CSS
To override styling on all Cards, you can set the Amplify CSS variables or use the built-in .amplify-card
class.
Thick Bordered Card
/* styles.css */
:root {
--amplify-components-card-border-color: red;
--amplify-components-card-border-width: 3px;
}
/* OR */
.amplify-card {
border: 3px solid red;
}
To replace all the Card styling, unset it:
.amplify-card {
all: unset;
/* Add your styling here*/
}
Local styling
To override styling on a specific Card, you can use a class selector or style props.
Using a class selector:
Custom card!
import { Card, Text } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react';
const css = `.custom-card-class {
border: 3px solid red;
}`;
export const CardClassNameExample = () => {
return (
<>
<style>{css}</style>
<Card className="custom-card-class">
<Text>Custom card!</Text>
</Card>
</>
);
};
Using style props:
Special card!
import { Card, Text, useTheme } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react';
export const CardStylePropsExample = () => {
const { tokens } = useTheme();
return (
<Card backgroundColor={tokens.colors.primary[20]}>
<Text>Special card!</Text>
</Card>
);
};
Default theme
import { DesignTokenProperties, OutputVariantKey } from '../types/designToken';
type CardVariationStyleKey =
| 'backgroundColor'
| 'borderRadius'
| 'borderWidth'
| 'borderStyle'
| 'borderColor'
| 'boxShadow';
type CardVariationTokens<OutputType> = DesignTokenProperties<
CardVariationStyleKey,
OutputType
>;
export type CardTokens<OutputType extends OutputVariantKey> =
CardVariationTokens<OutputType> &
DesignTokenProperties<'padding', OutputType> & {
elevated?: CardVariationTokens<OutputType>;
outlined?: CardVariationTokens<OutputType>;
};
export const card: Required<CardTokens<'default'>> = {
backgroundColor: { value: '{colors.background.primary.value}' },
borderRadius: { value: '{radii.xs.value}' },
borderWidth: { value: '0' },
borderStyle: { value: 'solid' },
borderColor: { value: 'transparent' },
boxShadow: { value: 'none' },
padding: { value: '{space.medium.value}' },
outlined: {
backgroundColor: { value: '{components.card.backgroundColor.value}' },
borderRadius: { value: '{radii.xs.value}' },
borderWidth: { value: '{borderWidths.small.value}' },
borderStyle: { value: 'solid' },
borderColor: { value: '{colors.border.primary.value}' },
boxShadow: { value: '{components.card.boxShadow.value}' },
},
elevated: {
backgroundColor: { value: '{components.card.backgroundColor.value}' },
borderRadius: { value: '{radii.xs.value}' },
borderWidth: { value: '0' },
borderStyle: { value: 'solid' },
borderColor: { value: 'transparent' },
boxShadow: { value: '{shadows.medium.value}' },
},
};
