Sometimes we need to segregate some short (or not so much) sections of content to force them stand up and get the customer's attention-- such as specifying several valuable features showing a selection of posts with a short extract and a single powerful image and so on and on.
We need an user-friendly tool to nicely wrap our content in a responsive and attractive way to have it lovely and tidy presented on our pages. In the last version of the most famous flexible framework-- Bootstrap 3 we employed mostly the Bootstrap Panel Group, thumbnail and well elements delivering us box containers along with a subtle border, slightly rounded corners and eventually-- a slight 3d impact. In the latest Bootstrap 4 framework, these are no longer. They get got replaced altogether by the card element claiming to be worthy of almost everything the veterans might do but basically improved. It's the right moment to get to learn it more thoroughly.
The cards are softly styled containers efficient in holding practically any HTML content within as well having a many predefined styling option for properly showcasing its content. It also additionally might have a header and a footer.
In order to build a card we first need a
.card
.card-header
.card-block
.card-footer
.card-block
The contextual colour classes may be utilized to additionally style your complete card items easily-- simply assign a
.card- ~ one of the contextual colours here like primary, success, info or danger here ~
.card
.card-inverse
.card-outline- ~ the needed shade ~
.card
As mentioned above the
.card-block
To have this appearance simply place the
<div class="img"><img></div>
.card-block
style=" width:100%;"
A few words about the design-- cards will fill the complete horizontal area available by default so it's a smart idea limiting it by placing them inside some grid elements. This way you can get their predictable behavior. ( discover more)
Cards are designed with as little markup and styles as possible, but still handle to offer a plenty of regulation and customization. Constructed using flexbox, they deliver easy alignment and blend well with other Bootstrap elements.
Here is an illustration of a fundamental card with different content and a set width. Cards have no precise width to start, so they'll naturally complete the full width of its parent element. This is conveniently individualized with numerous sizing choices.

Cards include some options for working using images. Select from adding "image caps" at possibly end of a card, overlaying images with card content, or just installing the image in a card.

Employing color to bring in meaning only supplies a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies-- such as screen readers.

In addition to styling the content within cards, Bootstrap features a few choices for laying out series of cards. For the present being, these layout options are not yet responsive.
Utilize card groups to make cards as a single, connected element with equal width and height columns. Card groups utilize
display: flex;
<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 using card groups with footers, their content is going to 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>
<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>
</div>
<div class="card-footer">
<small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small>
</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>
</div>
<div class="card-footer">
<small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small>

</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>
</div>
<div class="card-footer">
<small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Required a collection of equal width and height cards that typically aren't attached to each other? Use 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">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a longer card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>

<div class="card-block">

<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 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>
Like with card groups, card footers in decks will automatically line up.
<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">
