description: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.
---
The `.card` element is simply a container with a shadow, a border, a radius, and some padding. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other Bootstrap components.
### Default card
{% example html columns=1 %}
{% include cards/card.html hide-options=true %}
{% endexample %}
### Advanced card
{% example html columns=1 %}
{% include cards/card.html show-buttons=true show-footer=true %}
{% endexample %}
### Blog post card
The best way to make your post eye-catching is adding an image to it. To do so, just add the image with the `.card-img-top` class. We've added the `.d-flex .flex-column` classes to the `.card-body` to have the author details be on the bottom of the card.
{% example html columns=1 %}
{% include cards/blog-single.html type="image" %}
{% endexample %}
### Row deck
If you want to create a couple of posts next to each other, add the `.row-deck` class to `.row`—then they will all have the same height.
{% example html columns=2 %}
<divclass="row row-cards row-deck">
<divclass="col-md-4">
<divclass="card">
<divclass="card-body">Short content</div>
</div>
</div>
<divclass="col-md-4">
<divclass="card">
<divclass="card-body">Extra long content of card. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr</div>
</div>
</div>
<divclass="col-md-4">
<divclass="card">
<divclass="card-body">Short content</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
### Post card with aside image
You can also add the image on the left side of the card. All you need do to is: add the `.card-aside` class to the element with the `.card` class. Then add the image in the `.card-aside-column` element. No worries, tabler will automatically center it and scale to right size:
{% example html columns=2 %}
{% include cards/blog-single.html type="aside" liked=1 %}
{% endexample %}
### Color variations
{% example html columns=2 %}
<divclass="row row-cards row-deck">
<divclass="col-md-6">
{% include cards/card.html title="Card status" hide-options=true status="purple" %}
</div>
<divclass="col-md-6">
{% include cards/card.html title="Card status on left side" hide-options=true status-left="blue" %}
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
### Card with switch
{% example html columns=1 %}
{% include cards/card.html title="Card with switch" show-switch=true %}
{% endexample %}
### Card with loader
{% example html columns=1 %}
{% include cards/card.html title="Card with loader" hide-options=true show-loader=true %}
