Card

Common

Component in Material 3 Compose

Cards contain contain content and actions that relate information about a subject. Filled cards provide subtle separation from the background. This has less emphasis than elevated or outlined cards.

This Card does not handle input events - see the other Card overloads if you want a clickable or selectable Card.
