On this page

v5.2.3

Boosted v5.2.3 has landed with a handful of urgent bug fixes from Bootstrap and with specific Boosted content.

If you need more details about the changes, please refer to the v5.2.3 release.

Accessibility

Focus visible
- Warning We completely refactored our focus visible management.
A focus-visible() mixin is provided to ensure a proper visible focus state. This visible focus state is defined by an outer outline and an inner box shadow. On light background, the outer outline is black and the inner box shadow is white. The latter will be invisible most of the time but is here to ensure a security on light background but that aren’t white. On dark background, these colors are inverted.

We also removed the :focus style of our components that was mirroring the :hover state, as well as the transition animation.

Even if the generic case will be transparent for your project, please check this new behavior in your websites.

Components

Card
- Warning We now apply font styles on our .card-title and .card-subtitle, so you can use any <h*> following your semantic structure inside a card. Please check and reflect if necessary this modification into your websites.
  More info
```
- <h4 class="card-title">Title</h4>
+ <h3 class="card-title">Title</h3>
```
- Warning We now apply .fw-bold on some .card-text when there is an image in the card to follow the design guidelines. Please check and reflect if necessary this modification into your websites.
  More info
```
- <p class="card-text">Description</p>
+ <p class="card-text fw-bold">Description</p>
```

Dropdowns

Warning Dropdown menus y offset has slightly changed from 2px to 0. Please reflect this modification into your websites by changing each data-bs-offset or by adding them if needed and set it to 0.

- <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false" data-bs-offset="0,y">
+ <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false" data-bs-offset="0,0">

Footer

Warning Each footer accordion now uses an aria-labelledby attribute to be consistent with our accordion component. Please reflect these modifications into your websites.

More info

- <div id="collapse" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#accordion">
+ <div id="collapse" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#accordion" aria-labelledby="heading">

Navs & Tabs
- Breaking Nested tabs variant changed its markup to ensure a greater accessibility and consistency over the documentation. Please reflect these modifications into your websites.
  More info
  - Ensure that the root element of the tablist is a <ul>.
  - Ensure that the role="tablist" is set on <ul>.
  - Ensure that the role="tablist" has an aria-owns set too with all the ids it owns.
  - Ensure that the role="presentation" is set on each <li> inside a role="tablist".
  - Ensure that the role="tabpanel" is set on each child of .tab-content.
  - Ensure that the disabled links only miss the [href] attribute.

Stepped Process

Current step has been slightly changed for accessibility purpose; the link to this step has been converted to plain text. Please reflect this modification into your websites.

-        <a class="stepped-process-link" href="#" title="2. Review" aria-current="step">Review</a>
+        <a class="stepped-process-link" title="2. Review" aria-current="step">Review</a>

Tables
- Warning Every table now has a caption with .visually-hidden on it. Please reflect this modification into your websites.
- New Tables now fully support striped rows and columns.

Forms

New Form helpers icon buttons will help you to provide extra help information with the .form-helper utility class.
New Small size form controls are now available. Small inputs are defined by their .form-control-sm, small selects by their .form-select-sm. They can be associated with .col-form-label-sm to correctly follow their size if needed. .input-group-sm can also be used depending on the context.

Examples

Cards and Cards RTL

Warning We now use correctly <button> instead of <a>. We now apply font style on our .card-title so these examples have been modified to follow the right semantic header hierarchy. Furthermore, we dropped unnecessary .card-footer and notice that size of icons has slightly changed. Please check and reflect if necessary this modification into your websites.

Example

  <div class="card">
    <img src="..." alt="..."/>
    <div class="card-body">
-     <h4 class="card-title">Title</h4>
+     <h3 class="card-title">Title</h3>
-     <h6 class="card-text">Caption</h6>
+     <p class="card-text fw-bold mb-4">Caption</p>
-   </div>
-   <div class="card-footer pt-2">
-     <a class="btn btn-secondary" aria-label="Button description" title="Button description">Button</a>
+     <button class="btn btn-secondary" aria-label="Button description" title="Button description">Button</button>
    </div>
  </div>

Pages

v5.2.0

Refreshed design

Boosted v5.2.0 features a subtle design update for a handful of components and properties across the project, most notably through refined border-radius values on buttons and form controls. Our documentation also has been updated with a new homepage and a simpler docs layout that no longer collapses sections of the sidebar.

