Notation

<p>Display utility classes that apply to all breakpoints, from <code>xs </code>to <code>xxl </code>, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied from <code>min-width: 0;</code>and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.</p>
<p class="mt-4">As such, the classes are named using the format:</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>.block</code> for <code>xs </code></li>
  <li><code>.{breakpoint}:block</code> for <code> sm</code>,<code> md</code>,<code> lg</code>,<code> xl</code>, and<code> xxl</code>,</li>
</ul>
<p class="mt-4">Where value is one of:</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>none</code></li>
  <li><code>inline</code></li>
  <li><code>inline-block</code></li>
  <li><code>block</code></li>
  <li><code>table</code></li>
  <li><code>table-cell</code></li>
  <li><code>table-row</code></li>
  <li><code>flex</code></li>
  <li><code>inline-flex</code></li>
  <li><code>grid</code></li>
  <li><code>inline-grid</code></li>
  <li><code>contents </code><span>etc.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The media queries affect screen widths with the given breakpoint or larger. For example, <code>div(class="lg:hidden") </code>sets <code>display: none;</code>on both <code>lg </code>and <code>xl </code>screens.</p>

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:

  • .block for xs
  • .{breakpoint}:block for sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl,

Where value is one of:

  • none
  • inline
  • inline-block
  • block
  • table
  • table-cell
  • table-row
  • flex
  • inline-flex
  • grid
  • inline-grid
  • contents etc.

The media queries affect screen widths with the given breakpoint or larger. For example, div(class="lg:hidden") sets display: none;on both lg and xl screens.

Example

<div class="inline bg-primary p-2 text-white">d-inline</div>
<div class="block bg-primary p-2 text-white mt-4">d-block</div>
d-inline
d-block

Hiding Elements

<p>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.</p>
<p>To hide elements simply use the<code>.hidden </code>class or one of the<code>.{sm,md,lg,xl,xxl}:hidden </code>classes for any responsive screen variation.</p>
<table class="table table-bordered">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th class="ps-2">Screen Size</th>
      <th>Class</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Hidden on all</td>
      <td><code>.hidden</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Hidden only on xs</td>
      <td><code>.hidden .sm:block</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Hidden only on sm</td>
      <td><code>sm:hidden md:block </code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Hidden only on md</td>
      <td><code>md:hidden lg:block </code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Hidden only on lg</td>
      <td><code>lg:hidden xl:block </code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Hidden only on xl</td>
      <td><code>xl:hidden</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Visible on all</td>
      <td><code>.block</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Visible only on xs</td>
      <td><code>.block .sm:none</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Visible only on sm</td>
      <td><code>.hidden .sm:block .md:none</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Visible only on md</td>
      <td><code>.hidden .md:block .lg:none</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Visible only on lg</td>
      <td><code>.hidden .lg:block .xl:none</code></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="ps-2">Visible only on xl</td>
      <td><code>.hidden .xl:block</code></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>

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.hidden class or one of the.{sm,md,lg,xl,xxl}:hidden classes for any responsive screen variation.

Screen Size Class
Hidden on all .hidden
Hidden only on xs .hidden .sm:block
Hidden only on sm sm:hidden md:block
Hidden only on md md:hidden lg:block
Hidden only on lg lg:hidden xl:block
Hidden only on xl xl:hidden
Visible on all .block
Visible only on xs .block .sm:none
Visible only on sm .hidden .sm:block .md:none
Visible only on md .hidden .md:block .lg:none
Visible only on lg .hidden .lg:block .xl:none
Visible only on xl .hidden .xl:block
