Very often we need to separate a few small (or not so much) pieces of information in order to help them stand up and get the client's attention-- such as listing certain valuable features providing a list of short articles along with a brief abstract and a single strong image and so on and on.
So we want a handy equipment to beautifully cover our information in a responsive and stunning approach to get it pleasant and tidy shown on our web pages. In the latest version of the most trendy mobile-friendly framework-- Bootstrap 3 we used mainly the Bootstrap Panel Border, thumbnail and well elements providing us box containers with a faint border, slightly elliptical corners and finally-- a slight 3d effect. In the latest Bootstrap 4 framework, these disappear. They get got replaced entirely by the card piece claiming to be capable of virtually whatever the veterans might do but basically better. So it's to get to know it more.
The cards are softly styled boxes efficient in carrying almost any HTML content inside as well featuring a lot of predefined designing option for properly showcasing its article. It also additionally could have a header and a footer.
If we want generate a card we first require a
.card
.card-header
.card-block
.card-footer
.card-block
As discussed above the
.card-block
To have this appearance simply place the
<div class="img"><img></div>
.card-block
style=" width:100%;"
Some words about the design-- cards will fill the entire horizontal area available by default thus it's a good idea limiting this by placing them in some grid elements. This way you can get their predictable actions. ( find out more)
Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still handle to provide a ton of control and customization. Developed using flexbox, they present easy alignment and blend well with other Bootstrap elements.
Below is a model of a basic card with blended content and a specified width. Cards have no predetermined width to start, so they'll typically occupy the full width of its parent section. This is smoothly modified with many sizing alternatives.
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card picture caption"></div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card caption</h4>
<p class="card-text">Some fast sample message to build on the card title as well as compose the bulk of the card's material.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
Cards maintain a broad variety of content, including pictures, text, list collections, hyperlinks, and more. Below are samples of what's supported.

.card-block
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">

Cards have a few possibilities for working with images. Choose from appending "image caps" at either end of a card, overlaying pics with card content, or just embedding the image in a card.
Like footers and headers, cards can include top and bottom "image caps"-- pics at the top or bottom of a card.
<div class="card mb-3">
<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="img"><img class="card-img-bottom" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
</div>
Turn a pic into a card background and overlay your card's text. Basing on the image, you may or may not need
.card-inverse
<div class="card card-inverse">
<div class="img"><img class="card-img" src="..." alt="Card image"></div>
<div class="card-img-overlay">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>

Cards include different alternatives for personalizing their backgrounds, borders, and color.
Initially, cards use dark text and expect a light background. You can change that by toggling the color of text within, as well as 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;">
<div class="card-block">
<h3 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h3>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>

Using color to include meaning only offers a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies-- like screen readers. Ensure that information signified by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is involved through alternative means, such as extra text hidden with the

Besides styling the material within cards, Bootstrap adds several alternatives for laying out series of cards. For the time being, these layout options are not yet responsive.
Utilize card groups to render cards as a single, connected element with identical width and height columns. Card groups use
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 will 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 set of equal width as well as height cards that aren't connected to each other? 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>
</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>
Just like with card groups, card footers in decks should 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 are ordered from top to bottom and left to.
Heads up! Your distance with card columns may differ. To avoid cards breaking across columns, set them to

Generally this is the way the bright new to Bootstrap 4 card element gets quickly set up. As always aiming for ease and simplicity the new framework version integrates the performance of multiple elements into a effective and single one. Right now you should select the components you need to be included in some cards.
