Jump to main content

There are four card styles available to use in Vanilla: default, header, highlighted and overlay. Our card component will expand to fill the full width of its parent container.

Default

The purpose of the default card is to display information, without user interaction.

Content bleed

It is possible to have content bleed to the edges by using u-no-padding on the p-card element. Any content that requires padding can then use the .p-card__inner element.

The purpose of the header card is to display information, grouped under a heading.

Image

Any images used as part of the card content should have a .p-card__image class name.

Highlighted

The purpose of the highlighted card should be used when you can interact with the content.

Overlay

The purpose of the overlay card is to make the text visible in conjunction with a strip image.
