Bootstrap Panel Group

Introduction

Sometimes we should split up a few little (or not so much) sections of content in order to help them stand up and get the visitor's focus-- like specifying certain valuable features providing a listing of articles along with a brief extract and a single strong picture and so on and on.

Thus we want a beneficial equipment to nicely wrap our information in a responsive and stunning approach to have it pleasant and neat shown on our pages. In the latest version of the remarkably trendy mobile-friendly framework-- Bootstrap 3 we employed mostly the Bootstrap Panel Button, thumbnail and well elements providing us box containers along with a faint border, slightly elliptical edges and finally-- a slight 3d effect. In the latest Bootstrap 4 framework, these are no longer. They get got changed collectively by the card piece declaring to be worthy of virtually whatever the previous features could possibly do but basically better. It's the right moment to get to know it more thoroughly.

Methods to implement the Bootstrap Panel Example:

The cards are delicately styled boxes capable of holding practically any HTML content in them also featuring a bunch of predefined styling possibility for appropriately showcasing its article. It also additionally could have a header and a footer.

To build a card we initially require a

.card

element to wrap the complete element up. Inside it distinct wrappers for the header

.card-header

, the actual card content

.card-block

and the footer

.card-footer

shall take place and while the header and footer are quite optional and may be left out if you don't need them the

.card-block

is the important component-- it suitably covers your content supplying some slight padding around.

The contextual different colors classes are utilized to additionally style your whole card items quickly-- simply add a

.card- ~ one of the contextual colours here like primary, success, info or danger here ~

to the main

.card

wrapper and if the background becomes a bit overly darkened for the content to be understandable enough-- also add the

.card-inverse

class to invert the text color. You may also style only the boundary color employing the contextual scheme-- this gets done by assigning the

.card-outline- ~ the wanted color ~

class again to the main

.card

element.

As stated before the

.card-block

appears to wrap the content leaving a pretty padding around it. When it gets to images this may prefer to avoid this and have the image stretched the entire width of the section.

To have this look just put the

<div class="img"><img></div>

tag outside the

.card-block

thus you avoid the paddings eventually adding

style=" width:100%;"

making certain this will resize correctly always filling in its container.

Here are multiple quite useful placement classes as well such as

.card-img-top

and

.card-img-bottom

aligning the image at the top or the bottom of the card. And if you need to position it somewhere in between the text just break the

.card-block

, insert the picture and start a new

.card-block

to insert the information you want placed right after the image-- multiple card blocks are supported. Eventually you may also want to add some words over the picture-- cover it inside a

<div>

carrying the

.img-overlay

class.

A few words about the design-- cards will fill the complete horizontal area available by default thus it's a good idea limiting it by placing them in some grid elements. With this you can obtain their expected behavior. ( check this out)

Some example

Cards are built with as minimal markup and styles as possible, but still handle to offer a ton of management and customization. Developed with flexbox, they provide easy positioning and blend properly with other Bootstrap parts.

Below is an example of a standard card with combined content and a set width. Cards have no certain width to start, so they'll typically complete the whole width of its parent section. This is conveniently modified with numerous 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>

Web-site subject types

Cards support a broad variety of content, featuring images, text, list collections, hyperlinks, and more. Here are examples of what's provided.

Blocks

The building block of a card is the

.card-block

Use it when you demand a padded area in a card.

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-block">
    This is some message in a card block.
  </div>
</div>

Names, information, and hyperlinks

Card titles are used by adding

.card-title

to a

<h*>

tag. In the same way, urls are included and placed close to each other by adding

.card-link

to a

<a>

tag. Subtitles are used by putting a

.card-subtitle

to a

<h*>

tag. If the

.card-title

and the

.card-subtitle

elements are placed in a

.card-block

item, the card title and subtitle are aligned nicely.

Names, text, and {links| web links| hyperlinks| urls

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
    <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">Card subtitle</h6>
    <p class="card-text">Some fast example message to improve the card title and compose the mass of the card's content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
    <a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
  </div>
</div>

Images

.card-img-top

spots a pic to the very top of the card. With

.card-text

, text is included in the card. Text inside

.card-text

may also be styled with the standard HTML tags.

<div class="card">
  <div class="img"><img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card picture cap"></div>
  <div class="card-block">
    <p class="card-text">Some fast example message to build on the card title and also compose the bulk of the card's web content.</p>
  </div>
</div>

Selection groups

Produce lists of content in a card with a flush list group.

<div class="card">
  <ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
    <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
    <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
    <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li>
  </ul>
</div>

Merge up and go with numerous content kinds to create the card you need, or throw everything in there. Presented here are picture layouts, blocks, notification designs, plus a list group - all covered in a fixed-width card.

<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
  <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">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
  </div>
  <ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
    <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
    <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
    <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li>
  </ul>
  <div class="card-block">
    <a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
    <a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
  </div>
</div>

Header and footer

Create an optional header and/or footer within a card.

