CSS make card the same height running React and Bootstrap - css

Question

I am using the Bootstrap 4 in React. Currently, the card for Item 1 is shorter than Item 2, but I want both the cards to have the same height.
I am expected to have more cards added to the bottom in the future.
My CSS file:
.CountryDetail {
width: 70%;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: center;
margin-left: 15%;
margin-right: 15%;
}
.cards {
background: #fcfcfc;
margin: 20px 40px;
transition: 0.4s all;
width: 800px;
padding: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.icon-size {
font-size: 50px;
}
.shadow-1 {
position: relative;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
z-index: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
box-shadow: 0 2px 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13);
}
.shadow-1:hover {
z-index: 1;
box-shadow: 0 8px 50px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
transform: scale(1.05);
transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
.vertical-center {
justify-content: center;
}
.show-hover {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateX(-20px);
transition: 1s all;
}
.cards:hover .show-hover {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateX(0px);
color: blue;
}
.vertical-align {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
My JavaScript file:
<div className="CountryDetail">
<div className="cards shadow-1 container">
<div className="row vertical-align">
<div className="col-2 text-center">
<FontAwesomeIcon className="icon-hover icon-size" icon={faPlane} color="#A9A9A9" />
</div>
<div className="col-8">
<h3>Item 1</h3>
</div>
<div className="col-2 text-center">
<FontAwesomeIcon className="show-hover icon-size" icon={faArrowRight} color="#A9A9A9" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div className="cards shadow-1 container">
<div className="row vertical-align">
<div className="col-2 text-center">
<FontAwesomeIcon className="icon-hover icon-size" icon={faHeart} color="#A9A9A9" />
</div>
<div className="col-8">
<h3>Item 2</h3>
<span>Under Construction...</span>
<h2>Testing</h2>
</div>
<div className="col-2 text-center">
<FontAwesomeIcon className="show-hover icon-size" icon={faArrowRight} color="#A9A9A9" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have tried to add line-height or height in CSS for cards class, but it would mess up the height of the contents inside the card.
If I modify my "cards" class like this by adding min-height:
.cards {
min-height: 200px;
background: #fcfcfc;
margin: 20px 40px;
transition: 0.4s all;
width: 800px;
padding: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
I would get this:

Answer 1

Based on your need of the same height and centered content, update your CSS to:
.cards {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
min-height: 200px;
background: #fcfcfc;
margin: 20px 40px;
transition: 0.4s all;
width: 800px;
padding: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
If you set the card to be display flex, since you have only one direct child (row), you can center that vertically.
