igx-card is a sheet of material that serves as an entry point to more detailed information. The cards in Ignite UI for Angular can be composed using the igx-card-media, igx-card-header, igx-card-content, and igx-card-actions components and directives. Those card elements ensure aesthetically pleasing design that conforms to the Material Design guidelines.

Supporting directives and components: igx-card-media is a container for images, videos, or any other type of media; It ensures the content placed inside is sized correctly. igx-card-header is the place to put your igxCardHeaderTitle, igxCardHeaderSubtitle, and igxCardHeaderThumbnail; It will also detect igx-avatar components and place them in the thumbnail area for you. igx-card-content is used to wrap any layout you want to appear in the content area of the igx-card; igx-card-actions will organize all igxButton tagged elements placed in it automatically.
