Card class

A Material Design card: a panel with slightly rounded corners and an elevation shadow.

A card is a sheet of Material used to represent some related information, for example an album, a geographical location, a meal, contact details, etc.

This is what it looks like when run:

A card with a slight shadow, consisting of two rows, one with an icon and some text describing a musical, and the other with buttons for buying tickets or listening to the show.

This sample shows creation of a Card widget that shows album information and two actions.

flutter create --sample=material.Card.1 mysample

Sometimes the primary action area of a card is the card itself. Cards can be one large touch target that shows a detail screen when tapped.

This sample shows creation of a Card widget that can be tapped. When tapped this Card's InkWell displays an "ink splash" that fills the entire card.

For Material Design 2 (when ThemeData.useMaterial3 is false), there is a single card type: the elevated card. In that mode the named constructors (Card.filled, Card.outlined) behave the same as the default Card.

For Material Design 3 (when ThemeData.useMaterial3 is true), three visual variants are available: the default Card (elevated), Card.filled, and Card.outlined. All variants share the same theme class, CardThemeData, so theme properties (for example CardThemeData.shape) apply to every card variant within the theme's scope.

This sample shows creation of Card widgets for elevated, filled and outlined types, as described in: https://m3.material.io/components/cards/overview