More CSS variables

We’ve updated all our components to use CSS variables. While Sass still underpins everything, each component has been updated to include CSS variables on the component base classes (e.g., .btn), allowing for more real-time customization of Bootstrap. In subsequent releases, we’ll continue to expand our use of CSS variables into our layout, forms, helpers, and utilities. Read more about CSS variables in each component on their respective documentation pages.

Our CSS variable usage will be somewhat incomplete until Boosted 6. While we’d love to fully implement these across the board, they do run the risk of causing breaking changes. For example, setting $alert-border-width: var(--bs-border-width) in our source code breaks potential Sass in your own code if you were doing $alert-border-width * 2 for some reason.

As such, wherever possible, we will continue to push towards more CSS variables, but please recognize our implementation may be slightly limited in v5.

New `_maps.scss`

Boosted v5.2.0 introduced a new Sass file with _maps.scss. It pulls out several Sass maps from _variables.scss to fix an issue where updates to an original map were not applied to secondary maps that extend them. For example, updates to $theme-colors were not being applied to other theme maps that relied on $theme-colors, breaking key customization workflows. In short, Sass has a limitation where once a default variable or map has been used, it cannot be updated. There’s a similar shortcoming with CSS variables when they’re used to compose other CSS variables.

This is why variable customizations in Boosted have to come after @import "functions", but before @import "variables" and the rest of our import stack. The same applies to Sass maps—you must override the defaults before they get used. The following maps have been moved to the new _maps.scss:

$theme-colors-rgb
$utilities-colors
$utilities-text
$utilities-text-colors
$utilities-bg
$utilities-bg-colors
$negative-spacers
$gutters

Your custom Boosted CSS builds should now look something like this with a separate maps import.

  // Functions come first
  @import "functions";

  // Optional variable overrides here
+ $custom-color: #df711b;
+ $custom-theme-colors: (
+   "custom": $custom-color
+ );

  // Variables come next
  @import "variables";

+ // Optional Sass map overrides here
+ $theme-colors: map-merge($theme-colors, $custom-theme-colors);
+
+ // Followed by our default maps
+ @import "maps";
+
  // Rest of our imports
  @import "mixins";
  @import "utilities";
  @import "root";
  @import "reboot";
  // etc

New utilities

Expanded font-weight utilities to include .fw-semibold for semibold fonts.
Expanded border-radius utilities to include two new sizes, .rounded-4 and .rounded-5, for more options.

Additional changes

Introduced new $enable-container-classes option. — Now when opting into the experimental CSS Grid layout, .container-* classes will still be compiled, unless this option is set to false. Containers also now keep their gutter values.
Offcanvas component now has responsive variations. The original .offcanvas class remains unchanged—it hides content across all viewports. To make it responsive, change that .offcanvas class to any .offcanvas-{sm|md|lg|xl|xxl} class.
Thicker table dividers are now opt-in. — We’ve removed the thicker and more difficult to override border between table groups and moved it to an optional class you can apply, .table-group-divider. See the table docs for an example.
Scrollspy has been rewritten to use the Intersection Observer API, which means you no longer need relative parent wrappers, deprecates offset config, and more. Look for your Scrollspy implementations to be more accurate and consistent in their nav highlighting.
Popovers and tooltips now use CSS variables. Some CSS variables have been updated from their Sass counterparts to reduce the number of variables. As a result, three variables have been deprecated in this release: $popover-arrow-color, $popover-arrow-outer-color, and $tooltip-arrow-color.
Added new .text-bg-{color} helpers. Instead of setting individual .text-* and .bg-* utilities, you can now use the .text-bg-* helpers to set a background-color with contrasting foreground color.
Added .form-check-reverse modifier to flip the order of labels and associated checkboxes/radios.
Added striped columns support to tables via the new .table-striped-columns class.
Breaking Changed data-o-label to data-bs-label in Back to top component.
Breaking Re-introduced footer component by tweaking a bit the classes: replaced .o-footer-* by .footer-*.

