Grid Options

Applicator is based on the Bootstrap Grid System. See how aspects of the Bootstrap grid system work across multiple devices with a handy table.

Equal-width

For example,here are two grid layouts that apply to every device and viewport,from xsto xl. Add any number of unit-less classes for each breakpoint you need and every column will be the same width.

.col
.col
.col

.col

Setting one column width

Auto-layout for flexbox grid columns also means you can set the width of one column and have the sibling columns automatically resize around it. You may use predefined grid classes(as shown below),grid mixins,or inline widths. Note that the other columns will resize no matter the width of the center column.

.col
.col-6
.col
.col
.col-5
.col

Variable width content

Use col-{breakpoint}-autoclasses to size columns based on the natural width of their content.

.col .col-lg-2
.col-md-auto
.col .col-lg-2
.col
.col-md-auto
.col .col-lg-2

Responsive classes

Bootstrap’s grid includes five tiers of predefined classes for building complex responsive layouts. Customize the size of your columns on extra small,small,medium,large,or extra large devices however you see fit.

All breakpoints

For grids that are the same from the smallest of devices to the largest,use the .coland .col-*classes. Specify a numbered class when you need a particularly sized column;otherwise,feel free to stick to .col.

.col
.col
.col
.col
.col-8
.col-4

Stacked to horizontal

Using a single set of .col-sm-*classes,you can create a basic grid system that starts out stacked on extra small devices before becoming horizontal on desktop(medium) devices.

.col-sm-8
.col-sm-4
.col-sm
.col-sm
.col-sm

Mix and match

Don’t want your columns to simply stack in some grid tiers? Use a combination of different classes for each tier as needed. See the example below for a better idea of how it all works.

Stack the columns on mobile by making one full-width and the other half-width

.col-12.col-md-8
.col-6.col-md-4

Columns start at 50% wide on mobile and bump up to 33.3% wide on desktop

.col-6.col-md-4
.col-6.col-md-4
.col-6.col-md-4

Columns are always 50% wide,on mobile and desktop

.col-6
.col-6

Vertical alignment

Use flexbox alignment utilities to vertically and horizontally align columns.

No gutters

The gutters between columns in our predefined grid classes can be removed with .no-gutters. This removes the negative margins from .rowand the horizontal paddingfrom all immediate children columns.

In practice,here’s how it looks. Note you can continue to use this with all other predefined grid classes(including column widths,responsive tiers,reorders,and more).

.col-12 .col-sm-6 .col-md-8
.col-6 .col-md-4

Column wrapping

If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row,each group of extra columns will,as one unit,wrap onto a new line.

.col-9
.col-4
Since 9+4 = 13 >12,this 4-column-wide div gets wrapped onto a new line as one contiguous unit.
.col-6
Subsequent columns continue along the new line.

Column breaks

Breaking columns to a new line in flexbox requires a small hack:add an element with width:100%wherever you want to wrap your columns to a new line. Normally this is accomplished with multiple .rows,but not every implementation method can account for this.

.col-6.col-sm-3
.col-6.col-sm-3
.col-6.col-sm-3
.col-6.col-sm-3

Reordering

Use .order-classes for controlling the visual orderof your content. These classes are responsive,so you can set the orderby breakpoint(e.g.,.order-1.order-md-2). Includes support for 1through 12across all five grid tiers.

First,but unordered
Second,but last .order-12
Third,but first .order-1

There’s also a responsive .order-firstclass that quickly changes the order of one element by applying order:-1. This class can also be intermixed with the numbered .order-*classes as needed.

First,but unordered
Second,but unordered
Third,but first .order-first

Offsetting columns

Margin classes

Move columns to the right using .offset-md-*classes. These classes increase the left margin of a column by *columns. For example,.offset-md-4moves .col-md-4over four columns.

.col-md-4
.col-md-4.ml-auto
.col-md-3.ml-md-auto
.col-md-3.ml-md-auto
.col-auto.mr-auto
.col-auto

Nesting

To nest your content with the default grid,add a new .rowand set of .col-sm-*columns within an existing .col-sm-*column. Nested rows should include a set of columns that add up to 12 or fewer(it is not required that you use all 12 available columns).

Level 1:.col-sm-9
Level 2:.col-8.col-sm-6
Level 2:.col-4.col-sm-6
