Study Notes

Bootstrap Grid System Overview

Bootstrap's grid system provides a flexible layout structure using 12 columns.
Layouts adapt to different screen sizes using responsive design principles.

Key Classes

.container centers content and sets a maximum width.
.container-fluid creates a full-width container.
.row creates horizontal groups of columns.
.col-* defines column widths across different screen sizes.
.g-* adds spacing (gutters) between columns.
.offset-* shifts columns to the right.
.order-* changes the visual order of columns.
.align-items-* aligns columns vertically.
.col-auto sizes columns based on content.
.row-cols-* defines the number of columns within each row.
.d-grid creates a CSS grid layout.

Breakpoints

xs applies to extra-small screens (phones).
sm applies to small screens (tablets).
md applies to medium screens (desktops).
lg applies to large screens (larger desktops).
xl applies to extra-large screens (very large desktops).

Important Behaviors

If a row exceeds 12 columns, the extra columns wrap to the next line.
The * in classes like col-md-* represents the number of columns to span.
.col makes all columns within a row have equal width.
