gm-variables.less contains all the color palette with the color accent.
mixin.less contains some utilities.
material-color.less contains the material color variant based on gm-variables.less

You can download full package and check the demo folder for implementation example or you can use bower:

bower install material-cards

Demo files require Font Awesome

Material Cards must be used in conjunction with jQuery.

You can choose to use it as a jQuery plugin or not. Demos for both usages are available in the demos folder. Using it as a jQuery plugin easies the management of options, methods and events for full customization.

Inside the js/ folder you can find the two files: jquery.material-cards.js and jquery.material-cards.min.js

$('.material-card').materialCard(options);

options = {
    icon_close	   : 'fa-arrow-left', //string
    icon_open	   : 'fa-bars',       //string
    icon_spin	   : 'fa-spin-fast',  //string
    card_activator : 'click'          //string: click or hover
});

The icons are from Font Awesome, fa-spin-fast is similar to fa-spin but spin faster.

The default card_activator is the click event on button card, but you can also use hover (this option remove the button).

toggle: change selected material card state

$('.material-card').materialCard('toggle');

open: open selected material card

$('.material-card:eq(1)').materialCard('open');

close: close selected material card

$('.material-card:eq(2)').materialCard('close');

isOpen: check material card status, return true or false

if($('.material-card:eq(3)').materialCard('isOpen') === true) {
	// do something
}

• show.material-card: triggered immediately when the open instance method is called
• shown.material-card: triggered when the card becomes visible to the user (will wait the end of the CSS transitions)
• hide.material-card: triggered immediately when the close instance method is called
• hidden.material-card: triggered when the card has become hidden to the user (will wait for end of CSS transitions)

$('.material-card').on('shown.material-card', function (event) {
    console.log(event.type, event.namespace, $(this));
    //that return
    //shown material-card [article.material-card...]
});

var fullCardEvent = 'shown.material-card show.material-card hide.material-cards hidden.material-cards';
$('.material-cards').on(fullCardEvent, function (event) {
	//   do something
});
