  1. CARDS CSS TAILWIND 26 Sep 2023 10 min read Make Beautiful Tailwind Cards That Inspire Your Users Ayodele Samuel Adebayo In this article, we’ll explore how to create cards with Tailwind CSS, and add images and responsive designs. We also showcase practical examples to inspire your next project. What are Tailwind CSS Cards? Tailwind CSS Cards are versatile and highly customizable components that streamline the process of presenting data entries and information in a visually appealing and well-structured manner. Accordingly, these cards are designed to provide a clean and organized layout, allowing users to consume and understand the content displayed easily. How to Create Cards with Tailwind CSS

  2. We can create a Tailwind Card by bringing multiple Tailwind CSS components together. So, we’re going to discuss some of the elements that make up a card in Tailwind CSS. The basic elements of a card include the following: Card container Card title Card description Card button Image Cover Create a Card Container The card container will be the wrapper of our card, and it’ll look something like the following: <div class="max-w-sm rounded-lg border border-gray-200 shadow"> ... </div> This ensures that our card won’t be bigger than the sm width and applies a border-radius of 8px, a gray border, a white background, and a shadow. Card Title Next, we’ll add a card title. A card title can be the product name, a user’s full name, or any title about the card’s content. However, there are some cards with optional header titles. <h2 class="mb-2 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900"> Card Title </h2> Card Description The card description contains more context about the card item, such as a category, group, etc. This also allows the user to know more about the title of the card. <p class="mb-3 text-gray-700"> Card description </p> Card Button The card button allows us to create a CTA (call to action) within a card. Thus, this allows us to perform actions like add to cart or redirect the user to a product full page. <button class="rounded-lg bg-blue-700 px-3 py-2 text-center text-sm font-medium text-

  3. white hover:bg-blue-800 focus:outline-none focus:ring-4 focus:ring-blue-300"> Card button </button> Card Outcome Now that we know how to create a button, by putting everything together, our final card code will look something like below: <div class="max-w-sm rounded-lg border border-gray-200 p-5 shadow"> <h2 class="mb-2 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900">Card Title</h2> <div class="flex flex-col items-start"> <p class="mb-3 text-gray-700">Card description</p> <button class="rounded-lg bg-blue-700 px-3 py-2 text-center text-sm font-medium text-white hover:bg-blue-800 focus:outline-none focus:ring-4 focus:ring-blue-300">Card button</button> </div> </div> Our output will be as shown here: Tailwind Cards with Image Cover Cover images are an essential component of a blog post or profile card. We can use the following code snippet to add a cover image to a Tailwind card.

  4. <div class="max-w-sm rounded-lg border border-gray-200 p-5 shadow"> <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/640x360" class="mb-2 rounded-lg" /> <h2 class="mb-2 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900">Card Title</h2> <div class="flex flex-col items-start"> <p class="mb-3 text-gray-700">Card description</p> <button class="rounded-lg bg-blue-700 px-3 py-2 text-center text-sm font-medium text-white hover:bg-blue-800 focus:outline-none focus:ring-4 focus:ring-blue-300">Card button</button> </div> </div> Here, we’re only adding the img ta above the card title, this update will give us the following result. Tailwind Card Directions Tailwind cards can be designed as either vertical or horizontal, depending on your design requirements and breakpoints. In this section, we’re going to showcase the vertical and horizontal card directions. Horizontal Tailwind Cards Horizontal Tailwind cards are particularly well-suited for displaying content in a compact (child elements aligned horizontally) side-by-side layout. As a result, this makes them ideal for scenarios where you need to present multiple pieces of information or images in a concise and organized manner.

  5. By arranging the card elements horizontally, you can optimize the use of available screen space. This ensures that your design remains visually appealing and user-friendly across a wide range of devices. To achieve this vertical arrangement, you can utilize the powerful Tailwind CSS utility classes such as flex, flex-row, or grid, which allow you to effortlessly control the direction and alignment of the card components. Vertical Tailwind Cards In contrast to the horizontal Tailwind cards, the vertical Tailwind cards are designed to flow from top to bottom, with child elements being aligned vertically. This layout is particularly useful for displaying content in a stacked manner, making it easier to read and comprehend.

  6. To achieve this vertical arrangement, you can utilize the powerful Tailwind CSS utility classes such as flex, flex-col, or grid, which allow you to effortlessly control the direction and alignment of the card components. By Tailwind utility classes, you can create visually appealing and highly functional horizontal and vertical Tailwind cards that cater to your specific design requirements and breakpoints. How to make a responsive card in Tailwind CSS? To make a responsive card in Tailwind CSS, we can combine the knowledge of card direction with the device breakpoint classes i.e. The card will be vertical on smaller screens while the card will be horizontal on medium and large screens as demonstrated below.

  7. The major breakpoint we’re using here is the md: utility class: medium screen size. You can learn more about the Tailwind breakpoints from here. <div class="flex h-screen items-center justify-center px-5"> <a href="#" class="flex flex-col items-center rounded-lg overflow-hidden border border-gray-200 bg-white shadow hover:bg-gray-100 md:max-w-xl md:flex-row"> <img class="w-full object-cover md:h-auto md:w-48 md:rounded-none" src="https://via.placeholder.com/640x360" alt="" /> <div class="flex flex-col justify-between p-4 leading-normal"> <h5 class="mb-2 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900"> Introduction to React </h5> <p class="mb-3 font-normal text-gray-700"> React is a popular frontend library used for creating UI components. </p> </div> </a> </div> You can learn about the basics of Tailwind Flexbox from the tutorial video below.

  8. Tailwind Card Group Hover Effects We can add a group hover effect on the card by using the Tailwind group utility classes, as demonstrated below. To achieve this, we’ll add the group class name to the card container and specify the changes we want to the card body. <div class="flex h-screen items-center justify-center px-5"> <a href="#" class="group flex flex-col items-center overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-gray-200 bg-white shadow hover:bg-blue-50 md:max-w-xl md:flex-row"> <img class="w-full object-cover md:h-auto md:w-48 md:rounded-none" src="https://via.placeholder.com/640x500" alt="" /> <div class="flex flex-col justify-between p-4 leading-normal"> <h5 class="mb-2 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900 group-hover:text- blue-400">Introduction to React</h5> <p class="mb-3 font-normal text-gray-700 group-hover:text-red-400">React is a popular frontend library used for creating UI components.</p> </div> </a> </div> Examples of Tailwind Cards?

  9. Below, you will find a diverse range of Tailwind CSS card examples that indeed demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of Tailwind Cards and their various applications. In any case, these examples showcase how developers can leverage the robust utility classes provided by Tailwind CSS to create visually appealing, responsive, and mobile-friendly cards that cater to a wide array of design needs and use cases.