For a complete list of changes, see the v5.2.0 project on GitHub.

v5.1.0

Breaking Changed the behavior of .bg-success, .bg-danger, .bg-warning and .bg-info. You may prefer to use .bg-supporting-green, .bg-supporting-pink, .bg-supporting-yellow and .bg-supporting-blue instead (apart from badges). $supporting-colors is replaced by $background-colors.
Added experimental support for CSS Grid layout. — This is a work in progress, and is not yet ready for production use, but you can opt into the new feature via Sass. To enable it, disable the default grid, by setting $enable-grid-classes: false and enable the CSS Grid by setting $enable-cssgrid: true.
Updated navbars to support offcanvas. — Add offcanvas drawers in any navbar with the responsive .navbar-expand-* classes and some offcanvas markup.
Added new placeholder component. — Our newest component, a way to provide temporary blocks in lieu of real content to help indicate that something is still loading in your site or app.
Collapse plugin now supports horizontal collapsing. — Add .collapse-horizontal to your .collapse to collapse the width instead of the height. Avoid browser repainting by setting a min-height or height.
Added new stack and vertical rule helpers. — Quickly apply multiple flexbox properties to quickly create custom layouts with stacks. Choose from horizontal (.hstack) and vertical (.vstack) stacks. Add vertical dividers similar to <hr> elements with the new .vr helpers.
Added new global :root CSS variables. — Added several new CSS variables to the :root level for controlling <body> styles. More are in the works, including across our utilities and components, but for now read up CSS variables in the Customize section.
Overhauled color and background utilities to use CSS variables, and added new text opacity and background opacity utilities. — .text-* and .bg-* utilities are now built with CSS variables and rgba() color values, allowing you to easily customize any utility with new opacity utilities.
Added new snippet examples based to show how to customize our components. — Pull ready to use customized components and other common design patterns with our new Snippets examples.
Removed unused positioning styles from popovers and tooltips as these are handled solely by Popper. $tooltip-margin has been deprecated and set to null in the process.

Want more information? Read the v5.1.0 blog post.

Hey there! Changes to our first major release of Boosted 5, v5.0.0, are documented below. They don’t reflect the additional changes shown above.

Dependencies

Dropped jQuery.
Upgraded from Popper v1.x to Popper v2.x.
Replaced Libsass with Dart Sass as our Sass compiler given Libsass was deprecated.
Migrated from Jekyll to Hugo for building our documentation

Browser support

Dropped Internet Explorer 10 and 11
Dropped Microsoft Edge < 16 (Legacy Edge)
Dropped Firefox < 60
Dropped Safari < 12
Dropped iOS Safari < 12
Dropped Chrome < 60

Documentation changes

Redesigned homepage, docs layout, and footer.
Added new Parcel guide.
Added new Customize section, replacing v4’s Theming page, with new details on Sass, global configuration options, color schemes, CSS variables, and more.
Reorganized all form documentation into new Forms section, breaking apart the content into more focused pages.
Similarly, updated the Layout section, to flesh out grid content more clearly.
Renamed “Navs” component page to “Navs & Tabs”.
Renamed “Checks” page to “Checks & radios”.
Redesigned the navbar and added a new subnav to make it easier to get around our sites and docs versions.
Added new keyboard shortcut for the search field: Ctrl + /.

Sass

We’ve ditched the default Sass map merges to make it easier to remove redundant values. Keep in mind you now have to define all values in the Sass maps like $theme-colors. Check out how to deal with Sass maps.
Breaking Renamed $orange-2 to $accessible-orange.
Breaking Removed $container-fluid-margin-widths. Please use $container-fluid-margin instead.
Breaking Renamed color-yiq() function and related variables to color-contrast() as it’s no longer related to YIQ color space. See #30168.
- $yiq-contrasted-threshold is renamed to $min-contrast-ratio.
- $yiq-text-dark and $yiq-text-light are respectively renamed to $color-contrast-dark and $color-contrast-light.
Breaking Media query mixins parameters have changed for a more logical approach.
- media-breakpoint-down() uses the breakpoint itself instead of the next breakpoint (e.g., media-breakpoint-down(lg) instead of media-breakpoint-down(md) targets viewports smaller than lg).
- Similarly, the second parameter in media-breakpoint-between() also uses the breakpoint itself instead of the next breakpoint (e.g., media-between(sm, lg) instead of media-breakpoint-between(sm, md) targets viewports between sm and lg).
Breaking Removed print styles and $enable-print-styles variable. Print display classes are still around. See #28339.
Breaking Dropped color(), theme-color(), and gray() functions in favor of variables. See #29083.
Breaking Renamed theme-color-level() function to color-level() and now accepts any color you want instead of only $theme-color colors. See #29083 Watch out: color-level() was later on dropped in v5.0.0-alpha3.
Breaking Renamed $enable-prefers-reduced-motion-media-query and $enable-pointer-cursor-for-buttons to $enable-reduced-motion and $enable-button-pointers for brevity.
Breaking Removed the bg-gradient-variant() mixin. Use the .bg-gradient class to add gradients to elements instead of the generated .bg-gradient-* classes.
Breaking Removed previously deprecated mixins:
- hover, hover-focus, plain-hover-focus, and hover-focus-active
- float()
- form-control-mixin()
- nav-divider()
- retina-img()
- text-hide() (also dropped the associated utility class, .text-hide)
- visibility()
- form-control-focus()
Breaking Renamed scale-color() function to shift-color() to avoid collision with Sass’s own color scaling function.
box-shadow mixins now allow null values and drop none from multiple arguments. See #30394.
The border-radius() mixin now has a default value.

