Proposal: Cards

Note

This document is archived as it refers to a design process.

The Card widget is available since 1.4 release. #1263

Motivation

The existing "group" container is lacking in certain features and requires some improvements. Rather than iterating on that concept, this proposal suggests replacing it with a new "card" widget that will implement a superset of the functionality the "group" offers.

A card is a type of container widget which:

  • Groups one or more other widgets together as a discrete visual unit
  • Contains information or controls which relate to one particular purpose, idea, or object

A card might be a singleton, or several cards of the same type might exist to show information about different instances of the same data type.
