Bootstrap Cards

You may utilize the Bootstrap card components after watching this tutorial.

Using the Bootstrap Cards

The Bootstrap card is a versatile and adaptable container for content. It offers options for headers and footers, a wide range of content types, contextual background colors, and flexible display choices. The card component replaces the panel, well, and thumbnail components from the old Bootstrap 3 version.

Creating a Basic Card

The card markup is straightforward. The outer wrapper requires the base class .card, and content can be placed inside the .card-body element. The following example demonstrates how to create a card with a picture, mixed with some text content and a button.

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card" style="width: 300px;">
        <img src="sample.png" class="card-img-top" alt="Sample Image">
        <div class="card-body text-center">
            <h5 class="card-title">Alice Liddel</h5>
            <p class="card-text">Alice is a freelance web designer and developer based in London. She is specialized in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap, etc.</p>
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">View Profile</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Note: Cards do not have a fixed width; they occupy the full width of their parent element. If you need a fixed-width card, you can apply the width property to the card yourself. Additionally, cards have no margin by default, but you can use spacing utility classes if needed.

Content Types for Card Component

The card component supports a wide variety of content, including images, text, list groups, links, navs, and more. Here are examples of what is supported by the card:

Body Only Card

You can simply use .card with .card-body inside whenever you need to create a padded box.

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card">
        <div class="card-body">This text is enclosed in a box with padding.</div>
    </div>
</div>

Card with Titles, Text, and Links

Furthermore, you can include titles and links inside the card along with text, as shown below:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card" style="width: 300px;">
        <div class="card-body">
            <h5 class="card-title">Taj Mahal</h5>
            <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-3 text-muted"> Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.</h6>
            <p class="card-text">Built: 1631–1653 Taj Mahal is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world</p>
            <a href="#" class="card-link">View pictures</a>
            <a href="#" class="card-link">Learn more</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Card with Header and Footer

You can also add a header and footer within your cards using the .card-header and .card-footer class, respectively. The following example demonstrates this:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card text-center">
        <div class="card-header">Featured</div>
        <div class="card-body">
            <h5 class="card-title">NASA Launched Solar Probe</h5>
            <p class="card-text">In order to conduct studies of the outer solar corona, NASA deployed the Parker space probe in 2018. It is the first mission to ever "touch" the Sun.</p>
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Know more</a>
        </div>
        <div class="card-footer text-muted">3 years ago</div>
    </div>
</div>

Try this code

Tip: You can use text-align utility classes such as .text-center and .text-end to align the card's content to the center and right end, respectively. By default, the content is left-aligned.

Placing List Groups within Card

List groups can also be placed inside the card alongside other content types, as depicted here:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card" style="width: 300px;">
        <div class="card-header">Featured</div>
        <ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
            <li class="list-group-item">Part 1</li>
            <li class="list-group-item">Part 2</li>
            <li class="list-group-item">Part 3</li>
        </ul>
        <div class="card-body">
            <a href="#" class="card-link">Add More</a>
            <a href="#" class="card-link">Share</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Mix and Match Multiple Content Types within Card

Feel free to mix and match multiple content types to create the card layout you desire. The following example creates a fixed-width card with an image, text, list group, and hyperlinks.

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card" style="width: 300px;">
        <img src="thumbnail.png" class="w-100 border-bottom" alt="Sample Image">
        <div class="card-body">
            <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5>
            <p class="card-text">The content of the card is represented by the following sample text. You may always substitute your own text for it.</p>
        </div>
        <ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
            <li class="list-group-item">Part 1</li>
            <li class="list-group-item">Part 2</li>
            <li class="list-group-item">Part 3</li>
        </ul>
        <div class="card-body">
            <a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
            <a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Adding Navigation to Cards

Additionally, you can add Bootstrap's nav components, such as tabs and pills, to the card header.

To add tabs navigation, simply place the tabs markup inside the card header and the tabs content inside the card body. You will also need to use the additional class .card-header-tabs on the .nav element along with the class .nav-tabs for proper alignment.

The example below illustrates an elegant tabbed navigation.

