Utilities

Bootstrap includes dozens of utilities—classes with a single purpose to reduce the frequency of highly repetitive declarations.

Sizing and positioning

Fixed positioning

The .pos-f-t class can be used to easily position elements at the top of the viewport and make them as wide as the viewport. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed-position elements within your project. Here’s how the class is defined:

Copy
.pos-f-t {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: $zindex-navbar-fixed;
}

Width and height

Easily make an element as wide or as tall (relative to its parent) our width and height utilities. Includes support for 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.

Width 25%
Width 50%
Width 75%
Width 100%
Copy
<div class="w-25 p-3" style="background-color: #eee;">Width 25%</div>
<div class="w-50 p-3" style="background-color: #eee;">Width 50%</div>
<div class="w-75 p-3" style="background-color: #eee;">Width 75%</div>
<div class="w-100 p-3" style="background-color: #eee;">Width 100%</div>
Height 25%
Height 50%
Height 75%
Height 100%
Copy
<div style="height: 100px; background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.1);">
  <div class="h-25 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 25%</div>
  <div class="h-50 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 50%</div>
  <div class="h-75 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 75%</div>
  <div class="h-100 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 100%</div>
</div>

You can also use max-width: 100%; and max-height: 100%; utilities as needed.

Max-width = 100% [1000%x100]
Copy
<img class="mw-100" src="..." alt="Max-width 100%">
Max-height 100%
Copy
<div style="height: 100px; background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.1);">
  <div class="mh-100" style="width: 100px; height: 200px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.1);">Max-height 100%</div>
</div>
Max-width=100%
