A flipBox based on the W3C example

flipBox creates a box that flips from back to front and inversely

updateFlipBox programmatically toggles a flipBox from the server.

flipBox(id, front, back, trigger = c("click", "hover"), width = 6)

updateFlipBox(id, session = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain())

Arguments

id	flipBox id.
front	ui for the front of the flip box
back	ui for the back of the flip box
trigger	How to trigger rotate effect. Either click or hover. Default to click.
width	flipbox width. Between 1 and 12.
session	Shiny session object.

Details

To access the state of the flipbox use the input alias input$<id>. For example, if your flipBox's id is myawesomeflipbox, you can access its state via input$myawesomeflipbox where TRUE corresponds to the front, FALSE to the back.
