Angular Material Card

Angular Material Card Component is a container component that holds title text, image, and action buttons to represent a single or specific subject.

Angular Material provides a wide range of web components which are very easy to implement and use in Angular applications for creating card, badge, forms, steps, menu etc. In this example we will learn how to create step by step form in angular app using material card.

Table of Contents

Angular Material Basic card sections

Syntax :

<mat-card>     </mat-card>

The most basic card needs only an <mat-card> element with some content. However, Angular Material provides a number of preset sections that you can use inside of an <mat-card>:

Element	Description
`<mat-card-title>`	Card title
`<mat-card-subtitle>`	Card subtitle
`<mat-card-content>`	Primary card content. Intended for blocks of text
`<img mat-card-image>`	Card image. Stretches the image to the container width
`<mat-card-actions>`	Container for buttons at the bottom of the card
`<mat-card-footer>`	Section anchored to the bottom of the card

These elements primary serve as pre-styled content containers without any additional APIs. However, the align property on <mat-card-actions> can be used to position the actions at the 'start' or 'end' of the container.

Angular Material Card headers

In addition to the aforementioned sections, <mat-card-header> gives the ability to add a rich header to a card. This header can contain:

Element	Description
`<mat-card-title>`	A title within the header
`<mat-card-subtitle>`	A subtitle within the header
`<img mat-card-avatar>`	An image used as an avatar within the header

Angular Material Card With Title and Subtitle

Apart from the basic card component without any specific sections, We can provide a Title and Subtitle as well, we can make use of the in-built selector with the card header, below you can find the syntax for the same.

Syntax :


<mat-card-title>               <mat-card-title>
<mat-card-subtitle>            </mat-card-subtitle>
