# Source Link Cards block

> Compact info card grid with icon-label header, description, and source link in framed panels

Responsive 3-column grid of compact info cards using ReUI Frame, FrameHeader, and FramePanel. Each card pairs an icon-and-label header with a short description and an underlined source link. For stat tiles, resource lists, or dashboard cards.

- Type: Pro block
- Category: [Card](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card.md)
- Page: https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card/card-18
- MCP: `get_block("card-18")`
- Built with: Frame
- Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license; setup: https://web.dev.reui.io/docs/license-setup

## Best for

Source cards with an icon and label header, a short summary and a link that shows a shortened source URL

## Agent notes

- Replace `CARDS` in data.tsx; each `label`, `icon` and `description` is a sample market, revenue or shipment source
- Each `link` is display text cut short by hand and the anchor points at a hash; add a URL field to `ICard` and let CSS truncate the text

## When not to use

- A metric label header above a linked section title, with no URL line: use [Linked Metric Tiles](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card/card-26.md) (`get_block("card-26")`)
- Inventory counts with an Edit, Copy link and Delete menu on every tile: use [Inventory Counters](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card/card-33.md) (`get_block("card-33")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/card-18
```

## About Card blocks

### When to use

- Rows and grids of KPI tiles, each a value and a label with an optional trend badge or icon
- Grids of small linked cards for features, setup steps, guides, integrations or partner logos
- One record or offer per card: a profile, applicant, delivery, meeting, job, asset price or promo

### When not to use

- A metric panel with a progress bar, a segmented gauge or supporting rows under the total: use the [Stats blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/stats.md)
- A KPI whose trend over time is plotted, with a period switcher or tooltips: use the [Area Chart blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/chart/area-chart.md)
- A whole overview page: a header, a row of KPI tiles, then a work list or trend panel: use the [Dashboard blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/dashboard.md)

### Agent notes

- Every block centers itself in a padded `min-h-svh` wrapper in page.tsx or its root component; remove it when the card goes inside your own page

Every ReUI item has a twin like this one; the index is https://web.dev.reui.io/llms.txt. Agents with the ReUI MCP (https://web.dev.reui.io/docs/mcp) get the same guidance from the getters named above.