Color system

The color system which worked with color-level() and $theme-color-interval was removed in favor of a new color system. All lighten() and darken() functions in our codebase are replaced by tint-color() and shade-color(). These functions will mix the color with either white or black instead of changing its lightness by a fixed amount. The shift-color() will either tint or shade a color depending on whether its weight parameter is positive or negative. See #30622 for more details.
Added new tints and shades for every color, providing nine separate colors for each base color, as new Sass variables.
Improved color contrast. Bumped color contrast ratio from 3:1 to 4.5:1 and updated blue, green, cyan, and pink colors to ensure WCAG 2.1 AA contrast. Also changed our color contrast color from $gray-900 to $black.
To support our color system, we’ve added new custom tint-color() and shade-color() functions to mix our colors appropriately.

Grid updates

New breakpoint! Added new xxl breakpoint for 1400px and up. No changes to all other breakpoints.
Improved gutters. Gutters are now set in rems, and are narrower than v4 (1.5rem, or about 24px, down from 30px). This aligns our grid system’s gutters with our spacing utilities.
- Added new gutter class (.g-*, .gx-*, and .gy-*) to control horizontal/vertical gutters, horizontal gutters, and vertical gutters.
- Breaking Renamed .no-gutters to .g-0 to match new gutter utilities.
Columns no longer have position: relative applied, so you may have to add .position-relative to some elements to restore that behavior.
Breaking Dropped several .order-* classes that often went unused. We now only provide .order-1 to .order-5 out of the box.
Breaking Dropped the .media component as it can be easily replicated with utilities. See #28265 and the flex utilities page for an example.
Breaking boosted-grid.css now only applies box-sizing: border-box to the column instead of resetting the global box-sizing. This way, our grid styles can be used in more places without interference.
$enable-grid-classes no longer disables the generation of container classes anymore. See #29146.
Updated the make-col mixin to default to equal columns without a specified size.

Content, Reboot, etc

Breaking Orange Helvetica CSS file names changed from orangeHelvetica.*.css to orange-helvetica.*.css.
RFS is now enabled by default. Headings using the font-size() mixin will automatically adjust their font-size to scale with the viewport. This feature was previously opt-in with v4.
Breaking Overhauled our display typography to replace our $display-* variables and with a $display-font-sizes Sass map. Also removed the individual $display-*-weight variables for a single $display-font-weight and adjusted font-sizes.
Added two new .display-* heading sizes, .display-5 and .display-6.
Links are underlined by default (not just on hover), unless they’re part of specific components.

Redesigned tables to refresh their styles and rebuild them with CSS variables for more control over styling.
Breaking Nested tables do not inherit styles anymore.
Breaking .thead-light and .thead-dark are dropped in favor of the .table-* variant classes which can be used for all table elements (thead, tbody, tfoot, tr, th and td).
Breaking The table-row-variant() mixin is renamed to table-variant() and accepts only 2 parameters: $color (color name) and $value (color code). The border color and accent colors are automatically calculated based on the table factor variables.

