This section explains how to create a simple Card using styles by configuring the structure for the header, content, using Essential JS 2 quickstart seed repository.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

The Card is pure CSS component so no other package dependencies are needed to render the Card.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-layouts

Get Started with Vue CLI

You can use Vue CLI to setup your vue applications.
To install Vue CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @vue/cli

Start a new project using below Vue CLI command.

vue init webpack-simple quickstart

cd quickstart
npm install

Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com registry.
You can choose the component that you want to install. For this application, we are going to use Card component.

To install Card component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-layouts –save

Registering Vue Component

For Registering Vue Component two ways are available. They are as follows.

Vue.use()
Vue.component()

Since the Card is a pure CSS component there is no need to refer the scripts

Creating Vue Sample

Add the HTML div element with e-card class into the <template> section of the App.vue file in src directory, the content attribute of the Card component is provided as name in data option in the <script> section.

<template>
    <div id="app">
     <div class = "e-card">
          Sample Card
        </div>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
export default {
  name: 'app',
}
</script>

Adding CSS Reference

Add Card component’s styles as given below in <style> section of the App.vue file.

<style>
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-layouts/styles/material.css';
</style>

Adding a header and content

You can create Card with a header in a specific structure. For adding header you need to create a div element with e-card-header class added.

You can include heading inside the Card header by adding a div element with e-card-header-caption class, and also content will be added by adding element with e-card-content. For detailed information, refer to the Header and Content.

    <div class = "e-card">                    --> Root Element
        <div class="e-card-header">           --> Root Header Element
            <div class="e-card-header-caption">    --> Root Heading Element
                <div class="e-card-header-title"></div>   --> Heading Title Element
            </div>
            <div class="e-card-content"></div>         --> Card content Element
        </div>
    </div>

Running the Application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console, it will build your application and open in the browser.
