CardTextIconCard Component

A card component featuring an icon, heading, and description. Built from Section Cards - Icon and Section Cards - Text Grid Figma designs.

Overview

CardTextIconCard displays an icon at the top, followed by a heading and description. The description accepts ReactNode, so it can include hyperlinks and other rich content. No buttons; links are inline within the description.

Features

• Icon + Text Layout: Icon container, heading, and description in a vertical stack (optional)
• Rich Description: description accepts ReactNode for inline links and formatted content
• Aspect Ratio Foundation: Optional aspectRatio prop for future responsive sizing
• Light/Dark Mode: Full theming support
• Responsive Design: Adaptive icon size and spacing across breakpoints

Usage

Basic Usage

<CardTextIconCard
  icon="/icons/docs.svg"
  iconAlt="Documentation"
  heading="Documentation"
  description="Access everything you need to get started with the XRPL."
/>

With Inline Link in Description

<CardTextIconCard
  icon="/icons/docs.svg"
  heading="Documentation"
  description={
    <>
      Learn more in our{' '}
      <a href="/docs">documentation</a>.
    </>
  }
/>

Inline <a> tags in the description share the card’s description styles in CardTextIconCard.scss. In light mode, global html.light link rules can compete with those styles; use BdsLink with the design-system bds-link class if you need consistent BDS link behavior, or see CardTextIconCard.scss for .bds-card-text-icon-card__description link styling.

With Aspect Ratio

<CardTextIconCard
  icon="/icons/docs.svg"
  heading="Documentation"
  description="Access everything you need."
  aspectRatio={4 / 3}
/>

Props

CardTextIconCardProps

Prop	Type	Default	Description
icon	string	-	Icon image URL
iconAlt	string	''	Alt text for the icon image
heading	string	Required	Card heading
headingAs	'h1'–'h6'	'h3'	Semantic heading element, so cards enter the document outline. Use a level that fits the page hierarchy (typically one below the section heading).
description	React.ReactNode	Required	Card description; accepts rich content (e.g., text with inline links)
aspectRatio	number	-	Optional ratio for future use; applied via CSS variable
gridColSpan	ResponsiveValue<PageGridSpanValue>	-	When provided, the card renders as PageGrid.Col as="li" with this span, becoming the grid column itself. See Grid integration.
height	number	-	Explicit height attribute for the icon image
width	number	-	Explicit width attribute for the icon image
className	string	-	Additional CSS classes

Grid integration

The card has two rendering modes:

• Standalone (default) — renders a plain <div class="bds-card-text-icon-card">. Use this when you're placing the card inside your own layout.
• Grid column — when gridColSpan is provided, the card renders as PageGrid.Col as="li" with the modifier class bds-card-text-icon-card--grid-col. The card is the grid column, so it must sit inside a PageGrid.Row as="ul".

This is how CardsTextGrid and CardsIconGrid consume it — both pass gridColSpan={{ base: 4, md: 4, lg: 6 }}.

<PageGrid.Row as="ul">
  <CardTextIconCard
    heading="Documentation"
    description="Access everything you need."
    gridColSpan={{ base: 4, md: 4, lg: 6 }}
  />
</PageGrid.Row>

Heading levels

headingAs defaults to 'h3'. Because these cards are usually rendered under a section heading, set it explicitly when h3 would skip a level:

<CardTextIconCard
  heading="Documentation"
  headingAs="h4"
  description="Access everything you need."
/>
