Angular Display 2 Cards Side By Side

Question

I have an Angular 5 website which is using routing.

In my code branch i have a folder which contains section with various data in them.

What i'm after doing is then having a main page display which ever sections i require which i have done but the issue is, is that because i have 2 component.html files nested in one it displays my info section on individual lines.

I have tried:

• Wrapping them in DIV on the main page
• Float: left/right on the components and mat-card
• Setting widths

Personal details component html

  <mat-card>
    <mat-card-title class="firstCard">Personal details</mat-card-title>

          <input matInput id="invName" placeholder="Full name" #name value="Mr Test Test" readonly>
        </mat-form-field>
        <mat-form-field>
          <input matInput id="invRef" placeholder="Investor reference" #ref value="A11111" readonly>

You can use mat-grid or flex layout and for making it responsive use observableMedia
Example with mat-grid:

<mat-grid-list cols="2">
  <mat-grid-tile>
    <app-personaldetails></app-personaldetails>
  </mat-grid-tile>
  <mat-grid-tile>
    <app-contactdetails></app-contactdetails>
  </mat-grid-tile>
</mat-grid-list>
