Display

Quick reference

How it works

Change the value of the display property with our responsive display utility classes. We purposely support only a subset of all possible values for display. Classes can be combined for various effects as you need.

Basic usage

Block & Inline

Use d-inline, d-inline-block, and d-block to control the flow of text and elements.

<div>
  When controlling the flow of text, using the CSS property
  <span class="d-inline">display: inline</span>
  will cause the text inside the element to wrap normally. While using the
  property <span class="d-inline-block">display: inline-block</span> will wrap
  the element to prevent the text inside from extending beyond its parent.
  Lastly, using the property <span class="d-block">display: block</span>
  will put the element on its own line and fill its parent.
</div>

Flex

Use d-flex to create a block-level flex container.

    <span>Technical advisor</span>

Inline Flex

Use d-inline-flex to create an inline flex container that flows with text.

    />
    <span>Kramer</span>
  </span>
  keeps telling me there is no way to make it work, that ...

Grid

Use grid to create a grid container.

<div class="grid gap-4">
  <div class="g-col-4">01</div>
  <div class="g-col-4">02</div>
  <div class="g-col-4">03</div>
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Table

Use the d-table, d-table-row, d-table-cell utilities to create elements that behave like their respective table elements.

<div class="d-table ...">
  <div class="d-table-row ...">
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">Song</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell">Artist</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell">Year</div>
  </div>
  <div class="d-table-row ...">
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">
      The Sliding Mr. Bones (Next Stop, Pottersville)
    </div>
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">Malcolm Lockyer</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">1961</div>
  </div>
  <div class="d-table-row ...">
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">Witchy Woman</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">The Eagles</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">1972</div>
  </div>
  <div class="d-table-row ...">
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">Shining Star</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">Earth, Wind, and Fire</div>
    <div class="d-table-cell ...">1975</div>
  </div>
</div>

Hiding

Use d-none to set an element to display: none and remove it from the page layout.

<div class="d-flex ...">
  <div class="d-none ...">01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Hiding elements

For faster mobile-friendly development, use responsive display classes for showing and hiding elements by device. Avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site, instead hide elements responsively for each screen size.

To hide elements simply use the .d-none class or one of the .d-{sm,md,lg,xl,xxl}-none classes for any responsive screen variation.

To show an element only on a given interval of screen sizes you can combine one .d-*-none class with a .d-*-* class, for example .d-none .d-md-block .d-xl-none .d-xxl-none will hide the element for all screen sizes except on medium and large devices.

Dynamically hiding

<div class="p-5 text-bg-primary d-lg-none">hide on lg and wider screens</div>
<div class="p-5 text-bg-purple d-none d-lg-block">hide on screens smaller than lg</div>

Breakpoints

The display utility classes that apply to all breakpoints, from xs to xxl, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied from min-width: 0; and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.

As such, the classes are named using the format:

• .d-{value} for xs
• .d-{breakpoint}-{value} for sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl.

Where value is one of:

• none
• inline
• inline-block
• block
• grid
• table
• table-cell
• table-row
• flex
• inline-flex

The display values can be altered by changing the display values defined in $utilities and recompiling the SCSS.

• .d-sm-none

• .d-sm-inline

• .d-sm-inline-block

• .d-sm-block

• .d-sm-grid

• .d-sm-table

• .d-sm-table-cell

• .d-sm-table-row

• .d-sm-flex

• .d-sm-inline-flex

• .d-md-none

• .d-md-inline

• .d-md-inline-block

• .d-md-block

• .d-md-grid

• .d-md-table

• .d-md-table-cell

• .d-md-table-row

• .d-md-flex

• .d-md-inline-flex

• .d-lg-none

• .d-lg-inline

• .d-lg-inline-block

• .d-lg-block

• .d-lg-grid

• .d-lg-table

• .d-lg-table-cell

• .d-lg-table-row

• .d-lg-flex

• .d-lg-inline-flex

• .d-xl-none

• .d-xl-inline

• .d-xl-inline-block

• .d-xl-block

• .d-xl-grid

• .d-xl-table

• .d-xl-table-cell

• .d-xl-table-row

• .d-xl-flex

• .d-xl-inline-flex

• .d-xxl-none

• .d-xxl-inline

• .d-xxl-inline-block

• .d-xxl-block

• .d-xxl-grid

• .d-xxl-table

• .d-xxl-table-cell

• .d-xxl-table-row

• .d-xxl-flex

• .d-xxl-inline-flex

The media queries affect screen widths with the given breakpoint or larger. For example, .d-lg-none sets display: none; on lg, xl, and xxl screens.

<div class="d-block d-md-inline-block text-bg-primary p-2">xs=block md=inline-block</div>
<div class="d-block d-md-inline-block text-bg-dark p-2">xs=block md=inline-block</div>

Display in print

Change the display value of elements when printing with our print display utility classes. Includes support for the same display values as our responsive .d-* utilities.

• .d-print-none
• .d-print-inline
• .d-print-inline-block
• .d-print-block
• .d-print-grid
• .d-print-table
• .d-print-table-row
• .d-print-table-cell
• .d-print-flex
• .d-print-inline-flex

The print and display classes can be combined.

<div class="d-print-none">Screen Only (Hide on print only)</div>
<div class="d-none d-print-block">Print Only (Hide on screen only)</div>
<div class="d-none d-lg-block d-print-block">Hide up to large on screen, but always show on print</div>
