My plan:

Current Website:

I want to set the buttons rop right in the header. How can i do it? I exlude the category code because there is no problem. In the typescript code is only a for loop to add more cards and a dummy method for click on a card.

.healthy-search {
    width: 100%
}

.healthy-card {
    margin-right: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}

<div class="flex-container" fxLayout="row" fxLayout.xs="column" fxLayoutAlign="center center" fxLayoutAlign.xs="start">
  <div class="flex-item" fxFlex="90%" fxFlex.xs="90%">
    <mat-form-field class="healthy-search">
      <textarea matInput placeholder="Suche"></textarea>
    </mat-form-field>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="flex-container" fxLayout="row" fxLayout.xs="column" fxLayoutAlign="center center" fxLayoutAlign.xs="start">
  <div class="flex-item" fxFlex="85%" fxFlex.xs="85%">
    <mat-expansion-panel>
    
     <!-- Here is the Category -->
     

     <!--Elements of Category -->

      <div class="flex-container" fxLayoutWrap fxLayout="row" fxLayout.xs="column" fxLayoutAlign="center center" fxLayoutAlign.xs="start">
        <div class="flex-item healthy-card" fxFlex="400px" *ngFor="let number of numbers" (click)="cardClick()">
          <mat-card class="example-card">
            <mat-card-header>
              <mat-card-title>Title {{number}}</mat-card-title>
              <button mat-icon-button fxLayoutAlign="right">
                <mat-icon aria-label="Example icon-button with a heart icon">Edit</mat-icon>
              </button>
              <button mat-icon-button fxLayoutAlign="right">
                <mat-icon aria-label="Example icon-button with a heart icon">Delete</mat-icon>
              </button>
            </mat-card-header>
            <img mat-card-image src="https://material.angular.io/assets/img/examples/shiba2.jpg" alt="Photo of a Shiba Inu">
            <mat-card-content>
              <p>
                The Shiba Inu is the smallest of the six original and distinct spitz breeds of dog from Japan. A small, agile dog that copes
                very well with mountainous terrain, the Shiba Inu was originally bred for hunting.

            </mat-card-content>
          </mat-card>
        </div>

Answer 1

This post is quite old but maybe someone else stumble upon this as well. (As of writing this answer the current version is Angular Material 6)

I recommend using the <mat-card-title-group> attribute. From the docs (https://material.angular.io/components/card/overview):

<mat-card-title-group> can be used to combine a title, subtitle, and image into a single section.

This way the title and description will be bundled into one single div and the fxFlex container actually works. This also allows to add buttons / icons to the left.

An example could look like this:

<mat-card-header>
    <mat-icon>help</mat-icon>
    <mat-card-title-group>
        <mat-card-title>
            Title
        </mat-card-title>
        <mat-card-subtitle>
            Subtitle
        </mat-card-subtitle>
    </mat-card-title-group>
    <div fxFlex></div>
    <button mat-button>Click me!</button>
</mat-card-header>