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card text-center">
        <div class="card-header">
            <ul class="nav nav-tabs card-header-tabs" id="myTab">
                <li class="nav-item">
                    <a href="#home" class="nav-link active" data-bs-toggle="tab">Home</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
            <div class="tab-content">
                <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home">
                    <h5 class="card-title">Home tab content</h5>
                    <p class="card-text">The contents of the tabs is represented by the following sample text. Anytime you want, substitute your own text.</p>
                    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

You can also incorporate pills nav into the card by adding the additional class .card-header-pills along with the class .nav-pills on the .nav element, as demonstrated below:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card text-center">
        <div class="card-header">
            <ul class="nav nav-pills card-header-pills">
                <li class="nav-item">
                    <a href="#home" class="nav-link active" data-bs-toggle="tab">Home</a>
                </li>
                <li class="nav-item">
                    <a href="#profile" class="nav-link" data-bs-toggle="tab">Profile</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
            <div class="tab-content">
                <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="Div1">
                    <h5 class="card-title">Home tab content</h5>
                    <p class="card-text">The contents of the tabs is represented by the following sample text. Anytime you want, substitute your own text.</p>
                    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Customizing the Card Styles

There are various options available for customizing the appearance of a card's backgrounds, borders, and colors.

Customizing Background and Color

You can easily change the card's appearance using background and color utility classes. The following example illustrates how it works:

<div class="card text-white bg-primary mb-4">
    <div class="card-body">
        <h5 class="card-title">First card title</h5>
        <p class="card-text">To fill up the content of the cards, some fake text. It is always replaceable.</p>
    </div>
</div>

Try this code

Customizing Border and Color

Similarly, you can customize the border and text color of any card using the text and border utility classes. Simply apply these classes to the .card or its child elements, as shown here:

<div class="card border-primary mb-4">
    <div class="card-body text-primary">
        <h5 class="card-title">First card title</h5>
        <p class="card-text">To fill up the card's content, some fictitious words. It can always be changed.</p>
    </div>
</div>

Card Layout Options

Aside from styling options, Bootstrap offers a few layout options for arranging a series of cards. However, these layouts are not yet responsive.

Creating the Card Groups

Card groups allow you to display cards as a single, attached element with equal-width and equal-height columns. However, on extra small devices (viewport width < 576px), cards inside a card group become horizontally stacked. Let's explore an example to see how it works:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card-group">
        <div class="card">
            <img src="thumbnail.png" class="card-img-top" alt="...">
            <div class="card-body">
                <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5>
                <p class="card-text">To fill up the content of the cards, some fake text. It is always replaceable.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="card-footer">
                <small class="text-muted">Last updated 5 mins ago</small>
            </div>
        </div>

Try this code

Creating the Card Grids

You can control the number of grid columns (wrapped around your cards) per row using the Bootstrap grid system and its .row-cols-* classes. For instance, you can use .row-cols-1 to display one card per row or .row-cols-md-2 to show two cards per row from the medium breakpoint up (viewport width ≥ 768px).

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-2 g-4">
        <div class="col">
            <div class="card">
                <img src="thumbnail.png" class="card-img-top" alt="...">
                <div class="card-body">
                    <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5>
                    <p class="card-text">To fill up the content of the cards, some fake text. It is always replaceable.</p>
                </div>
                <div class="card-footer">
                    <small class="text-muted">Last updated 5 mins ago</small>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

Creating Horizontal Cards

To create horizontal cards where image and text content are placed side-by-side, you can use a combination of grid and utility classes, as depicted in the following example:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card" style="max-width: 500px;">
        <div class="row g-0">
            <div class="col-sm-5" style="background: #868e96;">
                <img src="sample.png" class="card-img-top h-100" alt="...">
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-7">
                <div class="card-body">
                    <h5 class="card-title">Alice Liddel</h5>
                    <p class="card-text">London-based independent web designer and developer named Alice. She is skilled in JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap, among other things.</p>
                    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary stretched-link">View Profile</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Try this code

Card Image Overlays

Furthermore, you can turn an image into a card background and place the card's text on top of it using the class .card-img-overlay instead of .card-body. Depending on the image, additional styles may be required for better adjustments:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card text-white" style="width: 350px;">
        <img src="sample.png" class="card-img-top" alt="...">
        <div class="card-img-overlay">
            <h5 class="card-title">Alice Liddel</h5>
            <p class="card-text">London-based independent web designer and developer named Alice. She is skilled in JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap, among other things.</p>
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary stretched-link">View Profile</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Try this code

Note: It's essential to ensure that the card content does not exceed the height of the image. If the content is larger, it will be displayed outside the image.

