# oh-card - Card
[[toc]]
The `oh-card` component provides the basic structure for all other card widgets.
It is providing a default implementation for both title and footer, and requires the content to be defined in the `content` slot.
Optionally, header and footer can be overwritten by providing the `header` and `footer` slots (see [Slots](#slots)).
`oh-card` also provides full control over its style as well as header, content and footer style (see [Style](#style)).
## Configuration
### Card
Parameters of the card
Title of the card
Footer of the card
Do not render the card border
Do not render a shadow effect to the card
Show the card outline
### Action
Action to perform when the element is clicked
Type of action to perform
URL to navigate to or to send HTTP request to
Open the URL in the same tab/window instead of a new one. This will exit the app.
HTTP method to use for the request
Body to send with the request
Item to perform the action on
Command to send to the Item. If "Toogle Item" is selected as the action, only send the command when the state is different
Command to send to the Item when "Toggle Item" is selected as the action, and the Item's state is equal to the command above
Comma-separated list of options; if omitted, retrieve the command options from the Item dynamically. Use value=label
format to provide a label different than the option.
Scene, Script or Rule to run
Object representing the optional context to pass. Edit in YAML or provide a JSON object, e.g. { "param1": "value1", "param2": { "subkey1": "testing", "subkey2": 123 } }
.
Page to navigate to
Use a specific page transition animation
Page or widget to display in the modal
Configuration (prop values) for the target modal page or widget
Array of URLs or objects representing the images. Auto-refresh is not supported.
Edit in YAML, e.g.
- item: ImageItem1
caption: Camera
or provide a JSON array, e.g.
[ "url1", { "item": "ImageItem1", "caption": "Camera" } ]
Objects are in the photos array format with an additional item
property to specify an item to view.
Configuration for the photo browser.
Edit in YAML or provide a JSON object, e.g.
{ "exposition": false, "type": "popup", "theme": "dark" }
See photo browser parameters (not all are supported).
Group Item whose members to show in a popup
Start analyzing with the specified (set of) Item(s)
The initial analyzing period - dynamic or a predefined fixed period: day, week, month or year
The initial coordinate system of the analyzer - time, aggregate or calendar (only time is supported for dynamic periods)
Shows a dialog or sheet to ask for confirmation before the action is executed. Can either be a text to show in the dialog or a JSON object { type: "dialog", title: "Confirm", text: "Are you sure?" }
or { type: "sheet", text: "Confirm", color: "green" }
Shows a toast popup when the action has been executed. Can either be a text to show or a JSON object including some of the supported parameters
The variable name to set
The value to set the variable to
Consider the variable value is an object and set the corresponding deep property within that object using a key syntax. Examples: user.name
, user[0].address[1].street
, [0]
, [0].label
. The inner property and its parent hierarchy will be created if missing.
### Tap Hold
Action performed when tapping and holding card (or calling contextual menu on desktop)

## Slots
You need to define either one of these two slots:
- `content`: The default slot for content, which will then be rendered inside a `f7-card-content` element.
- `content-root`: The slot for content that should be rendered directly inside the card, without any additional wrapping element.
If this slot is defined, the `content` slot will be ignored, and you have to implement the handling of `config.contentStyle` and `config.contentClass` yourself.
Optionally, you can define these slots:
- `header`: The slot for the header content, which will replace the default header.
- `footer`: The slot for the footer content, which will replace the default footer.
## Style
`oh-card` provides full control over the style of itself as well as the header, content and footer.
The card itself can be styled through the `style` and `class` config properties,
while the header, content and footer can be styled through the `headerStyle`, `headerClass`, `contentStyle`, `contentClass`, `footerStyle` and `footerClass` properties.
## Example
![](./images/oh-card/example.png)
This card can be created using the following YAML definition:
```yaml
component: oh-card
config:
title: Title
footer: Footer
style: {} # Card style
class: [] # Card classes
headerStyle: {} # Header style
headerClass: [] # Header classes
contentStyle: {} # Content style
contentClass: [] # Content classes
footerStyle: {} # Footer style
footerClass: [] # Footer classes
slots:
content:
- component: oh-button
config:
text: Content
```
Without using the `oh-card` component, the same card can be created by directly using the Framework7 components:
```yaml
component: f7-card
config:
style: {} # Card style
class: [] # Card classes
slots:
default:
- component: f7-card-header
config:
style: {} # Header style
class: [] # Header classes
slots:
default:
- component: Label
config:
text: Title
- component: f7-card-content
config:
style: {} # Content style
class: [] # Content classes
slots:
default:
- component: oh-button
config:
text: Content
- component: f7-card-footer
config:
style: {} # Footer style
class: [] # Footer classes
slots:
default:
- component: Label
config:
text: Footer
```
