Horizontal in React Card component

7 Oct 202513 minutes to read

By default, all card elements are aligned vertically in a stacked layout following the natural DOM flow. The horizontal layout provides an alternative arrangement where card elements are positioned side-by-side, creating a more compact and visually engaging presentation for content that benefits from lateral organization.

To achieve horizontal alignment, add the e-card-horizontal class to the root card element. This transforms the default vertical layout into a horizontal arrangement where child elements flow from left to right.

Stacked cards

  • An horizontally aligned card can push a specific column to align vertical using e-card-stacked class.
    This will align the stacked section vertically aligned differentiating from horizontal layout.
Class Description
e-card-horizontal Aligns card elements horizontally in a side-by-side layout.
e-card-stacked Forces vertical alignment for specific sections within a horizontal layout. 
        <div className="e-card e-card-horizontal">
            <img src="code1.png" alt="Sample">   --> Aligned horizontally
            <div className="e-card-stacked">         --> Horizontal container
               // Inside this element, all content flows vertically
            </div>
        </div>
