Images

Cards accept an image slot. The image is displayed atop the card and stretches to fit.

A kitten walks towards camera on top of pallet. This is a kitten, but not just any kitten. This kitten likes walking along pallets.

Horizontal Card

Cards can use horizontal parameter to place the image on the left side.

A kitten walks towards camera on top of pallet. This is a kitten, but not just any kitten. This kitten likes walking along pallets. 
<sl-card horizontal>
  <img
    slot="image"

    alt="A kitten walks towards camera on top of pallet."
  />
  This is a kitten, but not just any kitten. This kitten likes walking along pallets.

Selectable Card

Cards accept an selectable and selected property. The card then can be selected and used to build complex ‘visual checkboxes’. The selectable enables the selection/checked logic and selected is the reflective state property.

A kitten walks towards camera on top of pallet. (de-)select me‼!

isCardSelected:

A kitten walks towards camera on top of pallet. (de-)select me‼! with custom selection style
