I am attempting to add a card with vue and vuetify that will take up the space in my container using v-flex to create a horizontal card that acts the same way vertically. I have attempted to add a height style of 100%, using fill-height, child-flex, etc but I cannot get the size of the card to fill the container. What is the correct way to adjust the height?

ref: https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/cards

<div id="app">
  <v-app id="inspire">
    <v-toolbar color="green" dark fixed app>
      <v-toolbar-title>My Application</v-toolbar-title>
    </v-toolbar>
    <v-content >
      <v-container fluid fill-height >
        <v-layout
          justify-center
          align-center 
          <v-flex text-xs-center >
              <v-card class="elevation-20" >
              <v-toolbar dark color="primary">
                <v-toolbar-title>I want this to take up the whole space with slight padding</v-toolbar-title>
                <v-spacer></v-spacer>
              </v-toolbar>
              <v-card-text>
              </v-card-text>
            </v-card>
          </v-flex>
        </v-layout>
      </v-container>
    </v-content>
    <v-footer color="green" app inset>
      <span class="white--text">&copy; 2018</span>
    </v-footer>
  </v-app>

                This is a bit late comment but I had similar problem where I needed to add overflow:hidden to card and card-text

Vuetify says for height props: Manually define the height of the card
So,in v-card element add height as follow:
<v-card height="100%">
See it in action
                Accepting this as it will solve my problem. However, @Sphinx up above in the comments had exactly what I was looking for.

                @Renetik if you go here => vuetifyjs.com/en/components/cards#api and search for the height prop you will see that

                This is partially a good solution, but it won't solve the problem when a card has an action footer (like v-card-actions). Making the card 100% height will stretch the footer. Is there any way to set the v-card-text equal to the other v-card-text elements? Would love a solution like this.

                Btw, I'm using v-card-text style="height: 150px;" as a quick-fix for the problem I described above. I have to mention this is not fully solving the issue (and it is disgusting since I hate inline-styles)

gives an styling issue if you have v-card-actions (card footer).
To equalize the v-text-card component, you should create a custom (SCSS) class:
.flexcard {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
// Add the css below if your card has a toolbar, and if your toolbar's height increases according to the flex display.
.flexcard .v-toolbar {
  flex: 0;
Then, add the class to the v-card component, like this:
<v-card class="flexcard" height="100%">
  ... Your code here
</v-card>
I hope this helps if someone is facing the same issue.

In addition to the above: The codepen does not include any card images. So in case you are using v-img components in your v-card components like this:
<v-card 
  class="flexcard"
  height="100%">
  <v-img
    height="200px" 
    :src=".\sample\image.png">
  </v-img>
<v-card>
you probably want to fix their maximum heights ensuring same layout on your v-card components:
<v-card 
  class="flexcard"
  height="100%">
  <v-img
    height="200px"
    max-height="200px"
    :src=".\sample\image.png">
  </v-img>
<v-card>
I don't know if you could solve your problem... But for your case you can see a solution to the problem here: https://codepen.io/carlos-henreis/pen/djaQKb
