Card

Cards are flexible-size container that display content and actions on a single topic. They can display featured information, related content, or navigational choices.

Use Cases

User should be able to:

  • Focus on all buttons (the main button and the nested actions icon button)
  • View clear label and instructions
  • Navigate and interact with the component
  • Should be able to receive appropriate feedback based on input type documented under interactive style

Interaction and Style

Relevant WCAG Requirements

  • Info and Relationships

    Ensure information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are available in text. This means use proper HTML elements to structure your content, so it makes sense when read by assistive technology.

  • Keyboard

    Ensure all functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface. This allows users who can't use a mouse or touchscreen to navigate and use your content.

  • Name, Role, Value

    For all user interface components (including but not limited to: form elements, links and components generated by scripts), the name and role can be programmatically determined; states, properties, and values that can be set by the user can be programmatically set; and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive technologies.
