Description

Card is a block section element showing the white box with rounded gray borders, adding spacing automatically.

It uses Flex.Item under the hood. When one of these props were given, stack, direction or spacing – the Flex.Container will be used.

BETA: The design is not 100% finalised and may change to be officially approved by UX through an RFC.

import { Card } from '@dnb/eufemia'
import { Form, Field } from '@dnb/eufemia/extensions/forms'


render(
  <Form.Handler data={existingData} onSubmit={submitHandler}>
    <Card>
      <Field.Email path="/dataPath" />
      <Form.ButtonRow>
        <Form.SubmitButton />
      </Form.ButtonRow>
    </Card>
  </Form.Handler>,
)

Accessibility

It uses a section element. Which allows you to add an aria-label or aria-labelledby to provide screen readers with landmarks.

Code Editor
<Card aria-labelledby="unique-id">
  <Form.SubHeading id="unique-id" space={0}>
    Heading
  </Form.SubHeading>
  <P>Content inside a landmark ...</P>
</Card>

Code Editor
<Flex.Stack>
  <Card gap="x-small" align="stretch">
    <Form.SubHeading>Card with a nested Section</Form.SubHeading>
    <Section
      variant="info"
      innerSpace={{
        top: 'small',
        bottom: 'medium',
      }}
    >
      <Field.String label="In nested Section" />
    </Section>
  </Card>

  <Card innerSpace="x-large" stack>
    <Section
      variant="info"
      innerSpace={{
        top: 'small',
        bottom: 'medium',
      }}
    >
      <Field.String label="Card with a 'x-large' inner space" />
    </Section>
  </Card>

  <Card innerSpace={false} align="stretch">
    <Section innerSpace backgroundColor="var(--card-outline-color)">
      <Field.String label="Card with no inner space" />
    </Section>
    <P>no inner space</P>
  </Card>
</Flex.Stack>

Code Editor
const MyTable = () => (
  <Table.ScrollView>
    <Table border outline size="medium">

        <Tr noWrap>
          <Th>Column 1</Th>
          <Th>Column 2</Th>
          <Th>Column 3</Th>

          <Td>Row 1</Td>
        </Tr>
        <Tr>
          <Td colSpan={3} align="right">

          <Td>Row 3</Td>
        </Tr>
      </tbody>
    </Table>
  </Table.ScrollView>
)
render(
  <Card title="Card title" responsive={false} innerSpace={0} filled>
    <MyTable />
  </Card>,
)

With Grid

Grid wraps the Cards nicely on smaller screens.

Heading

Code Editor
<Grid.Container
  columns={{
    small: 1,
    medium: 3,
    large: 3,
  }}
  columnGap="small"
>
  <Card stack>
    <H2>Heading</H2>
    <P>Text</P>
  </Card>
  <Card stack>
    <H2>Heading</H2>
    <P>Pariatur officia sit adipisicing pariatur commodo enim do quis</P>
  </Card>
  <Card stack>
    <H2>Heading</H2>
    <P>Text</P>
  </Card>
</Grid.Container>

With Flex

While Flex has the horizontal direction, it uses rowGap when wrapping. So its the container spacing the Cards then. This is not ideal, because the Cards should ideally have no gap, like in the Grid example above.
