Bootstrap includes dozens of utilities—classes with a single purpose to reduce the frequency of highly repetitive declarations.
Quickly manage the layout, alignment, and sizing of grid columns, navigation, components, and more with a full suite of responsive flexbox utilities. For more complex implementations, custom CSS may be necessary.
Apply display utilities to create a flexbox container and transform direct children elements into flex items. Flex containers and items are able to be modified further with additional flex properties.
<div class="d-flex p-2">I'm a flexbox container!</div><div class="d-inline-flex p-2">I'm an inline flexbox container!</div>Responsive variations also exist for .d-flex and .d-inline-flex.
.d-flex.d-inline-flex.d-sm-flex.d-sm-inline-flex.d-md-flex.d-md-inline-flex.d-lg-flex.d-lg-inline-flex.d-xl-flex.d-xl-inline-flexSet the direction of flex items in a flex container with direction utilities. In most cases you can omit the horizontal class here as the browser default is row. However, you may encounter situations where you needed to explicitly set this value (like responsive layouts).
Use .flex-row to set a horizontal direction (the browser default), or .flex-row-reverse to start the horizontal direction from the opposite side.
<div class="d-flex flex-row">
<div class="p-2">Flex item 1</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 2</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 3</div>
</div>
<div class="d-flex flex-row-reverse">
<div class="p-2">Flex item 1</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 2</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 3</div>
</div>Use .flex-column to set a vertical direction, or .flex-column-reverse to start the vertical direction from the opposite side.
<div class="d-flex flex-column">
<div class="p-2">Flex item 1</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 2</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 3</div>
</div>
<div class="d-flex flex-column-reverse">
<div class="p-2">Flex item 1</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 2</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item 3</div>
</div>Responsive variations also exist for flex-direction.

Choose from start (browser default), end, center, between, or around.
<div class="d-flex justify-content-start">...</div>
<div class="d-flex justify-content-end">...</div>
<div class="d-flex justify-content-center">...</div>
<div class="d-flex justify-content-between">...</div>

Choose from start, end, center, baseline, or stretch (browser default).
<div class="d-flex align-items-start">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-end">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-center">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-baseline">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-stretch">...</div>Responsive variations also exist for align-items.

Choose from the same options as align-items: start, end, center, baseline, or stretch (browser default).
<div class="align-self-start">Aligned flex item</div>
<div class="align-self-end">Aligned flex item</div>
<div class="align-self-center">Aligned flex item</div>
<div class="align-self-baseline">Aligned flex item</div>
<div class="align-self-stretch">Aligned flex item</div>Responsive variations also exist for align-self.

Easily move all flex items to one side, but keep another on the opposite end by mixing justify-content with margin-right: auto or margin-left: auto.
<div class="d-flex justify-content-end">
<div class="mr-auto p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
</div>
<div class="d-flex justify-content-start">
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="ml-auto p-2">Flex item</div>
</div>Similarly, move one flex item to the top or bottom of a container by mixing align-items, flex-direction: column, and margin-top: auto or margin-bottom: auto.
<div class="d-flex align-items-start flex-column" style="height: 200px;">
<div class="mb-auto p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-end flex-column" style="height: 200px;">
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
<div class="mt-auto p-2">Flex item</div>
</div>Change how flex items wrap in a flex container. Choose from no wrapping at all (the browser default) with .flex-nowrap, wrapping with .flex-wrap, or reverse wrapping with .flex-wrap-reverse.
<div class="d-flex flex-nowrap">
...
</div><div class="d-flex flex-wrap">
...
</div><div class="d-flex flex-wrap-reverse">
...
</div>Responsive variations also exist for flex-wrap.

We only provide options for making an item first or last, as well as a reset to use the DOM order. As order takes any integer value (e.g., 5), add custom CSS for any additional values needed.
<div class="d-flex flex-nowrap">
<div class="order-last p-2">First flex item</div>
<div class="p-2">Second flex item</div>
<div class="order-first p-2">Third flex item</div>
</div>Responsive variations also exist for order.

Choose from start (browser default), end, center, between, around, or stretch. To demonstrate these utilities, we’ve enforced flex-wrap: wrap and increased the number of flex items.
Heads up! This property has no affect on single rows of flex items.
