Borders
Use border utilities to quickly style the border and border-radius of an element. Great for images, buttons, or any other element.
Border
Use border utilities to add or remove an element’s borders. Choose from all borders or one at a time.
Additive
Add borders to custom elements:
html
<span class="border"></span>
<span class="border-top"></span>
<span class="border-end"></span>
<span class="border-bottom"></span>
<span class="border-start"></span>
Subtractive
Or remove borders:
html
<span class="border border-0"></span>
<span class="border border-top-0"></span>
<span class="border border-end-0"></span>
<span class="border border-bottom-0"></span>
<span class="border border-start-0"></span>
Color
Change the border color using utilities built on our theme colors.
html
<span class="border border-primary"></span>
<span class="border border-secondary"></span>
<span class="border border-success"></span>
<span class="border border-danger"></span>
<span class="border border-warning"></span>
<span class="border border-info"></span>
<span class="border border-light"></span>
<span class="border border-dark"></span>
<span class="border border-white"></span>
Or modify the default border-color
of a component:
html
<div class="mb-4">
<label for="exampleFormControlInput1" class="form-label">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control border-success" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="name@example.com">
</div>
<div class="h4 pb-2 mb-4 text-danger border-bottom border-danger">
Dangerous heading
</div>
<div class="p-3 bg-info bg-opacity-10 border border-info border-start-0 rounded-end">
Changing border color and width
</div>
Opacity
Added in v5.2.0
Bootstrap border-{color}
utilities are generated with Sass using CSS variables. This allows for real-time color changes without compilation and dynamic alpha transparency changes.
How it works
Consider our default .border-success
utility.
.border-success {
--bs-border-opacity: 1;
border-color: rgba(var(--bs-success-rgb), var(--bs-border-opacity)) !important;
}
We use an RGB version of our --bs-success
(with the value of 25, 135, 84
) CSS variable and attached a second CSS variable, --bs-border-opacity
, for the alpha transparency (with a default value 1
thanks to a local CSS variable). That means anytime you use .border-success
now, your computed color
value is rgba(25, 135, 84, 1)
. The local CSS variable inside each .border-*
class avoids inheritance issues so nested instances of the utilities don’t automatically have a modified alpha transparency.
Example
To change that opacity, override --bs-border-opacity
via custom styles or inline styles.
html
<div class="border border-success p-2 mb-2">This is default success border</div>
<div class="border border-success p-2" style="--bs-border-opacity: .5;">This is 50% opacity success border</div>
Or, choose from any of the .border-opacity
utilities:
html
<div class="border border-success p-2 mb-2">This is default success border</div>
<div class="border border-success p-2 mb-2 border-opacity-75">This is 75% opacity success border</div>
<div class="border border-success p-2 mb-2 border-opacity-50">This is 50% opacity success border</div>
<div class="border border-success p-2 mb-2 border-opacity-25">This is 25% opacity success border</div>
<div class="border border-success p-2 border-opacity-10">This is 10% opacity success border</div>
Width
html
<span class="border border-1"></span>
<span class="border border-2"></span>
<span class="border border-3"></span>
<span class="border border-4"></span>
<span class="border border-5"></span>
Radius
Add classes to an element to easily round its corners.
html
<img src="..." class="rounded" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-top" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-end" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-bottom" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-start" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-circle" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-pill" alt="...">
Sizes
Use the scaling classes for larger or smaller rounded corners. Sizes range from 0
to 5
, and can be configured by modifying the utilities API.
html
<img src="..." class="rounded-0" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-1" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-2" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-3" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-4" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-5" alt="...">
