Card
UX4G’s cards provide a flexible and extensible content container with multiple variants and options.
About #
A flexible and expandable content container is a card. It offers options for headers and footers, a range of information, background colors that are appropriate for the context, and strong display options. Cards take the role of our previous panels, wells, and thumbnails if you are familiar with UX4G. As modifier classes for cards, similar functionality to that of those components is accessible.
Example #
Cards are constructed with the least amount of markup and styles possible while yet managing to offer a substantial amount of control and customization. They are easily alignable and blend in with other UX4G components thanks to their flexbox construction. Use spacing tools as necessary because they don't come with margins by default.
The basic card with mixed content and a fixed width is demonstrated here. Cards naturally cover the entire width of their parent element because they don't have a set width to begin with. Thanks to many sizing possibilities, this is easily customizable.

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.
Go somewhereContent types #
Cards can include a variety of material, such as text, list groups, links, photos, and more. Examples of what is supported are shown below.
Body #
The .card-body is a card's fundamental component. Use it any time you require a padded area within a card.
RESULT
Titles, text, and links #
Developer can utilize card titles by appending .card-title to a <h*> element. The same method is used to add and position links by appending .card-link to an <a> tag.
Developer can utilize subtitles by appending a .card-subtitle tag to a .card-title and .card-subtitle items are placed in a .card-body item.

.card-img-top adds a top-level picture to the card. Text can be added to the card using .card-text. The usual HTML elements can also be used to style text inside of .card-text.

In the absence of a precise width assumption at the outset, cards will always be 100% wide. With custom CSS, grid classes, grid Sass mixins, or utilities, it can be modified as necessary.
Using grid markup #
Using the grid, wrap cards in columns and rows as needed.

A few options exist for manipulating the graphics on cards. It is possible to add "image caps" to the ends of cards, place pictures over the data on the cards, or just embed pictures right into the cards themselves.
Image caps #
Cards can have top and bottom "image caps" —images at the top or bottom of a card —much like headers and footers can.

Horizontal #
Cards can be made horizontal in a mobile-friendly and responsive fashion by combining grid and utility classes. In the example below, there is a use of col-md-* classes to make the card horizontal at the md breakpoint and the .g-0 class to eliminate the grid gutters. Depending on the information in the card, additional adjustments might be required

Card styles #
Cards include various options for customizing their backgrounds, borders, and color.
Background and color #
Added in v1.0.0
Using the .text-bg-{color} tools, you may set a background color with a contrasting foreground color. Previously, pairing your preferred .text-{color} and .bg-{color} utilities manually was necessary for styling; nevertheless, it is still free to do so if it is a preference

Conveying meaning to assistive technologies
Color-coding to add meaning just gives a visual cue, which users of assistive technologies like screen readers won't be able to understand. Make sure the information color designates is either evident from the content itself (such as the visible text) or is included in another way, such as by hiding additional text using the .visually-hidden class.
Border #
To alter a card's border color only, use border utils. A subset of the card's contents, as seen below, or the parent .card can both have {.text-color} classes applied to them.

Card layout #
UX4G offers a few options for organizing a sequence of cards in addition to decorating the content within cards. These layout choices are not yet responsive at this time.
Card groups #
To render cards as a single, associated element with columns of the same width and height, use card groups. Beginning at the sm breakpoint, card groups that are initially stacked use display: flex to attach and take on uniform proportions.

Grid cards #
Use the .row-cols classes of the UX4G grid system to modify how many grid columns show per row (wrapped around your cards). For instance, this. From the medium breakpoint up, row-cols-1 arranges the cards in a single column, and .row-cols-md-2 divides four cards into equal rows of width.

Masonry #
To simulate the behavior of Masonry-like columns, there is an employment of CSS-only solution, but this technique had a lot of unfavorable side effects. Just use the Masonry plugin if there is a requirement to have this kind of layout. UX4G does not include masonry, but have created a demo example to get you going.
CSS #
Variables #
Added in v1.0.0Cards now leverage local CSS variables on.card for improved real-time customisation as part of UX4G's growing CSS variables approach. Sass is used to set the values for the CSS variables, therefore Sass customization is still available.
