cardsJS

Showing playing cards that are scalable in a browser is possible with cardJS. See the web site for some examples and the wiki for documentation.

I'm using the Vectorized Playing Cards 1.3 designed by Chris Aguilar, see the readme file for the details. The original SVGs are changed to not render in an A4 page, but to fit to size.

The change log is automatically produced with the help of semantic-release.

Getting started

cardsJS is available for Node.js and most modern browsers. Test it in your currrent browser with the online fiddler.

Install with npm

> npm install cardsJS --save

Browser

Include the package from the unpkg CDN

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://unpkg.com/cardsJS/dist/cards.min.css" />

<script src="https://unpkg.com/cardsJS/dist/cards.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Cards

Use the <img class='card' src='cards/id.svg'> HTML tag; where id is the identifier of the card. The id is composed of the rank and then the suit of the card, e.g. 'KS' is the King of spades. The suits are 'S', 'H', 'D' and 'C' for spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. The rank '10' of a suit x is either '10x' or 'Tx'.

The king of spades is rendered as <img class='card' src='cards/KS.svg'>.

Hands

Cards can be grouped into a hand. A hand is a <div class='hand'> containing the card(s). With an active hand, <div class='hand active-hand'>, moving the mouse over a card will move it veritically/horizontally to indicate that the card will be selected.

<div class="hand hhand-compact active-hand">
    <img class='card' src='cards/AS.svg'>
    <img class='card' src='cards/KS.svg'>
    <img class='card' src='cards/QS.svg'>
    <img class='card' src='cards/JS.svg'>
    <img class='card' src='cards/10S.svg'>
    <img class='card' src='cards/9H.svg'>
    <img class='card' src='cards/3H.svg'>
</div>

A hand can also be declared with the data-hand attribute, see Controlling the hand for more details. Also see Controlling the fan

<div class="hand active-hand"
     data-hand="flow: horizontal; cards: AS,KS,QS,JS,10S,9H,3H">
</div>
