Cards

Modus Bootstrap’s cards provide a flexible and extensible content container with multiple variants and options.

About

A card is a flexible and extensible content container. It includes options for headers and footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful display options.

Example

Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still manage to deliver a ton of control and customization. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other Modus Bootstrap components. They have no margin by default, so use spacing utilities as needed.

Below is an example of a basic card with mixed content and a fixed width. Cards have no fixed width to start, so they’ll naturally fill the full width of its parent element. This is easily customized with our various sizing options.

Card title

html 
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
  <img src="..." class="card-img-top" alt="...">
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5>
    <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>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Content types

Cards support a wide variety of content, including images, text, list groups, links, and more. Below are examples of what’s supported.

Body

The building block of a card is the .card-body. Use it whenever you need a padded section within a card.

This is some text within a card body.
html 
<div class="card">
  <div class="card-body">
    This is some text within a card body.
  </div>
</div>

Titles, text, and links

Card titles are used by adding .card-title to a <h*> tag. In the same way, links are added and placed next to each other by adding .card-link to an <a> tag.

Subtitles are used by adding a .card-subtitle to a <h*> tag. If the .card-title and the .card-subtitle items are placed in a .card-body item, the card title and subtitle are aligned nicely.

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

Images

.card-img-top places an image to the top of the card. With .card-text, text can be added to the card. Text within .card-text can also be styled with the standard HTML tags.

Sizing

Cards assume no specific width to start, so they’ll be 100% wide unless otherwise stated. You can change this as needed with custom CSS, grid classes, grid Sass mixins, or utilities.

Using grid markup

Using the grid, wrap cards in columns and rows as needed.

Images

Cards include a few options for working with images. Choose from appending “image caps” at either end of a card, overlaying images with card content, or simply embedding the image in a card.

Image caps

Similar to headers and footers, cards can include top and bottom “image caps”—images at the top or bottom of a card.

Turn an image into a card background and overlay your card’s text. Depending on the image, you may or may not need additional styles or utilities.

Note that content should not be larger than the height of the image. If content is larger than the image the content will be displayed outside the image.

Horizontal

Using a combination of grid and utility classes, cards can be made horizontal in a mobile-friendly and responsive way. In the example below, we remove the grid gutters with .g-0 and use .col-md-* classes to make the card horizontal at the md breakpoint. Further adjustments may be needed depending on your card content.

Card styles

Cards include various options for customizing their backgrounds, borders, and color.

Background and color

Set a background-color with contrasting foreground color with our .text-bg-{color} helpers. Previously it was required to manually pair your choice of .text-{color} and .bg-{color} utilities for styling, which you still may use if you prefer.

Accessibility tip: Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies like screen readers. Please ensure the meaning is obvious from the content itself (e.g., the visible text with a sufficient color contrast) or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .visually-hidden class.

Border

Use border utilities to change just the border-color of a card. Note that you can put .text-{color} classes on the parent .card or a subset of the card’s contents as shown below.

Card layout

In addition to styling the content within cards, Modus Bootstrap includes a few options for laying out series of cards. For the time being, these layout options are not yet responsive.

Card groups

Use card groups to render cards as a single, attached element with equal width and height columns. Card groups start off stacked and use display: flex; to become attached with uniform dimensions starting at the sm breakpoint.

      <p class="card-text"><small class="text-body-secondary">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

When using card groups with footers, their content will automatically line up.

Grid cards

Use the Bootstrap grid system and its .row-cols classes to control how many grid columns (wrapped around your cards) you show per row. For example, here’s .row-cols-1 laying out the cards on one column, and .row-cols-md-2 splitting four cards to equal width across multiple rows, from the medium breakpoint up.

Change it to .row-cols-3 and you’ll see the fourth card wrap.

When you need equal height, add .h-100 to the cards. If you want equal heights by default, you can set $card-height: 100% in Sass.

Just like with card groups, card footers will automatically line up.

CSS

Variables

As part of Bootstrap’s evolving CSS variables approach, cards now use local CSS variables on .card for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

scss/_card.scss 
--#{$prefix}card-spacer-y: #{$card-spacer-y};
--#{$prefix}card-spacer-x: #{$card-spacer-x};
--#{$prefix}card-title-spacer-y: #{$card-title-spacer-y};
--#{$prefix}card-title-color: #{$card-title-color};
--#{$prefix}card-subtitle-color: #{$card-subtitle-color};
--#{$prefix}card-border-width: #{$card-border-width};
--#{$prefix}card-border-color: #{$card-border-color};
--#{$prefix}card-border-radius: #{$card-border-radius};
--#{$prefix}card-box-shadow: #{$card-box-shadow};
--#{$prefix}card-inner-border-radius: #{$card-inner-border-radius};
--#{$prefix}card-cap-padding-y: #{$card-cap-padding-y};
--#{$prefix}card-cap-padding-x: #{$card-cap-padding-x};
--#{$prefix}card-cap-bg: #{$card-cap-bg};
--#{$prefix}card-cap-color: #{$card-cap-color};
--#{$prefix}card-height: #{$card-height};
--#{$prefix}card-color: #{$card-color};
--#{$prefix}card-bg: #{$card-bg};
--#{$prefix}card-img-overlay-padding: #{$card-img-overlay-padding};
--#{$prefix}card-group-margin: #{$card-group-margin};

Sass variables

scss/_variables.scss 
$card-spacer-y:                     $spacer;
