Getting Started with React Card Component

Smart UI React targets React 18+ and current Node LTS for tooling; use TypeScript templates when you want typed props and events.

Demo source (Smart UI repo): react/source/card/overview/App.jsx

1 Create a Vite + React + TypeScript app

npm create vite@latest my-smart-app -- --template react-ts

```
cd my-smart-app
```
then
```
npm install
```

2 Install Smart UI for React

npm install smart-webcomponents-react

3 Import styles and render the component

Open src/App.tsx (or App.jsx if you chose JavaScript). The snippet below matches Smart UI React demos for this widget:

import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import './App.css';
import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { Card } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/card';

const App = () => {

    useEffect(() => {
        // ComponentDidMount equivalent
    }, []);

    return (
        <div>
            <Card className="basic-card">
                <div className="card-content">
                    <span className="card-title">Card Title</span>
                    <p>
                        I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information.
                        I am convenient because I require little markup to use effectively.
                    </p>
                </div>
                <div className="card-action">
                    <a href="#">This is a link</a>
                    <a href="#">This is a link</a>
                </div>
            </Card>
        </div>
    );
};

export default App;

4 Run the dev server

npm run dev

Open the URL Vite prints (often http://localhost:5173/).

Alternative: Next.js

Create an app with npx create-next-app@latest (Pages Router or App Router). Install the same package (npm install smart-webcomponents-react), then reuse the imports and default export from step 3 in pages/_app.tsx, the App Router root app/layout.tsx, or your top-level layout component so styles and the widget tree load once.

TypeScript Support

Types ship with smart-webcomponents-react. Import the component and prop types:

import type { Card, CardProps } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/card';

The generated wrappers expose on* callbacks (for example onChange) whose arguments are standard DOM Event values unless the widget typings narrow them further.

Live demos

Supported stacks: Smart UI targets Angular 17+, React 18+, Vue 3+, Node 18 LTS, and evergreen browsers; pin exact package versions to your org policy.