Text Alignment inside Card

To change the text alignment of a card, you can use the text alignment utility classes. For example, the class .text-center and .text-end can be used to align the card's text content to the center and right end, respectively.

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-3 g-3">
        <div class="col">
            <!-- Card with default left text alignment -->
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-body">
                    <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5>
                    <p class="card-text">To fill up the content of the card, some fake text. It is always replaceable.</p>
                    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Know more</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

Specifying Card Size

Cards have no fixed width; they are 100% wide by default. However, you can adjust the width as needed using custom CSS, grid classes, or sizing utility classes.

The example below demonstrates this:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="container-fluid">
        <!-- Card sizing using grid markup -->
        <div class="row mb-4">
            <div class="col-sm-6">
                <div class="card">
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5>
                        <p class="card-text">To fill up the content of the card, some fake text. It is always replaceable.</p>
                        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Know more</a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>

Try this code

Card with Stretched Link

To make the entire card clickable, you can add the class .stretched-link to a link inside the card. Multiple links are not recommended with stretched links.

The following example shows how it works:

<div class="m-4">
    <div class="card" style="width: 300px;">
        <img src="sample.png" class="card-img-top" alt="...">
        <div class="card-body text-center">
            <h5 class="card-title">Alice Liddel</h5>
            <p class="card-text">London-based independent web designer and developer named Alice. She is skilled in JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap, among other things.</p>
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary stretched-link">View Profile</a>

FAQ

What is a Bootstrap Card?

A Bootstrap Card is a flexible and lightweight content container within the Bootstrap framework. It's a versatile component used to organize and display various types of content such as images, text, links, and more. Cards are designed to be visually appealing and responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices.

How do you create a basic Bootstrap Card?

To create a basic Bootstrap Card, you can use the following HTML structure:

<div class="card">
  <img src="image.jpg" class="card-img-top" alt="Image">
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Card Title</h5>
    <p class="card-text">This is a basic card with some sample content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Learn More</a>
  </div>
</div>

In this example, the card class creates the card container, the card-img-top class is used for the image at the top, and the card-body class contains the title, text, and button elements.

How can you customize the appearance of a Bootstrap Card?

Bootstrap provides various classes that you can use to customize the appearance of a card. Some common classes include:

bg-*: To set the background color of the card, replacing * with a color name or contextual class like primary, success, etc.
text-*: To change the text color, replacing * with a color name or contextual class.
border-*: To add borders, replacing * with a color name or contextual class.

<div class="card bg-primary text-white border-0">
  <!-- Card content here -->
</div>

Can you include headers, footers, and other elements in a Bootstrap Card?

Yes, you can include headers, footers, and other elements in a Bootstrap Card. For instance, you can add a card header using the card-header class and a card footer using the card-footer class. These sections can contain additional content like titles, icons, buttons, etc.

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-header">
    Card Header
  </div>
  <div class="card-body">
    <!-- Card content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="card-footer">
    Card Footer
  </div>
</div>

How can you create a card layout with multiple cards in a row?

You can use Bootstrap's grid system to create a card layout with multiple cards in a row. For instance, to create a row of three cards, you can use the following structure:

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <!-- Card 1 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <!-- Card 2 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <!-- Card 3 content here -->
  </div>
</div>

How can you make the cards responsive for different screen sizes?

Bootstrap Cards are responsive by default. The grid system ensures that cards adjust their width and layout based on the screen size. To achieve this responsiveness, you should place your cards within the appropriate grid columns using classes like col-sm-*, col-md-*, col-lg-*, etc., to control the number of columns the cards should span across for different screen sizes.

How can you create a card with different styles, such as horizontal cards or card groups?

