Measured entry
eldora-card-flip-hover
hover-effect3dmotion on file
A client-side React image card distributed as a shadcn registry item. It uses local state and a timer to trigger a Tailwind-styled perspective flip on mouse entry, then resets automatically. It accepts a required image URL and renders that same image on both faces, with no provider or helper package.

Verdict
A compact, dependency-light effect that builds and mounts on its own, but it is closer to a decorative animation than a reusable content card. Adopt it when its fixed hover behavior fits, and expect to extend it for meaningful back content, touch and keyboard access, or motion preferences.
Use it if
- You need a decorative image tile that performs a brief flip when a pointer enters it.
- Your React project already supports Tailwind utility classes and arbitrary CSS properties.
- Using the same image on the front and back matches the intended effect.
Skip it if
- The reveal must work by keyboard, tap, focus, or an explicit control rather than mouse hover alone.
- You need distinct back-face content such as text, actions, or a second image.
- Your interface must respect reduced-motion preferences without modifying the component.
- You want the parent to control the flipped state or the reset timing.
Install
| Declared dependencies | react |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the component as a client-side React module and ensure Tailwind processes its utility classes and arbitrary perspective, transform, and backface rules. Supply a valid image URL. No context provider is required.
