Card

Overview

A card formats content in a small, contained space. It can be used to display a preview of information or provide secondary content in relation to the content it's near. Several cards can be used together to group related information.

These Card patterns document different design-approved uses of the <rh-card> element. Consult the <rh-card> element documentation for more information on how to use the card element.

Customizing cards

Cards act as both themable containers and also respond to the color theme from their themable containers.

To customize a card the design tokens must be altered. These design tokens are different depending on the context for the card (light or dark theme).

Examples include:

• --rh-color-surface-lightest
• --rh-color-border-subtle-on-light
• --rh-color-text-primary-on-light

For more information, please see the docs on theming and <rh-card> css custom properties.

Color Palettes

Cards will automatically react to the color-palette context provided by a parent element, like <rh-surface>.

Explicit card theming

Cards can play an active role in theming by declaring a specific color-palette.

Example

Card title

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.

Custom theming

When using design tokens to apply custom themes, it is important to ensure that the colors used meet color contrast guidelines.

Example

Card title

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.
