Ionic Cards

To organize information in mobile devices cards are great way. They contain our content in a well organize manner. To display so much content and information at once we use ionic cards. As we know that mobile devices have smaller screen size and to display information on that devices cards are the best ionic component to show such type of data or information. The design pattern of cards adopts many companies such as Google and Twitter.

How to add card component

Ionic cards can be added by defining card class in a div or using <ion-card> tag. Cards are usually formed as list with item class. Here we use two additional classes, item and item with text-wrap class. And we wrap this additional classes (item item-text-wrap) with our card class to display cards. Below are the code snippet to create ionic cards with or without text wrap.

      <ion-content>
        <ion-card>            
          <ion-item class="item">

      <ion-content>
        <div class="list card">
          <ion-card>            
            <ion-item class="item">
              Title goes here.
            </ion-item>
            <ion-item class="item item-image">
