now, let's take care of the cards.
CSS
.card {
height: 379px;
width: 300px;
border-radius: 10px;
transition: all 0.8s;
overflow: hidden;
background: black;
box-shadow: 0 70px 63px -60px #000000;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
position: relative;
}
Step 4
So, we have our cards: let's integrate the white frame and its appearance on hover.
CSS
.border {
height: 369px;
width: 290px;
border-radius: 10px;
transition: all 1s;
position: relative;
}
.border:hover {
border: 1px solid white;
}
Step 5
We now have our cards and borders, but we only have black backgrounds... That's not very nice. Let's change that by adding photos to each card!
CSS
.card0 {
background: url('https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8f/a0/51/8fa051251f5ac2d0b756027089fbffde--terry-o-neill-al-pacino.jpg') center center no-repeat;
background-size: 300px;
}
.card0:hover {
background: url('https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8f/a0/51/8fa051251f5ac2d0b756027089fbffde--terry-o-neill-al-pacino.jpg') left center no-repeat;
background-size: 600px;
}
.card1 {
background: url('https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/d2/e6/28d2e684e7859a0dd17fbd0cea00f8a9.jpg') center center no-repeat;
background-size: 300px;
}
.card1:hover {
background: url('https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/d2/e6/28d2e684e7859a0dd17fbd0cea00f8a9.jpg') left center no-repeat;
background-size: 600px;
}
.card2 {
background: url('https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ee/85/08/ee850842e68cfcf6e3943c048f45c6d1.jpg') center center no-repeat;
background-size: 300px;
}
.card2:hover {
background: url('https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ee/85/08/ee850842e68cfcf6e3943c048f45c6d1.jpg') left center no-repeat;
background-size: 600px;
}
Step 6
Now, let's style our titles and icons.
CSS
.card h2 {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
color: white;
margin: 20px;
opacity: 0;
transition: all 1s;
}
.fab {
opacity: 0;
transition: all 1s;
}
.icons {
position: absolute;
height: 130px;
top: 226px;
width: 50px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-around;
}
a {
color: white;
}
Step 7
Now, let's make the icons and card titles appear on hover.
CSS
.card:hover h2 {
opacity: 1;
}
.card:hover .fab {
opacity: 1;
}
Bravo! We're done!
