{{#seo:

|type = website |description = Module:CardLua/doc is a template page used on the Star Citizen Wiki. Templates are pages that are embedded (transcluded) into other pages to allow for the repetition of information. |site_name = Star Citizen Wiki |locale = en-gb }}

A reusable card primitive: a bordered, surface-coloured, rounded container with a shared header row (title + description, an optional trailing element) and an optional always-visible footer. Module:CollapsibleCard, renderLinkCard, and renderMediaCard are specializations built on it.

Required by Module:CollapsibleCard, Module:Mainpage/Event, Module:Mainpage/Event/Legacy, Module:Entity/Availability, and Module:Entity/Blueprints; not invoked from templates.

For module editors

API

• p.render(props): wraps content (and optional footer) in the card shell; returns + markup. { content, footer?, class? }.
• p.renderHeader(props) / p.renderHeaderContent(title, description, eyebrow): a static header row (optional eyebrow, title + description, optional trailing element on the right). A header with an eyebrow takes the navplate header style of Module:Entity/Navplates: the eyebrow above a larger title that is not painted as a link. renderHeaderContent is exposed separately so an interactive consumer (CollapsibleCard's <summary>) can place it inside its own header element alongside its own trailing control.
• p.renderLinkCard(props): a static card whose header's trailing slot is one or more Module:ButtonLua buttons. { title, description?, buttons, class? }.
• p.renderMediaBody(props) / p.renderMediaCard(props): a card that leads with a picture (image, imageAlt?, imageWidth? default 480) followed by a content slot, usually renderMediaBody(...)'s standard text block (title, link?, kicker?, body?, readout?, more?). layout is 'split' (default, art beside text) or 'banner' (art across the top). stretchLink = true makes the whole card clickable by stretching the title's own anchor over it (requires a link in content); it costs body text selectability.
• p.mediaCard(frame): the #invoke entry point wrapping renderMediaCard + renderMediaBody; not currently invoked by any template. Its after argument is deliberately untyped wikitext appended after the body (e.g. |after={{#invoke:Countdown|main|…}}), letting a template hand in a second column without this module learning what it is.

Gotchas

• renderMediaBody's body wikitext is prefixed with a literal newline: mw.html emits the wrapping <div> inline, so a leading * list would otherwise sit right after > and render as literal text instead of opening a list.
• more renders as aria-hidden styled text, never a second anchor: the title already links the page (or, on a stretched card, the whole surface does), so a second link would only be a duplicate stop for keyboard and screen-reader users.
• On a stretchLink card, styles.css only auto-lifts <a> elements specifically inside .t-card__body, .t-card__readout, or .t-card__footer (position: relative; z-index: 2); any other interactive element, or a link elsewhere (e.g. a consumer's own extra content column), needs its own lift or it becomes unclickable under the stretched anchor.

Styles

CSS lives in Module:CardLua/styles.css, loaded automatically by render. Class contract for consumers: t-card (root), t-card__header / __header-content / __title / __description / __trailing, t-card__content, t-card__footer, t-card__media-layout (--split / --banner), t-card__media, t-card__media-body, t-card__kicker, t-card__body (styles a wikitext * list to card scale), t-card__foot / __readout / __readout-label / __readout-value, t-card__more, and t-card--link (the stretch-link modifier).
