Very often we need to separate a few little (or not so much) pieces of information to help them stand up and get the person's interest-- such as noting several valuable features presenting a list of short articles along with a small extract and a single strong image and so on and on.
We need a convenient resource to wonderfully cover our material in a lovely and flexible manner to have it wonderful and tidy shown on our webpages. In the recent version of the most popular responsive framework-- Bootstrap 3 we employed mostly the Bootstrap Panel Table, thumbnail and well elements delivering us box containers having a faint border, quite rounded corners and eventually-- a light 3d impact. In the latest Bootstrap 4 framework, these are no more. They get got substituted collectively by the card piece claiming to be worthy of pretty much everything the veterans might do but simply much better. It's time to get to know it better.
The cards are softly styled boxes capable of carrying almost any HTML content inside in addition featuring a many predefined styling choice for correctly showcasing its content. It in addition additionally can have a header and a footer.
If we want create a card we first need a .card
item to wrap the complete element up. Inside it distinct covers for the header .card-header
, the actual card content .card-block
and the footer .card-footer
should take place and while the header and footer are somewhat optional and may be left out if you don't want them the .card-block
is the important part-- it perfectly covers your content giving some slight padding near.
As discussed above the .card-block
comes to wrap the content leaving a pretty padding around it. But the moment it involves pictures this might want to prevent this and get the picture stretched the full width of the element.
To get this look just put the <div class="img"><img></div>
tag outside the .card-block
thus you prevent the paddings eventually including style=" width:100%;"
making certain it is going to resize properly always filling in its container.
Some words regarding the design-- cards will occupy the entire horizontal spot available by default so it's a good idea restricting this by putting them in some grid elements. This way you can achieve their predictable behavior.
Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still handle to deliver a lot of regulation and customization. Designed with flexbox, they provide easy placement and blend well with other Bootstrap parts.
Below is an example of a simple card with blended content and a specified width. Cards have no certain width to start, so they'll typically occupy the full width of its parent section. This is conveniently modified with many sizing choices.
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card picture caption"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card caption</h4>
<p class="card-text">Some fast sample message to build on the card title as well as compose the bulk of the card's material.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
Cards support a wide selection of content, featuring pics, text, list collections, urls, and more. Listed below are examples of what's maintained.
The building block of a card is the .card-block
. Use it whenever you want a padded section within a card.
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
This is some message in a card block.
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">Card subtitle</h6>
<p class="card-text">Some fast example message to improve the card title and compose the mass of the card's content.</p>
<a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
<a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
</div>
</div>
.card-img-top
places a picture to the top of the card. With .card-text
, text is put on the card. Text inside .card-text
can also be styled with the standard HTML tags.
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card picture cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<p class="card-text">Some fast example message to build on the card title and also compose the bulk of the card's web content.</p>
</div>
</div>
Generate lists of content in a card using a flush list group.
<div class="card">
<ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
<li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
<li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
<li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li>
</ul>
</div>
Mix and match various information kinds to produce the card you like, or toss everything in there. Revealed right here are picture formats, blocks, information looks, and a list group - all wrapped in a fixed-width card.
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>

</ul>
<div class="card-block">
<a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
<a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
</div>
</div>

Cards have no precise width
to start, so they should be 100% expanded until something else stated. You can modify this as required with customized CSS, grid classes, grid Sass mixins, or utilities.
Making use of the grid, wrap cards in columns and rows as wanted.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
<h3 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h3>

Cards provide some features for working using pics. Select from appending "image caps" at either end of a card, covering pics with card content, or just installing the image in a card.
Like headers and footers, cards may include top and bottom "image caps"-- pictures at the top or bottom of a card.
<div class="card mb-3">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-bottom" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
</div>
Turn an image into a card foundation and overlay your card's text. Basing on the pic, you may or may not require .card-inverse
(see below).
<div class="card card-inverse">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img" src="..." alt="Card image"></div>
<div class="card-img-overlay">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
Cards include various opportunities for modifying their backgrounds, borders, and color.
By default, cards use dark text and expect a light background. You can change this by toggling the color scheme of text within, as well as that of the card's subcomponents, using .card-inverse.
Then, specify a dark background-color
and border-color
to go with it.
You can additionally use .card-inverse
having the contextual backgrounds versions.
<div class="card card-inverse" style="background-color: #333; border-color: #333;">
<div class="card-block">
<h3 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h3>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
Cards feature their own variant classes for quickly changing the background-color
and border-color
of a card. Darker colors require the use of .card-inverse
.
<div class="card card-inverse card-primary mb-3 text-center">

Employing color to bring in meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies-- such as screen readers. Make sure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is involved through alternate means, like extra message hidden with the .sr-only
class.
In need of a colored card, but not the significant background colors they bring? Change the default modifier classes with the .card-outline-*
ones to style just the border-color
of a card.

Along with styling the content within cards, Bootstrap adds a few options for laying out series of cards. For the time being, these layout options are not yet responsive.
Utilize card groups to render cards as a single, connected item with equal width and height columns. Card groups work with display: flex;
to accomplish their uniform sizing.
<div class="card-group">
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When utilizing card groups with footers, their content will automatically line up.
<div class="card-group">
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>

Required a collection of equal width as well as height cards that typically aren't connected to each other? Utilize card decks.
<div class="card-deck">
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
<div class="card-block">

Just like with card groups, card footers in decks will automatically line up.
<div class="card-deck">

Cards are ordered from top to bottom and left to.
Attention! Your distance with card columns may vary. To avoid cards breaking across columns, set them to display: inline-block

Card columns can additionally be extended and also personalized with some additional code. Shown below is an extension of the .card-columns
class using the exact same CSS-- CSS columns-- to produce a collection of responsive tiers for altering the number of columns.
.card-columns
@include media-breakpoint-only(lg)
column-count: 4;
