Bootstrap 4 card-deck with number of columns based on viewport

Updated 2018

If you want a responsive card-deck, use the visibility utils to force a wrap every X columns on different viewport width(breakpoints)...

Bootstrap 4 responsive card-deck (v 4.1)

Original answer for Bootstrap 4 alpha 2:

You can use the grid col-*-* to get the different widths (instead of card-deck) and then set equal height to the cols using flexbox.

.row > div[class*='col-'] {
  display: flex;
  flex:1 0 auto;
}

The problem is that w/o flexbox enabled the card-deck uses table-cell where it becomes very hard to control the width. As of Bootstrap 4 Alpha 6, flexbox is default so the additional CSS is not required for flexbox, and the h-100 class can be used to make the cards full height: http://www.codeply.com/go/gnOzxd4Spk

Here's a solution with Sass to configure the number of cards per line depending on breakpoints: https://codepen.io/migli/pen/OQVRMw

It works fine with Bootstrap 4 beta 3

// Bootstrap 4 breakpoints & gutter
$grid-breakpoints: (
    xs: 0,
    sm: 576px,
    md: 768px,
    lg: 992px,
    xl: 1200px
) !default;

$grid-gutter-width: 30px !default;

// number of cards per line for each breakpoint
$cards-per-line: (
    xs: 1,
    sm: 2,
    md: 3,
    lg: 4,
    xl: 5
);

@each $name, $breakpoint in $grid-breakpoints {
    @media (min-width: $breakpoint) {
        .card-deck .card {
            flex: 0 0 calc(#{100/map-get($cards-per-line, $name)}% - #{$grid-gutter-width});
        }
    }
}

EDIT (2019/10)

I worked on another solution which uses horizontal lists group + flex utilities instead of card-deck:

It's an easy solution to organize any kind of elements into responsive grid

<div class="container">
    <ul class="list-group list-group-horizontal align-items-stretch flex-wrap">
        <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
        <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
        <li class="list-group-item">Morbi leo risus</li>
        <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
        <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
        <!--= add as many items as you need  =-->
    </ul>
</div>

.list-group-item {
    width: 95%;
    margin: 1% !important;
}

@media (min-width: 576px) {
    .list-group-item {
        width: 47%;
        margin: 5px 1.5% !important;
    }
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .list-group-item {
        width: 31.333%;
        margin: 5px 1% !important;
    }
}

@media (min-width: 992px) {
    .list-group-item {
        width: 23%;
        margin: 5px 1% !important;
    }
}

@media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .list-group-item {
        width: 19%;
        margin: 5px .5% !important;
    }
}
