  3 | ## Quintessential Responsive 3D CSS Cube
  4 | 
  5 | _Created by [@zacharyjohnson](http://twitter.com/zacharyjohnson) — [zachstronaut.com](http://www.zachstronaut.com/)_
  6 | 
  7 | Hello web friend! The styles defined in `"src/qube.css"` provide you with an ideal way to create 3D CSS3 cubes that are exceptionally easy to work with and very extensible.
  8 | 
  9 | ### Examples / Demo
 10 | 
 11 | [View the Examples / Demo](https://zachstronaut.github.io/quintessential-css-cube/)
 12 | 
 13 | ### Features
 14 | 
 15 | 1.  **Flexible markup!** &mdash; Build your cubes using `<div>` tags, `<ul> <li>`, or whatever markup you prefer.  And, put your cube faces in whatever source order you need by using face classes.
 16 | 
 17 |   ```html
 18 |   <div class="qube-perspective">
 19 |   	<!-- Your first cube! -->
 20 |   	<ul class="qube my-cube">
 21 |   		<li class="front"></li>
 22 |   		<li class="left"></li>
 23 |   		<li class="back"></li>
 24 |   		<li class="right"></li>
 25 |   		<li class="top"></li>
 26 |   		<li class="bottom"></li>
 27 |   	</ul>
 28 |   </div>
 29 |   ```
 30 | 
 31 | 2.  **Specify the size and color/texture of your cube with _just two_ simple CSS rules.**
 32 | 
 33 |   ```css
 34 |   /* Make your cube red and 200 x 200 x 200px */
 35 |   .my-cube {
 36 |   	width: 200px;
 37 |   	height: 200px;
 38 |   }
 39 | 
 40 |   	.my-cube > * {
 41 |   		background: red;
 42 |   	}
 43 |   ```
 44 | 
 45 | 3.  **Automatic flat shading!** &mdash; Your cubes will automatically get basic shading, regardless of the color, image texture, or HTML content you define for the cube faces. _(This can be easily customized or disabled entirely with: `.qube.no-shading`)_
 46 | 
 47 |   ![Rotating Shaded Cube](http://zachstronaut.github.io/quintessential-css-cube/images/brick-shaded.gif)
 48 | 
 49 | 4.  **Create responsively resizing cubes!** &mdash; Really easy with the surprisingly well supported CSS [viewport units](http://caniuse.com/#search=viewport%20unit).
 50 | 
 51 |   ```css
 52 |   /* This responsive cube will be 25% of the viewport width */
 53 |   .my-viewport-responsive-cube {
 54 |   	width: 25vw;
 55 |   	height: 25vw; /* Cubes need 1:1 ratio! */
 56 |   }
 57 |   ```
 58 | 
 59 |   For more conventional responsive design, you can set your cube's width and height to a percentage of its parent element.  (By default, `.qube` is actually 100% width and 100% height.) _However,_ some care must be taken to make sure that the container element maintains a 1:1 aspect ratio.
 60 | 
 61 |   ```html
 62 |   <div class="qube-perspective one-half">
 63 |   	<div class="qube">
 64 |   		... faces ...
 65 |   	</div>
 66 |   </div>
 67 |   ```
 68 | 
 69 |   ```css
 70 |   .one-half {
 71 |   	position: relative;
 72 |   	width: 50%;
 73 |   	padding-top: 100%;
 74 |   	/* Sets height to 100% of width, forcing a 1:1 aspect ratio */
 75 |   }
 76 |   
 77 |   	.one-half .qube {
 78 |   		/* Center this cube in the parent */
 79 |   		position: absolute;
 80 |   		left: 0;
 81 |   		right: 0;
 82 |   		top: 0;
 83 |   		bottom: 0;
 84 |   		margin: auto;
 85 | 
 86 |   		/* Each of this cube's faces will be
 87 |   		   a responsive 25% of the parent */
 88 |   		width: 25%;
 89 |   		height: 25%;
 90 |   	}
 91 |   ```
 92 | 
 93 | 5.  **Easily rotate your cube along the X, Y, or Z-axis!** &mdash; Your cube will neatly rotate about its center.
