Card basics
A card is a flexible box with optional image, body, title and text.
In this page:
Syntax
<div class="card">
<img src="image.jpg" class="card-img-top" alt="...">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Title</h5>
<p class="card-text">Text</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Button</a>
</div>
</div>Card basics
Start with .card and add .card-img-top, then .card-body containing .card-title, .card-text and buttons. Cards have no fixed width by default, so control it with grid columns or width utilities. They combine well with list groups.
Note:
Use grid columns around cards to control their width responsively.