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-header">
    Featured
  </div>
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Unique title therapy</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting message below as an all-natural lead-in to extra content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go someplace</a>
  </div>
</div>

Card headers could be styled by including

.card-header

<h*>

components.

<div class="card">
  <h3 class="card-header">Featured</h3>
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting message below as a natural lead-in to extra content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go someplace</a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-header">
    Quote
  </div>
  <div class="card-block">
    <blockquote class="card-blockquote">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
      <footer>Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
    </blockquote>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card text-center">
  <div class="card-header">

  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as an all-natural lead-in to extra material.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go someplace</a>
  </div>
  <div class="card-footer text-muted">

  </div>
</div>

Sizing

Cards have no specified

width

to begin, so they'll be 100% expanded unless something else declared. You can modify this as needed with custom CSS, grid classes, grid Sass mixins, or utilities. ( more info)

Using grid markup

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

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-sm-6">
    <div class="card">
      <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>
        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-6">
    <div class="card">
      <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>
        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Using utilities

Use handful of offered sizing utilities to quickly establish a card's size.

<div class="card w-75">
  <div class="card-block">
    <h3 class="card-title">Card title</h3>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Button</a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card w-50">
  <div class="card-block">
    <h3 class="card-title">Card title</h3>
    <p class="card-text">With sustaining message listed below as an all-natural lead-in to extra web content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Button</a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
  <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 added material.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Text message placing

You could quickly alter the message placement of any type of card-- in its whole or particular parts-- with text align classes.

<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card text-center" style="width: 20rem;">
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card text-right" style="width: 20rem;">
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Site navigation

Put some navigation to a card's header (or block) with Bootstrap's nav components.

<div class="card text-center">
  <div class="card-header">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs card-header-tabs">
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="card text-center">
  <div class="card-header">
    <ul class="nav nav-pills card-header-pills">
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div class="card-block">
    <h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
    <p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Images

Cards offer several features for operating using pics. Choose from attaching "image caps" at either end of a card, covering images with card content, or simply inserting the image in a card.

Image caps

Just like footers and headers, cards may involve bottom and top "image caps"-- images 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>
    <p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="card">
  <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 class="img"><img class="card-img-bottom" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
</div>

Picture cover

Turn a pic into a card foundation and overlay your card's text. Depending on the pic, you may or may not want

.card-inverse

(see below).

<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>
    <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>

Card varieties

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

Inverted text

By default, cards use dark text and expect a light background. You can reverse this by toggling the color of text within, as well as that of the card's subcomponents, with

.card-inverse.

After that, specify a dark

background-color

and

border-color

to go with it.

You may additionally use

.card-inverse

having the contextual backgrounds versions.

<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>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Background alternatives

Cards feature their own variant classes for rapidly altering the

background-color

and

border-color

of a card. Darker colors require the use of

.card-inverse

<div class="card card-inverse card-primary mb-3 text-center">
  <div class="card-block">
    <blockquote class="card-blockquote">

    </blockquote>
  </div>
</div>

Showing meaning to assistive modern technologies

Utilizing color to include meaning only supplies a visual indication, which will not be shared to users of assistive technologies-- like screen readers. Make sure that info signified by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternate means, such as extra message hidden with the

.sr-only

class.

Outline cards

Need a colored card, but not the hefty background colors they provide? Replace the default modifier classes with the

.card-outline-*

ones to style just the

border-color

of a card.

<div class="card card-outline-primary mb-3 text-center">
  <div class="card-block">
    <blockquote class="card-blockquote">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>

Card placement

Besides styling the material within cards, Bootstrap contains a number of choices for laying out series of cards. For the present being, these design options are not yet responsive.

Card groups

Use card groups to make cards as a single, connected item with identical width and height columns. Card groups work with

display: flex;

to achieve their uniform sizing.

<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>

Card decks

Need a collection of equal width and height cards that aren't attached 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>

Just like with card groups, card footers in decks are going to 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>
      <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">

Card columns

Cards are ordered from top to bottom and left to.

Attention! Your distance with card columns may differ. To prevent cards breaking across columns, set them to

display: inline-block

column-break-inside: avoid

isn't a bulletproof solution yet.

<div class="card-columns">
  <div class="card">
    <div class="img"><img class="card-img-top img-fluid" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>
    <div class="card-block">
      <h4 class="card-title">Card title that wraps to a new line</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>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="card p-3">
    <blockquote class="card-block card-blockquote">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
      <footer>
        <small class="text-muted">

Card columns may also be expanded and customized with some added code. Shown below is an expansion of the

.card-columns

course making use of the very same CSS-- CSS columns-- to create a collection of receptive tiers for transforming the number of columns.

.card-columns 
  @include media-breakpoint-only(lg) 
    column-count: 4;
  
  @include media-breakpoint-only(xl) 
    column-count: 5;

Final thoughts

So generally this is the method the new to Bootstrap 4 card item becomes simply set up. As always aiming for ease and simplicity the new Bootstrap version combines the functionality of a few sections into a single and effective one. Right now you need to pick up the components you need to be included in some cards.
