Frequently we need to split up several short (or not so much) pieces of information to make them stand up and get the visitor's focus-- like listing certain valuable features showing a list of short articles with a brief abstract and a solitary strong image and so on and on.
Thus we need a convenient tool to nicely cover our content in a stunning and responsive way to get it nice and neat presented on our pages. In the recent version of the most popular flexible framework-- Bootstrap 3 we employed mostly the Bootstrap Panel Body, thumbnail and well elements delivering us box containers having a subtle border, slightly rounded edges and finally-- a light 3d impact. In the latest Bootstrap 4 framework, these are no longer. They get got substituted altogether by the card section stating to be capable of pretty much everything the previous features could do but simply much better. So it's to get to learn it more.
The cards are softly styled boxes capable of carrying practically any HTML content within also featuring a bunch of predefined designing possibility for properly showcasing its article. It in addition optionally could have a header and a footer.
To make a card we initially need a
.card
.card-header
.card-block
.card-footer
.card-block
As stated above the
.card-block
To get this appearance just put the
<div class="img"><img></div>
.card-block
style=" width:100%;"
Here are several quite useful positioning classes additionally such as
.card-img-top
.card-img-bottom
.card-block
.card-block
<div>
.img-overlay
A few words regarding the design-- cards will occupy the entire horizontal area available by default so it's a smart idea limiting it by placing them inside some grid elements. By doing this you can get their expected behavior. ( read here)
Cards are built with as minimal markup and styles as possible, but still operate to present a plenty of control and modification. Built with flexbox, they present easy placement and combine well with other Bootstrap components.
Beneath is a model of a standard card with blended content and a fixed width. Cards have no fixed width to start, so they'll naturally occupy the entire width of its parent section. This is conveniently customized with a variety of sizing alternatives.

Cards provide a few options for operating using pictures. Pick from appending "image caps" at possibly end of a card, overlaying pics with card content, or simply embedding the image in a card.
Like headers and footers, cards may contain 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="img"><img class="card-img-bottom" src="..." alt="Card image cap"></div>

Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be shared to users of assistive technologies-- such as screen readers. Make sure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is featured through alternate means, like extra text hidden with the
.sr-only
In need of a colored card, but not the hefty background colors they deliver? Replace the default modifier classes with the

In addition to styling the content within cards, Bootstrap 4 offers several alternatives for laying out series of cards. For the time being, these design options are not yet responsive.
Use card groups to make cards as a single, connected item with equal 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 utilizing card groups with footers, their content is going to 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>
Need a collection of equivalent width and also height cards that typically aren't attached 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>
</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>
<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">

<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>

Cards may be arranged into Masonry-like columns along with just CSS by putting them in
.card-columns
column
Carry on! Your distance with card columns may differ. To avoid cards breaking across columns, set them to
display: inline-block
column-break-inside: avoid
<div class="card-columns">

Card columns can additionally be expanded as well as personalized with some extra code. Revealed below is an expansion of the
.card-columns
.card-columns
@include media-breakpoint-only(lg)
column-count: 4;
@include media-breakpoint-only(xl)
column-count: 5;
So actually this is the method the bright new to Bootstrap 4 card element gets efficiently built. As always aiming for ease and simplicity the new framework version combines the performance of multiple elements into a effective and single one. Now you should select the features you need to be included in some cards.
