Card Component

Introduction

The Card Component wraps content in a styled MUI Card surface. It supports an optional click handler (onClick) that makes the card interactive — clicking it triggers an action sequence (e.g., navigation, dialog, mutation). Without onClick, the card renders as a static, non-interactive surface.

disableContentWrapper	boolean	If true, children are rendered directly without CardContent

props.onClick

• Type: array (actions list)
• Description: When present, the card becomes an accessible interactive surface. Clicking it or pressing Enter/Space while it is focused executes the action sequence. It receives the card's name as sender and the parent's variables as context. Keyboard events from nested controls do not trigger the card action.
