Bootstrap - Card

This chapter will discuss about Bootstrap cards. Bootstrap cards provide flexible and extensible content containers with many flavors and options. A card is a flexible and extensible container for content. It includes header and footer options, different content, contextual background colors, and effective display options.

Basic card

  • To create a basic card use the class .card. Use spacing utilities when required because cards don't come with margins.

  • The basic card with mixed content and a fixed width is demonstrated here. Cards naturally cover the entire width of their parent element since they have no fixed width. With many sizing choices, this is easily customizable.

Example

You can edit and try running this code using Edit & Run option.

Content types

Cards support a various type of content including images, text, list groups, and links. Below are examples of what's supported.

Body

Add the class .card-body whenever you require a padded section within a card.

Example

You can edit and try running this code using Edit & Run option.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
      <title>Bootstrap - Card</title>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
      <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
      <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha3/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <div class="card">
        <div class="card-body">
          Card body section.
        </div>
      </div>
    </body>
    </html>

Titles, text, and links

  • Use the card title by adding the class .card-title to the <h*> tag. You can similarly add and tile links by adding .card-link to the <a> tag.

  • Placing the .card-title and .card-subtitle elements in the .card-body element ensures that the card title and subtitle line up nicely. Subtitles are used by adding .card-subtitle to the <h*> tag.

        <a href="#" class="card-link">More info</a>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>

Images

Cards contain several options for working with images. Choose to have "image caps" on each side of the card, overlay the image on the card's contents, or simply embed the image into the card.

Image caps

Cards can have "image caps" at top and bottom (images at the top or bottom of the card), similar to headers and footers as demonstrated below.

Images overlays

Turn an image into a card background and overlay the card text. Some images may require additional styling or utility.

        <p class="card-text"><small>2 mins ago</small></p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
  </html>
Note: It is important note that text/content should not exceed the height of the image, as this will cause it to be displayed outside the frame.

Horizontal

By using a combination of grid and utility classes, you can create cards horizontally in a mobile-friendly and responsive way. In the example below, .g-0 removes the grid bars and uses the .col-md-* classes to level the card at the md breakpoints.

Card styles

A wide range of background, border, and color customization choices are available for cards.

Background and color

Added in v5.2.0

  • Using .text-bg-{color} helpers, you can set a background color with a contrasting foreground color.

  • Previously, pairing .text-color and .bg-color utilities manually was necessary for styling, you can still do so if you prefer.

Card layout

In addition to styling and customising the content in your card, Bootstrap provides several options for arranging card in series. Currently, these layout options are not responsive. Following sections demonstrates this.

Card groups

Card groups render cards as a single attached element with columns of the same width and height. Card groups are stacked. They use display: flex; to become attached with uniform dimensions starting at the sm breakpoint.

Example

You can edit and try running this code using Edit & Run option.

      <div class="card">

  </body>
  </html>

Use a card group with a footer, its content is automatically arranged.

   </div>
  </body>
  </html>

Grid cards

  • Use the Bootstrap grid system and its .row-cols class to control the number of grid columns (wrapped around the cards) to display per row.

  • For example, here's .row-cols-1 to put cards in columns and .row-cols-md-2 to spread 4 cards of the same width across multiple rows from the middle breakpoint upwards.
