/* Flip animation */

.flip {
  transform: rotateY(180deg);
}

.front,
.back {
  backface-visibility: hidden;
}

</style>

Step 3 – Add JavaScript

We use some external JavaScript link to this code. No need to worry about this, copy and paste below code between <head></head> tag.

<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js"></script>
</head>

And also copy and paste below JavaScript code between <script></script> tag.

<script>
var app = {
  settings: {
    container: $(".calendar"),
    calendar: $(".front"),
    days: $(".weeks span"),
    form: $(".back"),
    input: $(".back input"),
    buttons: $(".back button")
  },

  init: function () {
    instance = this;
    settings = this.settings;
    this.bindUIActions();
  },

  swap: function (currentSide, desiredSide) {
    settings.container.toggleClass("flip");

    currentSide.fadeOut(900);
    currentSide.hide();

    desiredSide.show();
  },

  bindUIActions: function () {
    settings.days.on("click", function () {
      instance.swap(settings.calendar, settings.form);
      settings.input.focus();
    });

    settings.buttons.on("click", function () {
      instance.swap(settings.form, settings.calendar);
    });
  }
};

app.init();

</script>

At the end we will have something like this. You can change fonts, colors, backgrounds and all things that you want. Enjoy it.
