What is the correct syntax to use <lightning:card> in Salesforce?

Posted by krati vishnoi on February 3, 2020 at 6:48 AM
This is my code inside <aura:component>
```
<lightning:card footer="Card Footer" title="Hello">
<aura:attribute name="searchAccountDetails" type="Account"
                   default="{'sobjectType': 'Account',
                            'Name': ''}"/>
</lightning:card>
```
when I try to save this without using <lightning:card> there are no errors, but with <lightning:card>, it is throwing an error:

ERROR: Invalid attribute “name”: Source.

Could some explain why this error is showing?

Hi Krati,

If you want to give an attribute name then you have to use aura component. This facility is not provided in Lightning Card, hence throwing an error.
```
<aura:component><lightning:card footer="Card Footer" title="Hello"><aura:set attribute="actions"><lightning:button label="New"/></aura:set><p class="slds-p-horizontal_small">Card Body (custom component)</p></lightning:card></aura:component>
```
This syntax shows what can we do with the lightning card.

Hope this helps!
