## Examples

### Basic Card

Basic cards aren't very exciting, but they can display any content you want them to.

```html:preview
<terra-card class="card-basic" style="max-width: 300px;">
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
</terra-card>
```

### Card with Header

Headers can be used to display titles and more.

```html:preview
<terra-card class="card-header" style="max-width: 300px;">
  <div slot="header" style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between;">
    <h3 style="margin: 0;">Mission Overview</h3>
    <terra-icon name="outline-cog-6-tooth" library="heroicons"></terra-icon>
  </div>

</terra-card>
```

### Card with Footer

Footers can be used to display actions, summaries, or other relevant content.

```html:preview
<terra-card class="card-footer" style="max-width: 300px;">
  Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

  <div slot="footer" style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;">
    <terra-button variant="primary">View Details</terra-button>
  </div>
</terra-card>
```

### Images

Cards accept an `image` slot. The image is displayed atop the card and stretches to fit.

```html:preview
<terra-card class="card-image" style="max-width: 300px;">
  <img
    slot="image"
    src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1541873676-a18131494184?w=400"
    alt="NASA astronaut in spacesuit at Johnson Space Center"
  />

```

### Complete Card

Cards can include all slots together: image, header, body, and footer.

```html:preview
<terra-card class="card-complete" style="max-width: 300px;">
  <img
    slot="image"
    src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1541873676-a18131494184?w=500"

  />

  <div slot="header">

  </div>

    <terra-button variant="primary" pill>Read More</terra-button>
  </div>
</terra-card>
```

### Custom Styling

You can customize cards using CSS custom properties.

```html:preview
<terra-card style="--border-color: var(--terra-color-nasa-blue); --border-width: 2px; --padding: 2rem; max-width: 300px;">
  This card has custom border color, width, and padding.
</terra-card>
```
