CSS on hover effect that uses Psuedo element overlaps the main element-CodePudding

Basically when I do a hover I want the effect to look like what is displayed below:

My site is here

Code is below disregard the !important:

    .cta-button-menu, .cta-button-menu::before {
        transition:all 0.3s linear !important;
        width: 120px !important;
        height: 50px !important;
        display: inline-flex !important;
        justify-content: center !important;
        align-items: center !important;
    }
    .cta-button-menu:hover {
        transform:rotateZ(-45deg) !important;
        background: #21B6CD !important;
        color: white !important;
    }   
    .cta-button-menu::before {
        content:"Book Now" !important;
        background-color:transparent !important;
        position:absolute !important;
        @include main-font($white, 16px !important, $font-bold !important);
      }
    .cta-button-menu:hover::before{
        transform: rotateZ(90deg) !important;
        background-color:#e72f54 !important;
        border:none !important;
    }

For some reason I cant get the blue button to overlap the red:before button. Can't figure it out

CodePudding user response：

Exchange the colors in .cta-button-menu:hover set background: #e72f54 and .cta-button-menu:hover::before set background-color:#21B6CD. Hope this works on your side

ul {
margin-top: 60px;
}
.cta-button-menu,
    .cta-button-menu::before {
      transition: all 0.3s linear !important;
      width: 120px !important;
      height: 50px !important;
      display: inline-flex !important;
      justify-content: center !important;
      align-items: center !important;
    }

    .cta-button-menu:hover {
      transform: rotateZ(-45deg) !important;
      background: #e72f54 !important;
      color: white !important;

    }

    .cta-button-menu::before {
      content: "Book Now" !important;
      background-color: transparent !important;
      position: absolute !important;
      @include main-font($white, 16px !important, $font-bold !important);
    }

    .cta-button-menu:hover::before {
      transform: rotateZ(90deg) !important;
      background-color: #21B6CD !important;
      border: none !important;

    }

<ul>
<li ><a  tabindex="0">Book Now</a></li>
</ul>

CodePudding user response：

You can achieve this using a transform and transform-style.

.cta-button-menu {
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
}

.cta-button-menu:hover::before {
  transform: rotateZ(90deg) translateZ(-1px);
}

Not supported in IE11.

@SinsiaM you got me thinking a bit on this and I just changed the following:

    .cta-button-menu:hover {
        transform:rotateZ(45deg) !important;
        background-color:#e72f54 !important;
        color: white !important;
    }   
    .cta-button-menu:hover::before{
        transform: rotateZ(270deg) !important;
        background: #21B6CD !important;
        z-index: 1;
        border:none !important;
    }
