Overview
An <sp-card>
represents a rectangular card that contains
a variety of text and image layouts. Cards are typically used
to encapsulate units of a data set, such as a gallery of
image/caption pairs.
Usage
yarn add @spectrum-web-components/card
Import the side effectful registration of <sp-card>
via:
import '@spectrum-web-components/card/sp-card.js';
When looking to leverage the Card
base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:
import { Card } from '@spectrum-web-components/card';
Anatomy
Normal cards can contain a heading, a subheading, a cover photo, and a footer.

#### Heading
By default, the heading for an `<sp-card>` is applied via the `heading` attribute, which is restricted to string content only. For HTML content, use the `heading` slot instead.
<sp-tabs selected="heading-attribute" auto label="Heading">
<sp-tab value="heading-attribute">attribute</sp-tab>
<sp-tab-panel value="heading-attribute">
```html demo
<sp-card
heading="Card Heading"
subheading="JPG Photo"
style="--spectrum-card-body-header-height: auto;"
>
<img alt="" slot="cover-photo" src="https://picsum.photos/250/300" />
<div slot="footer">Footer</div>
</sp-card>
</sp-tab-panel>
<sp-tab value="heading-slot">slot</sp-tab>
<sp-tab-panel value="heading-slot">```html demo
<sp-card subheading="JPG Photo" style="--spectrum-card-body-header-height: auto;" >

</sp-tab-panel>
</sp-tabs>
#### Linking
An `<sp-card>` can be provided with an `href` attribute in order for it to act as one large anchor element. When leveraging the `href` attribute, the `download`, `target` and `rel` attributes customize the card's linking behavior. Use them as follows:
```html demo
<sp-card
heading="Card Title"
subheading="JPG"
href="https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components"
target="_blank"
>
<img
slot="cover-photo"
src="https://picsum.photos/200/300"
alt="Demo Image"
/>
</sp-card>
Cover Photo
Use slot="cover-photo"
on an image to set it as the card's cover photo.
```html demo
<sp-card heading="Card Heading" subheading="JPG Photo">
#### Preview Image
Use `slot="preview"` on an image to set it as the card's preview image.
```html demo
<sp-card heading="Card Title" subheading="JPG">
<img slot="preview" src="https://picsum.photos/200/300" alt="Demo Image" />
<div slot="footer">Footer</div>
</sp-card>
No Preview Image
Cards with no preview image can contain a heading, a subheading, and a footer.
```html demo
<sp-card heading="Card Title" subheading="No Preview Image">
#### Actions
Cards can be supplied an `actions` via a names slot.
```html
<sp-card heading="Card Heading" subheading="JPG Photo">
<img
slot="cover-photo"
src="https://picsum.photos/200/300"
alt="Demo Image"
/>
<div slot="footer">Footer</div>

<img alt="" slot="cover-photo" src="https://picsum.photos/200/250" />
<div slot="description">10/15/18</div>

Variant
There are multiple card variants to choose from in Spectrum. The variant
attribute controls the main variant of the card.
Cards with variant="quiet"
can contain a heading, a subheading, a cover photo, a description, and a footer. Quiet cards will also accept actions
via a named slot.
<sp-card variant="quiet" heading="Card Heading" subheading="JPG Photo">
<img alt="" slot="preview" src="https://picsum.photos/200/350" />
<div slot="description">10/15/18</div>

<sp-menu-item>Feather...</sp-menu-item>
<sp-menu-item>Select and Mask...</sp-menu-item>
<sp-menu-divider></sp-menu-divider>
<sp-menu-item>Save Selection</sp-menu-item>
<sp-menu-item disabled>Make Work Path</sp-menu-item>
</sp-action-menu>
</sp-card>
Cards with variant="gallery"
can contain a heading, a subheading, an image preview, a description, and a footer.
<sp-card variant="gallery" heading="Card Heading" subheading="JPG Photo">
<img alt="" slot="preview" src="https://picsum.photos/532/192" />
<div slot="description">10/15/18</div>
<div slot="footer">Footer</div>
</sp-card>
Asset
When leveraging the asset
attribute, a card can be declared as representing a file
or a folder
:
<sp-card heading="Card Heading" subheading="JPG Photo" asset="file">
<div slot="heading">File Name</div>
<div slot="description">10/15/18</div>
<div slot="footer">Footer</div>
</sp-card>
<sp-card subheading="JPG Photo" asset="folder">
<div slot="heading">Folder Name</div>
<div slot="description">10/15/18</div>
<div slot="footer">Footer</div>
</sp-card>
Accessibility
Be concise
Heading text should be no more than 5-7 words. If the card has an href
, the heading is used as a link and should ideally be no more than 3 words. For buttons, 1-2 words.
Use descriptive heading, link, and button text
Be descriptive. Set expectations on what someone will find and where they will go once they interact with a card. Avoid using the same text on more than one interactive element, unless both elements go to the same place.
Make the first word in a heading meaningful
Consider making the first word of links, buttons and headings something an assistive technology user might search for when headings and links are listed alphabetically.
