Cards

Card component contain and organize your information. Cards contains unique related data, for example, a photo, text, and form element all about a single subject.

Initialization

Auto initialization

To auto-initialize the card elements, simply put the mbsc-card attribute on the container element. The card elements inside the container will be automatically initialized when the page is loaded.

<div mbsc-card>
    <div class="mbsc-card-header">
        <h2 class="mbsc-card-title">Title</h2>
        <h3 class="mbsc-card-subtitle">Subtitle</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
        This is a text within the content block.
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
        This is a footer
        <button onClick="mobiscroll.toast({ message: 'Button was clicked' });">Click for action</button>
    </div>
</div>

Manual Initialization

The card can also initialized manually, just like any other Mobiscroll component.

HTML
<div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-header">
        <h2 class="mbsc-card-title">Title</h2>
        <h3 class="mbsc-card-subtitle">Subtitle</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
        This is a text within the content block.
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
        This is a footer
        <button onClick="mobiscroll.toast({ message: 'Button was clicked' });">Click for action</button>
    </div>
</div>
Javascript
mobiscroll.card('#my-card', {
    theme: 'material'
});

If the card container is added later to the DOM, e.g. with an Ajax page load, a custom event named mbsc-enhance needs to be triggered in order to initialize the dynamically added content.

Content types

Cards support a wide variety of content, including images, text, list, form elements and more. Below are examples of what’s supported.

Card layout

Cards are primarily a CSS component. To use a basic card, follow this structure:

<div mbsc-card>
    <div class="mbsc-card-header">
        <h2 class="mbsc-card-title">Title</h2>
        <h3 class="mbsc-card-subtitle">Subtitle</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
        This is a text within the content block.
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
        This is a footer.
    </div>
</div>

Where

Images in cards

The images which are supported by the mobiscroll are supported inside the card component as well. By default the images inside a card are displayed with full width.

Avatar image example
<div mbsc-card>
    <div class="mbsc-card-header">
        <img src="women_profile.png" class="mbsc-avatar">
        <h5 class="mbsc-card-title">Johana Doe</h5>
        <div class="mbsc-card-subtitle"> at 4:55 PM</div>
    </div>
    <img src="https://mobiscroll.com/content/img/demos/card_4.png">
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
       Card content...
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
        <button class="mbsc-btn-flat" data-icon="line-heart">Like</button>
    </div>
</div>
Fluid image example
<div mbsc-card>
    <img src="https://mobiscroll.com/content/img/demos/card_4.png">
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
       Card content...
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
        <button class="mbsc-btn-flat" data-icon="line-heart">Button</button>
    </div>
</div>
Thumbnail image example
<div mbsc-card>
    <img class="mbsc-img-thumbnail mbsc-pull-left" src="https://mobiscroll.com/content/img/demos/card_4.png" style="width: 100px; height:100px;">
    <div class="mbsc-card-header">
        <div class="mbsc-card-title">Article title</div>
        <div class="mbsc-card-subtitle">Subtitle</div>
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
        Article text...
    </div>
</div>

Using form elements

Mobiscroll form elements will be automatically enhanced inside the card container.

Form elements example
<div mbsc-card>
    <div class="mbsc-card-header">
        <div class="mbsc-card-title">Groceries</div>
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-content">
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" >
            almond milk
        </label>
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" >
            coconut water
        </label>
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" checked>
            cucumber
        </label>
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" >
            green apples
        </label>
    </div>
    <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
        <button class="mbsc-btn-flat">Share</button>
    </div>
</div>

Using with Listview

The Listview can be used inside the card as in any other container. If a card component is initialized on a Listview item, that will be styled as a card. In this case the list container will need a mbsc-card-list class.

Cards intilized on Listview items
<ul class="list-check mbsc-card-list">
    <li mbsc-card>
        <div class="mbsc-card-header">
            <img src="women_profile.png" class="mbsc-avatar">
            <h5 class="mbsc-card-title mbsc-bold">Johana Doe</h5>
            <div class="mbsc-card-subtitle"> at 4:55 PM</div>
        </div>
        <div class="mbsc-card-content">
            Here will be the content text.
        </div>
    </li>
    <li mbsc-card>
        <img class="mbsc-img-thumbnail mbsc-pull-right" src="card_3.png">
        <div class="mbsc-card-content">
            <div class="mbsc-card-title">Article card</div>
            Article content
        </div>
        <div class="mbsc-card-footer">
            <button class="mbsc-btn-flat">Button</button>
        </div>
    </li>
</ul>

The Accordion component will help organizing the collapsible cards. Accordion allows showing only one collapsible item at the same time.

