Step 1: Including the Plugin and CSS Files
To start using the Ambre Flipbook plugin, you need to include the plugin JavaScript file and CSS file in your HTML file. You can download the plugin from the official website and extract the files to a folder in your project directory.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ambre-flipbook.min.css">

Create a container element to hold the flipbook. You can use any HTML element, such as a <div> or <span>. In this example, we will use a <div> element with the class flipbook-container.
<div class="flipbook-container"></div>Step 3: Creating the Flipbook Pages
Create separate elements for each page of your flipbook. These elements should be children of the container element. In this example, we will use <div> elements for each page.
<div class="flipbook-container">
<div class="flipbook-page">
<!-- content for page 1 -->
</div>
<div class="flipbook-page">
<!-- content for page 2 -->
</div>
<!-- add more pages as needed -->
</div>Step 4: Configuring the Flipbook
The Ambre Flipbook plugin requires some configuration to function properly. You need to specify the following settings:
container: the container element where the flipbook will be rendered.pages: an array of page elements.orientation: the orientation of the flipbook (eitherlandscapeorportrait).
Here is an example of how to configure the flipbook:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.flipbook-container').ambreFlipbook({
container: '.flipbook-container',
pages: ['.flipbook-page'],
orientation: 'landscape'
});
});Step 5: Styling the Flipbook
You can customize the appearance of the flipbook by adding CSS styles. The Ambre Flipbook plugin provides several CSS classes that you can use to style the flipbook and its pages.
Here is an example of how to add some basic styling to the flipbook:

border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.flipbook-page {
width: 500px;
height: 700px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
transform: rotateY(0deg);
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.flipbook-page flipped {

}Step 6: Testing the Flipbook
With all the steps complete, you can now test the flipbook by interacting with it. You can swipe left and right to turn the pages, and hover over the pages to reveal any hidden content.
