Object Smart Cards is a flexible Liferay fragment designed to display dynamic content from REST APIs as responsive card layouts. It is ideal for listing Liferay Objects, headless content, or any external API data in a clean and modern card interface. The fragment fetches data from a configurable API endpoint and renders items as customizable cards with support for search, pagination, caching, and field mapping.
