How to add close button to bootstrap card

Let’s build a dismissible card without any custom JavaScript and only with Bootstrap CSS classes.

the combination of card-header, the Bootstrap 4 Close Icon and ne gative margins (here .mt-n5) on the card-body. The close icon gets nicely positioned within the card-header and the negative margins pull the card content closer into the header area.

<div class="container">
  <div id="closeablecard" class="card card-hover-shadow mt-4">
    <div class="card-header bg-transparent border-bottom-0">
      <button data-dismiss="alert" data-target="#closeablecard" type="button" class="close" aria-label="Close">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
      </button>
    </div>
    <div class="card-body mt-n5">
      <h5 class="card-title">Your Title</h5>
      <p class="card-text">
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptatem recusandae voluptate porro suscipit numquam distinctio ut. Qui vitae, ut non inventore necessitatibus quae doloribus rerum, quaerat commodi, nemo perferendis ab.
      </p>
      <a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
      <a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

To actually close the card we can make use of the BS4 Data-API and put the the following data attributes in the button tag: data-dismiss="alert" data-target="#closeablecard". data-target is the ID of our card and data-dismiss=alert triggers the actual close event in Bootstrap.

For BS5, make changes to data-* attributes. see below;

<button data-bs-dismiss="alert" data-bs-target="#closeablecard" type="button" class="close float-end" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
</button>

See a Demo on JSFiddle…
