streamlit-card

What it is and what it does

streamlit-card is a Streamlit component that adds card-based UI elements to your app. Each card displays a title, descriptive text, an optional image, and can be configured to navigate to a URL or trigger a callback when clicked. You import the card function and pass parameters for content and styling; the component returns a boolean indicating whether the card was clicked, letting you respond to user interaction.

The package is designed for developers building Streamlit dashboards or data apps who want a polished, reusable card layout without writing custom HTML or CSS. It supports both remote and base64-encoded local images, customizable dimensions and styling via a styles dictionary, and multiple text descriptions. With only streamlit as a dependency and a permissive MIT license, it adds minimal overhead to your project.

Use it for:

• Build a gallery or portfolio view in a Streamlit dashboard where each card links to a resource or triggers an action.
• Display product or service offerings in a Streamlit app with clickable cards that navigate or filter content.
• Create a dashboard home screen with card-based navigation to different sections or reports.
• Present data summaries or metrics in card format with custom styling to match your app's branding.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

A Streamlit component that renders interactive card UI elements with titles, text, images, and optional click handlers or URLs.

Yes, if you are actively using Streamlit and need card UI components. The low install friction, permissive license, and straightforward API make it practical. However, maintenance is dormant since 2024-05-10, so if you encounter bugs or need features for very recent Streamlit versions, you may need to fork or patch it yourself.

Install
