SSR

Link to This Section

Learn more about Server-Side Rendering (SSR).

If you use the header, media, or footer slots, set the matching with-header, with-media, or with-footer attribute — otherwise only the card's body will render during SSR. This works around the lack of a :has-slotted CSS pseudo-class, which would normally let us style borders based on slotted content.