Bootstrap offers different card styles, including horizontal cards and card groups. To create a horizontal card, you can use the flex-row class to align the card content horizontally:

<div class="card flex-row">
  <img src="image.jpg" class="card-img-left" alt="Image">
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Horizontal Card</h5>
    <p class="card-text">This is a horizontal card layout.</p>
  </div>
</div>

For card groups, you can enclose multiple cards within a card-group or card-deck container:

<div class="card-group">
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card 1 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card 2 content here -->
  </div>
  <!-- More cards -->
</div>

How can you control the width of a Bootstrap Card?

You can control the width of a Bootstrap Card by adjusting the width of the containing column. For instance, if you want a card to occupy half the width of its column, you can use the col-md-6 class:

<div class="col-md-6">
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card content here -->
  </div>
</div>

How can you use card overlays for additional content, such as text or buttons on images?

Card overlays can be used to display additional content, such as text or buttons, on top of card images. You can achieve this by using the card-img-overlay class:

<div class="card">
  <img src="image.jpg" class="card-img" alt="Image">
  <div class="card-img-overlay">
    <h5 class="card-title">Image Overlay</h5>
    <p class="card-text">Text over the image.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Button</a>
  </div>
</div>

How can you add icons or badges to a Bootstrap Card?

You can add icons using Bootstrap's icon classes (e.g., bi bi-heart) and badges using the badge class. Here's an example of adding an icon and a badge to a card:

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Card with Icon and Badge</h5>
    <p class="card-text">This card has an icon and a badge.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Learn More</a>
  </div>
  <i class="bi bi-star-fill card-icon"></i>
  <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span>
</div>

In this example, the card-icon class is used to style the icon.

How can you use card decks and card columns to arrange multiple cards?

Card decks and card columns are useful for arranging multiple cards in different layouts. A card deck ensures equal height for all cards, while card columns allow for responsive columns. Here's how to use them:

For card decks:

<div class="card-deck">
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card 1 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card 2 content here -->
  </div>
  <!-- More cards -->
</div>

For card columns:

<div class="card-columns">
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card 1 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="card">
    <!-- Card 2 content here -->
  </div>
  <!-- More cards -->
</div>

How can you add hover effects or animations to Bootstrap Cards?

You can add hover effects and animations using Bootstrap's utility classes or CSS. For example, to add a subtle zoom effect on hover:

<div class="card card-zoom">
  <!-- Card content here -->
</div>

.card-zoom:hover {
  transform: scale(1.05);
  transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}

You can customize the CSS properties to achieve the desired effect.

How can you make a card's height adjust to its content?

By default, Bootstrap Cards adjust their height based on their content. If you want to ensure that the card height is the same for multiple cards in a row, you can use the align-items-stretch class on the parent container to make them equal in height.

Can you include forms or input elements inside a Bootstrap Card?

Absolutely! You can include forms, input elements, and other interactive components within a Bootstrap Card. Here's an example of a card containing a form:

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Contact Us</h5>
    <form>
      <!-- Form fields here -->
      <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    </form>
  </div>
</div>

How can you create card layouts with equal heights regardless of content?

If you want to ensure that cards have equal heights within a row, you can use the align-items-stretch class on the parent container:

<div class="row align-items-stretch">
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <!-- Card 1 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <!-- Card 2 content here -->
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-4">

To center align the card header and footer text, you can use the .card-header and .card-footer classes along with the .text-center class. Here's an example:

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-header text-center">
    Centered Header
  </div>
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Card Title</h5>
    <p class="card-text">Card content goes here.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="card-footer text-center">
    Centered Footer
  </div>
</div>

In this example, the .text-center class aligns the text inside both the header and footer to the center.

How can I center align the text vertically and horizontally within a card body?

You can center align the text both vertically and horizontally within a card body by using the .d-flex, .align-items-center, and .justify-content-center classes. Here's an example:

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-body d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center">
    <h5 class="card-title">Centered Text</h5>
    <p class="card-text">Content is centered both vertically and horizontally.</p>
  </div>
</div>

In this example, the .d-flex class creates a flex container, and both .align-items-center and .justify-content-center classes center the content both vertically and horizontally.