Attributes

Name Description
data-collapsible If a card has the data-collapsible attribute, the card content will be collapsible. Collapsed is the default state of the collapsible content. It can be changed wit the help of the data-open property.
data-open If a card group has the data-open attribute, the collapsible content will be opened by default.

Typescript Types

When using with typescript, the following types are available for the Card:

Type Description
Card Type of the Card instance
MbscCardOptions Type of the settings object that is used to initialize the component

Options

Name Type Default value Description
collapsible Boolean undefined If it is defined the card content will be collapsible and clicking on the card header will be the trigger to collapse. It accepts a boolean value if true the collapsible will be opened by default.
context String, HTMLElement 'body' The DOM element in which the component is appended and positioned (if not inline). Can be a selector string or a DOM element.
theme String undefined

Sets the visual appearance of the component.

If it is 'auto' or undefined, the theme will automatically be chosen based on the platform.

If the theme for the specific platform is not present, it will default to the Mobiscroll theme.

Supplied themes:
  • 'bootstrap' - Bootstrap themes
  • 'ios' - iOS theme
  • 'material' - Material theme
  • 'mobiscroll' - Mobiscroll theme
  • 'windows' - Windows theme
It's possible to modify theme colors or create custom themes.
Starting from v4.9.0 setting directly the dark version of the theme is deprecated. Use the themeVariant option instead to control the light / dark appearance of the theme.
Make sure that the theme you set is included in the downloaded package.
themeVariant String undefined

Controls which variant of the theme will be used (light or dark).

Possible values:
  • 'light' - Use the light variant of the theme.
  • 'dark' - Use the dark variant of the theme.
  • 'auto' or undefined - Detect the preferred system theme on devices where this is supported.

If not set, only the theme setting will determine which theme to use.

To use the option with custom themes, make sure to create two custom themes, where the dark version has the same name as the light one, suffixed with '-dark', e.g.: 'my-theme' and 'my-theme-dark'.

The option will not have any effect if the theme option explicitly sets the dark version of a theme, e.g. theme: 'ios-dark'.

Customizing the appearance

While the provided pre-built themes are enough in many use cases, most of the times on top of adapting to a specific platform, you'd also like to match a brand or color scheme. Mobiscroll provides various ways to achieve this:

Override the Sass Color Variables

A convenient way to customize the colors of the Mobiscroll components is to override the Sass color variables.

Let's say your branding uses a nice red accent color, and you'd like that color to appear on the Mobiscroll components as well, while still using platform specific themes (e.g. ios on iOS devices, material on Android devices, and mobiscroll on desktop). You can override the accent color for every theme:

$mbsc-ios-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-material-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-mobiscroll-accent: #e61d2a;

@import "~@mobiscroll/Javascript/dist/css/mobiscroll.javascript.scss"
It's important that you override the variables BEFORE the scss file import, otherwise it won't make any difference.
Here's a complete guide on how to set up Mobiscroll with SASS support

You can also customize the colors on many levels:

  1. Theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-material-background, $mbsc-ios-dark-text) are applied to all components in a theme. Complete list of variables here.
  2. Component specific global variables (ex. $mbsc-card-background-light, $mbsc-listview-text-dark) are applied to all themes for a specific component.
  3. Component and theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-ios-dark-form-background, $mbsc-material-input-text) are applied to a specific theme and a specific component.

Global variables

These variables are applied to all base themes: iOS, material, windows and mobiscroll.
They all come in pairs. One for the light and one for the dark variant in each theme.

Variable name Description
$mbsc-card-background-light Sets the background color of the cards
$mbsc-card-background-dark
$mbsc-card-text-light Sets the text color of the cards
$mbsc-card-text-dark

If you really want to get sophisticated or if a color doesn't look good on a specific theme and you want to overwrite it, you can fine tune all of the above variables individually for each theme.
Below are the complete list of variables broken down to themes:
