When to use

Titled sections with body copy and footer actions, such as a help notice or a sign in form
Image tiles with a photo above the copy or filling the tile under a dark text overlay
Dashboard widgets such as a KPI with a trend, a usage meter or a deployment or integration status

When not to use

A finished grid of KPI tiles, feature links or profile records ready to drop in: use the Card blocks
A KPI panel with a range filter, a segmented meter or an activity feed beneath it: use the Stats blocks
A preview that pops up over a link while the pointer rests on it: use the Hover Card component

Agent notes

Each example caps Card with max-w-xs, max-w-sm or max-w-md; drop the cap when the card should fill a grid cell or column
size sm on Card tightens padding and gaps in every style; none of these examples sets it, so try it before padding overrides

Shadcn Card: Flexible Content Containers

Shadcn Card is a container primitive for grouping related content with consistent spacing and borders. It follows Radix UI composition conventions and Base UI-style flexibility, with full compatibility for Shadcn Create styling.

It renders with optional header, footer, title, description, and action elements, using flexbox to arrange content without rigid structure.

ReUI lists card components inside dashboards, product grids, and list views so you evaluate density, actions, and how cards pair with images, badges, and tables. The sections below explain what it is, why teams use it, key features, and integration guidance.

What is Shadcn Card?

A card is a rectangular container with consistent padding, borders, and background color used to group related content. Shadcn Card composes CardHeader, CardTitle, CardDescription, CardContent, and CardFooter so you can build flexible layouts.

Components here show stat cards (KPI + chart), product cards (image + title + price + button), user cards (avatar + name + role + action), and list cards (checkbox + text + actions). They help you choose layouts and understand density.

Why Use Shadcn Card?

Cards create visual hierarchy and make scanning easier. Dashboards, product grids, and list views use cards to separate content blocks and reduce cognitive load.

The dashboards and grids on this page show how cards pair with images, buttons, and metadata.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use a card vs. a list item or table row?

Cards for rich content (images, multiple fields, actions). List items for simple text. Tables for tabular data. Cards are heavier; use them when space and presentation matter.

Should cards have a click action?

Yes, if they're selectable or link to detail pages. Make the entire card clickable with cursor-pointer. Use nested Shadcn Button for secondary actions (not the whole card).

How should I handle card actions?

Put primary action (view, edit, select) at card level or in CardFooter. Secondary actions (delete, share) in a menu or CardHeader. Keep action affordance clear.

Can I make cards horizontally scrollable on mobile?

Yes. Use overflow-x-auto and set flex basis for consistency. Pair with snap-scroll for better UX.

How are ReUI card components different from code snippets?

They show cards in grids, lists, and dashboards with real content and spacing, not isolated components.
