Display property

Quickly and responsively toggle the display value of components and more with our display utilities. Includes support for some of the more common values, as well as some extras for controlling display when printing.

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.

Notation#

Display utility classes that apply to all breakpoints, from xs to lg, 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 and lg.

Where value is one of:

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

The display values can be altered by changing the $displays variable and recompiling the SCSS.

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

Examples#

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

<span class="d-block p-2 bg-primary text-white">d-block</span>
<span class="d-block p-2 bg-warning text-white">d-block</span>

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}-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-lg-none will hide the element for all screen sizes except on medium and large devices.

<div class="d-md-none">hide on screens wider than md</div>
<div class="d-none d-md-block">hide on screens smaller than md</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-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>
