<mat-card> in Angular Material

Last Updated : 11 Jan, 2021

Angular Material is a UI component library that is developed by the Angular team to build design components for desktop and mobile web applications. In order to install it, we need to have angular installed in our project, once you have it you can enter the below command and can download it.

Installation syntax:

ng add @angular/material

Explanation:

<mat-card> is a content container that can be used for inserting text, photos, and actions in the context of the subject.

In Angular Material <mat-card> has many properties that we can use to build simple cards. These properties can be easily integrated, and we can code cards in an easier way. The below table has all the properties that are present in an elaborative way.

Element Name	Description of the Element
<mat-card-title>	Title of the respective card
<mat-card-subtitle>	The subtitle of the respective card
<mat-card-content>	All the data and information which is the body of the card needs to be written in this section.
<mat-card-actions>	This tag is used to mention all the events like submit, cancel and etc to be written in the card.
<mat-card-header>	It is used to mention all the details on the header of the card like title, subtitle etc.

Approach:

First, install the angular material using the above-mentioned command.
After completing the installation, Import ‘MatCardModule’ from ‘@angular/material/card’ in the app.module.ts file.
Now use the above tags mentioned in the table and code a card.
Make sure that every tag is present within the opening(<mat-card>) and closing(</mat-card>) tags.
If you are using <mat-button> then make sure that you are importing ‘MatButtonModule’ too.
Once done with the above steps then start the project.

Code Implementation:

app.module.ts:

Javascript

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; 
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; 
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; 
    
import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; 
import { MatCardModule} from '@angular/material/card';  
import { MatButtonModule} from '@angular/material/button';  
    
@NgModule({ 
  imports: 
  [ BrowserModule,  
    FormsModule,
    MatCardModule,
    MatButtonModule
 ], 
  declarations: [ AppComponent ], 
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ] 
}) 
export class AppModule { }

app.component.css:

p {
font-family: Lato;
}

.example-card {
max-width: 500px;
margin: 4px
}

mat-card-subtitle{
font-size:30px
}

mat-card-title{

            With the idea of imparting programming 
            knowledge, Mr. Sandeep Jain, an IIT Roorkee 
            alumnus started a dream, GeeksforGeeks. 
            Whether programming excites you or you feel 
            stifled, wondering how to prepare for 
            interview questions or how to ace data 
            structures and algorithms, GeeksforGeeks 
            is a one-stop solution. With every tick of 
            time, we are adding arrows in our quiver.
            From articles on various computer science 
            subjects to programming problems for practice,
            from basic to premium courses, from technologies
            to entrance examinations, we have been building
            ample content with superior quality. In a short
            span, we have built a community of 1 Million+ 
            Geeks around the world, 20,000+ Contributors and
            500+ Campus Ambassador in various colleges across
            the nation. Our success stories include a lot of
            students who benefitted in their placements and 
            landed jobs at tech giants. Our vision is to 
            build a gigantic network of geeks and we are 
            only a fraction of it yet.
