Very often we should segregate several little (or not so much) pieces of information in order to help them stand up and get the client's interest-- such as mentioning several helpful features providing a listing of posts with a brief extract and a single powerful image and so on and on.
Thus we want a practical tool to beautifully wrap our information in a responsive and stylish manner to have it pleasant and tidy presented on our sites. In the recent version of the most popular responsive framework-- Bootstrap 3 we used mostly the Bootstrap Panel Tabs, thumbnail and well elements giving us box containers having a subtle border, quite elliptical corners and eventually-- a slight 3d effect. In the latest Bootstrap 4 framework, these are no longer. They get got changed altogether by the card element declaring to be worthy of basically everything the veterans can do but basically much better. It's time to get to know it more thoroughly.
The cards are delicately styled containers efficient in holding practically any HTML content inside also having a lot of predefined styling possibility for correctly showcasing its article. It also optionally can have a header and a footer.
To make a card we initially require a
.card
.card-header
.card-block
.card-footer
.card-block
The contextual colour classes could be employed to in addition style your complete card pieces easily-- just add a
.card- ~ one of the contextual colors here like primary, success, info or danger here ~
.card
.card-inverse
.card-outline- ~ the required colour ~
.card
As mentioned above the
.card-block
To have this appearance simply place the
<div class="img"><img></div>
.card-block
style=" width:100%;"
Some words regarding the layout-- cards will fill the entire horizontal area available by default thus it's a great idea limiting this by placing them in some grid elements. With this you can obtain their expected behavior. ( discover more here)
Cards are designed with as minimal markup and styles as possible, but still manage to present a ton of regulation and modification. Designed with flexbox, they provide easy alignment and blend well with other Bootstrap components.
Beneath is a sample of a standard card with blended content and a fixed width. Cards have no preset width to start, so they'll naturally complete the whole width of its parent element. This is effortlessly customized with various sizing alternatives.
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">

Cards feature some features for operating using pics. Select from attaching "image caps" at either end of a card, overlaying images with card content, or just installing the image in a card.
Similar to footers and headers, cards may feature bottom and top "image caps"-- pics at the top or bottom of a card.

Cards include various opportunities for personalizing their backgrounds, borders, and color.
By default, cards use dark text and suppose a light background. You can reverse that by toggling the color of text within, in addition to that of the card's subcomponents, with
.card-inverse.
background-color
border-color
You can also use
.card-inverse
<div class="card card-inverse" style="background-color: #333; border-color: #333;">

Employing color to bring in meaning only offers a visual indication, that will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies-- for example, screen readers. Make sure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the material itself (e.g. the visible text), or is featured through different means, like additional text hidden with the
.sr-only
Looking for a colored card, but not the significant background colors they provide? Change the default modifier classes with the

Besides styling the material within cards, Bootstrap 4 offers a few choices for laying out collection of cards. For the present being, such design choices are not yet responsive.
Use card groups to render cards as a single, connected element with equal width and height columns. Card groups work with
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 should 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>
<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 also height cards that typically aren't affixed to one another? Utilize 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>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>

<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">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>

Cards may be arranged into Masonry-like columns with just CSS by wrapping them in
.card-columns
column
Attention! Your mileage with card columns may differ. To prevent cards breaking across columns, set them to
display: inline-block
column-break-inside: avoid
<div class="card-columns">
<div class="card">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top img-fluid" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>

Card columns may also be extended and also customized with some additional code. Revealed below is an extension of the
.card-columns
.card-columns
@include media-breakpoint-only(lg)
column-count: 4;
@include media-breakpoint-only(xl)
column-count: 5;
Thus actually this is the method the new to Bootstrap 4 card element gets easily set up. As always aiming for easiness and simplicity the new Bootstrap version integrates the performance of multiple elements into a singular and effective one. Now you need to select the components you need to be outlined in some cards.
