How to add close button to bootstrap card?

Question

I have a bootstrap card using the following code:

 <div class="card card-outline-danger text-center">
         <span class="pull-right clickable" data-effect="fadeOut"><i class="fa fa-times"></i></span>
          <div class="card-block">
           <blockquote class="card-blockquote">
               <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
             <footer>Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
          </blockquote>
           </div>
        </div>

I am using the following code to get my close button working:

<span class="pull-right clickable" data-effect="fadeOut"><i class="fa fa-times"></i></span>

The close button is not working and I am new to bootstrap. Therefore, I need some help.

This isn't a standard feature of bootstrap, so you need to bind a JS click event to the icon, and trigger it to close the parent .card. I also added cursor: pointer to the icon so that it looks like something you can click on.

$('.close-icon').on('click',function() {
  $(this).closest('.card').fadeOut();
})

.close-icon {
  cursor: pointer;
}
