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 xl
, 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}
forxs
.d-{breakpoint}-{value}
forsm
,md
,lg
, andxl
.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-lg-none
sets display: none;
on both lg
and xl
screens.
Examples
<div class="d-inline p-2 bg-primary text-white">d-inline</div>
<div class="d-inline p-2 bg-dark 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-dark 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,xl}-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
will hide the element for all screen sizes except on medium and large devices.
Screen Size | Class |
---|---|
Hidden on all | .d-none |
Hidden only on xs | .d-none .d-sm-block |
Hidden only on sm | .d-sm-none .d-md-block |
Hidden only on md | .d-md-none .d-lg-block |
Hidden only on lg | .d-lg-none .d-xl-block |
Hidden only on xl | .d-xl-none |
Visible on all | .d-block |
Visible only on xs | .d-block .d-sm-none |
Visible only on sm | .d-none .d-sm-block .d-md-none |
Visible only on md | .d-none .d-md-block .d-lg-none |
Visible only on lg | .d-none .d-lg-block .d-xl-none |
Visible only on xl | .d-none .d-xl-block |
<div class="d-lg-none">hide on lg and wider screens</div>
<div class="d-none d-lg-block">hide on screens smaller than lg</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>