 94 | 
 95 |   ```css
 96 |   .my-cube {
 97 |   	transition: transform 1500ms ease;
 98 |   }
 99 |   
100 |   	.my-cube:hover {
101 |   		transform: rotateY(359deg);
102 |   	}
103 |   ```
104 | 
105 | 6.  **Optionally, you can skip the face name classes.** &mdash; Use `.qube.faces` to turn your elements into faces automatically. **Note:** This _does_ dictate the source order of your cube faces.
106 | 
107 |   ```html
108 |   <ul class="qube faces my-automatic-cube">
109 |   	<li>My front</li>
110 |   	<li>My left</li>
111 |   	<li>My back</li>
112 |   	<li>My right</li>
113 |   	<li>My top</li>
114 |   	<li>My bottom</li>
115 |   </ul>
116 |   ```
117 | 
118 | 7.  **Handy utilities and optimizations!** &mdash; Use `.qube-perspective` on a parent element to setup your 3D viewport. Use `.qube-preserve3d` as a shortcut if you need it.  Use `.qube.solid` as an optimization when your cube is not semi-transparent, and you are not displaying the inside of your cube.
119 | 
120 | 8.  **Customize individual cube faces!** &mdash; It's a snap to change the color or other styles of a single cube face. You can even skip a cube face so people can peek inside.
121 | 
122 |   ```css
123 |   /* Make just the front blue */
124 |   .my-cube > .front {
125 |   	background: blue;
126 |   }
127 |   ```
128 | 
129 |   ```html
130 |   <ul class="qube my-peekaboo-cube">
131 |   	<!-- Skipped the front so we can look inside -->
132 |   	<li class="left"></li>
133 |   	<li class="back"></li>
134 |   	<li class="right"></li>
135 |   	<li class="top"></li>
136 |   	<li class="bottom"></li>
137 |   </ul>
138 |   ```
139 | 
140 | ### Usage
141 | 
142 | Download this GitHub project, add the `"src/qube.css"` or `"src/qube.min.css"` CSS file to your project, and include the file in your `<head>`.
143 | 
144 | ```html
145 | <link href="/my/path/qube.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
146 | ```
147 | 
148 | Define your cube using your preferred markup. **Note:** If you do not use `.qube-perspective` it will be important to establish your own CSS `perspective` settings or your cubes will look flat.
149 | 
150 | ```html
151 | <div class="qube-perspective">
152 | 	<div class="qube my-cube">
153 | 		<div class="front">Hey!</div>
154 | 		<div class="left">Howdy!</div>
155 | 		<div class="back">Hi!</div>
156 | 		<div class="right">Hello!</div>
157 | 		<div class="top">Foo</div>
158 | 		<div class="bottom">Bar</div>
159 | 	</div>
160 | </div>
161 | ```
162 | 
163 | Style your cube.
164 | 
165 | ```css
166 | /* Create a 200 by 200 by 200px cube... */
167 | .my-cube {
168 | 	width: 200px;
169 | 	height: 200px;
170 | 	/* (It is a CUBE, so the width/height are EQUAL.) */
171 | }
172 | 
173 | 	/* ...that is red. */
174 | 	.my-cube > * {
175 | 		background: #f00;
176 | 	}
177 | ```
178 | 
179 | ### Browser Support
180 | 
181 | *  Tested in Chrome 16+, Firefox 10+, Safari 5+, Android 3+, and iOS 4+
182 | *  Compatible with browsers that fully support [CSS3 3D Transforms](http://caniuse.com/#search=3d%20transform).
183 | 
184 | ### Intro to 3D CSS3 (Helpful Prerequisites)
185 | 
186 | I recommend that you read this very helpful [intro to 3D CSS3 properties](http://24ways.org/2010/intro-to-css-3d-transforms) and this [CSS cube reference](http://desandro.github.io/3dtransforms/docs/cube.html).  You are going to have a lot fewer headaches if you already understand how and when to use these CSS properties:
187 | 
188 | *  `perspective: 1234px;`
189 | *  `transform-style: preserve-3d;`
190 | *  `transform: translateZ(0);`
191 | 
192 | ### Change Log
