-*The design trend of using "cards" or "tiles" to display interactive* sections/article headings in an app or website remains a popular choice among designers. So, let's build a set of animated cards with only HTML &amp; CSS.
-
-## What we will be building (live demo)
-
-This is the set of animated card tiles we will be creating:
-
-*(try hovering)*
-
-[Live CodePen](https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/rNjBpob)
-
-## The HTML
-
-For the base skeleton of these cards we only need:
-
-- a `flexbox` main container to hold everything
-- a `.card-tile` parent element
-- the inner child element that will display on `:hover`
-- proper `h4` and `p` tags inside that child element
-
----
-
- <div class="card-tiles-container">
- <div class="card-tile">
- <div class="text-content">
- <h4>Card Title</h4>
- <p>Inner card content text</p>
- </div>
- </div>
- </div>
-
-That's all that is needed - for now. We will be returning to this code shortly to add some extra classes to make our lives easier.
-
-## The CSS
-
-First we set the main housing container to use `flex` so we save ourselves the headache of aligning all the cards in a nice row:
-
- .card-tiles-container {
- display: flex;
- font-size: 14px;
- margin: 20px 0;
- }
-
-Next we create the default styling for our tile cards and set the `transform` property to scale the card on `:hover`:
-
- /* Default card tile styles */
- .card-tile {
- border: 1px solid;
- border-radius: 10px;
- cursor: pointer;
- height: 150px;
- margin: 0 10px;
- overflow: hidden;
- position: relative;
- width: 33.33%;
- }
- .card-tile:hover {
- transform: scale(1.1);
- }
-
-### Where are my cards?!
-
-Don't panic if you can't *visually* see any card elements in your demo yet - that's to be expected. We will be styling these card elements momentarily.
-
-Our next step is to hide the default inner `text-content` and only show it on hover. We achieve this by setting it's position to `absolute`, placing it's opacity at 0 and pushing it's z-index back to -1.
-
-When the user hovers over a main card tile, we change the `text-content` values of both the opacity and z-index to 1.
-
- /* Card tile text content */
- .card-tile .text-content {
- background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 100%);
- bottom: 10px;
- border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
- border-radius: 5px;
- box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.8),
- 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
- height: 65px;
- left: 10px;
- opacity: 0;
- padding: 10px;
- position: absolute;
- width: calc(100% - 20px);
- z-index: -1;
- }
- .card-tile:hover .text-content {
- opacity: 1;
- z-index: 1;
- }
-
-Finally we add some minor styling for the inner header and paragraph tags:
-
- .card-tile .text-content h4,
- .card-tile .text-content p {
- color: #fff;
- margin: 0;
- text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
- }
-
-### Don't forget mobile
-
-We want out UI to stack the cards if users are viewing them on smaller devices:
-
- @media(max-width: 600px) {
- .card-tiles-container {
- flex-direction: column;
- }
- .card-tile {
- margin: 0 0 10px 0;
- width: 100%;
- }
- }
-
-## Customizing each card
-
-Remember how I mentioned that we would be adding more classes to the original HTML? Now is the time. We will be including a simple class on each card tile to provide it's own custom coloring:
-
- <div class="card-tiles-container">
- <!-- `Blue` class -->
- <div class="card-tile blue">
- <div class="text-content">
- <h4>Card Title</h4>
- <p>Inner card content text</p>
- </div>
- </div>
- <!-- `Orange` class -->
- <div class="card-tile orange">
- <div class="text-content">
- <h4>Card Title</h4>
- <p>Inner card content text</p>
- </div>
- </div>
- <!-- `Green` class -->
- <div class="card-tile green">
- <div class="text-content">
- <h4>Card Title</h4>
- <p>Inner card content text</p>
- </div>
- </div>
- </div>
-
-And these color classes correlate to some new CSS styling:
-
- /* Blue Card */
- .card-tile.blue {
- background-color: #0093E9;
- background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, #0093E9 0%, #80D0C7 100%);
- border-color: #0093E9;
- box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(128,208,199,0.7),
- inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
- }
- .card-tile.blue:hover {
- box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(128,208,199,0.4),
- inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
- }
-
- /* Orange Card */
- .card-tile.orange {
- background-color: #FAD961;
- background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #FAD961 0%, #F76B1C 100%);
- border-color: #F76B1C;
- box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(247,107,28,0.7),
- inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
- }
- .card-tile.orange:hover {
- box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(247,107,28,0.4),
- inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
- }
-
- /* Green Card */
- .card-tile.green {
- background-color: #096e40;
- background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, #096e40 0%, #2AF598 100%);
- border-color: #096e40;
- box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(9,110,64,0.7),
- inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
- }
- .card-tile.green:hover {
- box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(9,110,64,0.4),
- inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
- }
-
-### Adding transitions
-
-We can now see the actual cards visually and have the ability to interact with them, but there is a problem - they don't animate.
-
-Lucky we can target all elements we wish to animate with the `transition` property, like so:
-
- /* Shared transitions */
- .card-tile,
- .card-tile .text-content {
- transition: .3s ease all;
- }
-
-Done and done.
-
-## The final code
-
-To make things easier for reference, I have included all the `html` and `css` below. Please feel free to use these cards anywhere you like and change them as you see fit!
