Flipable QML Type

The following example shows a Flipable item that flips whenever it is clicked, rotating about the y-axis.

This flipable item has a flipped boolean property that is toggled whenever the MouseArea within the flipable is clicked. When flipped is true, the item changes to the "back" state; in this state, the angle of the Rotation item is changed to 180 degrees to produce the flipping effect. When flipped is false, the item reverts to the default state, in which the angle value is 0.

import QtQuick 2.0

Flipable {
    id: flipable
    width: 240
    height: 240

    property bool flipped: false

    front: Image { source: "front.png"; anchors.centerIn: parent }
    back: Image { source: "back.png"; anchors.centerIn: parent }

    transform: Rotation {
        id: rotation
        origin.x: flipable.width/2
        origin.y: flipable.height/2
        axis.x: 0; axis.y: 1; axis.z: 0     // set axis.y to 1 to rotate around y-axis
        angle: 0    // the default angle
    }

    states: State {
        name: "back"
        PropertyChanges { target: rotation; angle: 180 }
        when: flipable.flipped
    }

    transitions: Transition {
        NumberAnimation { target: rotation; property: "angle"; duration: 4000 }
    }

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: flipable.flipped = !flipable.flipped
    }
}

The Transition creates the animation that changes the angle over four seconds. When the item changes between its "back" and default states, the NumberAnimation animates the angle between its old and new values.

See Qt Quick States for details on state changes and the default state, and Animation and Transitions in Qt Quick for more information on how animations work within transitions.
