How to make Bootstrap 4 cards the same height in card-columns?
I am using Bootstrap 4 alpha 2 and taking advantage on cards. Specifically, I am working with this example taken from the official docs. How can I make all cards to be the same height?
All I can think by now is setting the following CSS rule:
.card {
min-height: 200px;
}
But that is just a hard coded solution that won't work in a general case. The code in my view is the same as the one in the docs i.e:
<div class="card-columns">
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" data-src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title that wraps to a new line</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a longer card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card card-block">
<blockquote class="card-blockquote">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
<footer>
<small class="text-muted">
Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
</small>
</footer>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" data-src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card card-block card-inverse card-primary text-xs-center">
<blockquote class="card-blockquote">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat.</p>
<footer>
<small>
Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
</small>
</footer>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="card card-block text-xs-center">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img" data-src="..." alt="Card image">
</div>
<div class="card card-block text-xs-right">
<blockquote class="card-blockquote">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
<footer>
<small class="text-muted">
Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
</small>
</footer>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="card card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
You can either put the classes on the "row" or the "column"? Won't be visible on the cards (border) if you use it on the row. https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/utilities/flex/#align-items
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4 d-flex align-items-stretch">
<!--CARD HERE-->
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 d-flex align-items-stretch">
<!--CARD HERE-->
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 d-flex align-items-stretch">
<!--CARD HERE-->
</div>
</div>
</div>

I'm using Bootstrap 4 (Beta 2). Meanwhile the situations seems to have changed. I had the same problem and found an easy solution. This is my code:
<div class="container-fluid content-row">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-6">
<div class="card h-100">
… content card …
</div>
</div>
… all the other cards …
</div>
</div>
With "col-sm-12 col-lg-6" I've made the cards responsive. With "card h-100" I've set all cards to the height of their parent column. On my system this works, but I'm not a pro. So, hopefully I helped someone.
Bootstrap 4 has all you need : USE THE .d-flex and .flex-fill class. Don't use the card-decks as they are not responsive.
I used col-sm, you can use the .col class you want, or use col-lg-x the x means number of width column e.g 4 or 3 for best view if the post have many then 3 or 4 per column

Enjoy the magic of flexboxes and leave the useless card-decks.
