December 12, 2024

Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To aHoisting!

To use bootstrap card you have to import card from react-bootstrap, and then use it. That’s how you can use a bootstrap card.

Today, I am going to show you, how to use bootstrap card in react js.

Table of contents

Install and create a new React app.
Import react component.
Create a Component.

Let’s start with the first step.

Step 1: Install and create a new React app.

First you have to install the React project. You should use create-react-app command to create a new React project.

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Step 2: Import react component.

After installing, you have to import your React component.

import Button from 'react-bootstrap/Button';
import Card from 'react-bootstrap/Card';
import Placeholder from 'react-bootstrap/Placeholder';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';

Step 3: Create a Component.

You can use <Card> to use bootstrap card in react js.

 <div className="d-flex justify-content-around">
      <Card style={{ width: '18rem' }}>
        <Card.Img variant="top" src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" />
        <Card.Body>
          <Card.Title>Card Title</Card.Title>
          <Card.Text>
            Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the
            bulk of the card's content.
          </Card.Text>
          <Button variant="primary">Go somewhere</Button>
        </Card.Body>
      </Card>

Use bootstrap card example.

The below code is an example of a React. You have to import card from react-bootstrap to use bootstrap card in react js.

App.js

import Button from 'react-bootstrap/Button';
import Card from 'react-bootstrap/Card';
import Placeholder from 'react-bootstrap/Placeholder';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="d-flex justify-content-around">
      <Card style={{ width: '18rem' }}>
        <Card.Img variant="top" src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" />
        <Card.Body>
          <Card.Title>Card Title</Card.Title>
          <Card.Text>
            Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the
            bulk of the card's content.
          </Card.Text>
          <Button variant="primary">Go somewhere</Button>
        </Card.Body>
      </Card>

      <Card style={{ width: '18rem' }}>
        <Card.Img variant="top" src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" />
        <Card.Body>
          <Placeholder as={Card.Title} animation="glow">
            <Placeholder xs={6} />
          </Placeholder>
          <Placeholder as={Card.Text} animation="glow">
            <Placeholder xs={7} /> <Placeholder xs={4} /> <Placeholder xs={4} />{' '}
            <Placeholder xs={6} /> <Placeholder xs={8} />
          </Placeholder>
          <Placeholder.Button variant="primary" xs={6} />
        </Card.Body>
      </Card>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

In the above code example, I have used the <Card> component to use bootstrap card in react js.

Check the output of the above code.

All the best 👍