Breaking Dropped .pre-scrollable class. See #29135
Breaking .text-* utilities do not add hover and focus states to links anymore. .link-* helper classes can be used instead. See #29267
Breaking Dropped .text-justify class. See #29793
Breaking ~~<hr> elements now use height instead of border to better support the size attribute. This also enables use of padding utilities to create thicker dividers (e.g., <hr class="py-1">).~~
Reset default horizontal padding-left on <ul> and <ol> elements from browser default 40px to 2rem.
Added $enable-smooth-scroll, which applies scroll-behavior: smooth globally—except for users asking for reduced motion through prefers-reduced-motion media query. See #31877

RTL

Horizontal direction specific variables, utilities, and mixins have all been renamed to use logical properties like those found in flexbox layouts—e.g., start and end in lieu of left and right.

Forms

Breaking Consolidated native and custom form elements. Checkboxes, radios, selects, and other inputs that had native and custom classes in v4 have been consolidated. Now nearly all our form elements are entirely custom, most without the need for custom HTML.

The longstanding Missing border radius on input group with validation feedback bug is finally fixed by adding an additional .has-validation class to input groups with validation.
Breaking Dropped form-specific layout classes for our grid system. Use our grid and utilities instead of .form-group, .form-row, or .form-inline.
Breaking Form labels now require .form-label.
Breaking .form-text no longer sets display, allowing you to create inline or block help text as you wish just by changing the HTML element.
Form controls no longer used fixed height when possible, instead deferring to min-height to improve customization and compatibility with other components.
Validation icons are no longer applied to <select>s with multiple.
Rearranged source Sass files under scss/forms/, including input group styles.

Components

Unified padding values for alerts, breadcrumbs, cards, dropdowns, list groups, modals, popovers, and tooltips to be based on our $spacer variable. See #30564.

Accordion

Added new accordion component.

Alerts

Alerts now have examples with icons.
Removed custom styles for <hr>s in each alert since they already use currentColor.

Badges

Breaking Dropped all .badge-* color classes for background utilities (e.g., use .bg-primary instead of .badge-primary).
Breaking Dropped .badge-pill—use the .rounded-pill utility instead.
Breaking Removed hover and focus styles for <a> and <button> elements.

Added new CSS custom property --bs-breadcrumb-divider for easy customization without needing to recompile CSS.

Buttons

Breaking Toggle buttons, with checkboxes or radios, no longer require JavaScript and have new markup. We no longer require a wrapping element, add .btn-check to the <input>, and pair it with any .btn classes on the <label>. See #30650. The docs for this has moved from our Buttons page to the new Forms section.
Breaking Dropped .btn-block for utilities. Instead of using .btn-block on the .btn, wrap your buttons with .d-grid and a .gap-* utility to space them as needed. Switch to responsive classes for even more control over them. Read the docs for some examples.
Breaking Social buttons now need an extra .btn-icon.
Updated our button-variant() and button-outline-variant() mixins to support additional parameters.
Updated buttons to ensure increased contrast on hover and active states.
Disabled buttons now have pointer-events: none;.

Card

Breaking Dropped .card-deck in favor of our grid. Wrap your cards in column classes and add a parent .row-cols-* container to recreate card decks (but with more control over responsive alignment).

Replaced chevron icons for carousel controls with new SVGs from Solaris.

Close button

Breaking Renamed .close to .btn-close for a less generic name.
Close buttons now use a background-image (embedded SVG) instead of a × in the HTML, allowing for easier customization without the need to touch your markup.
Added new .btn-close-white variant that uses filter: invert(1) to enable higher contrast dismiss icons against darker backgrounds.

Darkened the dropdown divider for improved contrast.
Breaking All the events for the dropdown are now triggered on the dropdown toggle button and then bubbled up to the parent element.
Dropdown menus now have a data-bs-popper="static" attribute set when the positioning of the dropdown is static, or dropdown is in the navbar. This is added by our JavaScript and helps us use custom position styles without interfering with Popper’s positioning.
Breaking Dropped flip option for dropdown plugin in favor of native Popper configuration. You can now disable the flipping behavior by passing an empty array for fallbackPlacements option in flip modifier.
Dropdown menus can now be clickable with a new autoClose option to handle the auto close behavior. You can use this option to accept the click inside or outside the dropdown menu to make it interactive.

Breaking Removed .text-hide as it’s an antiquated method for hiding text that shouldn’t be used anymore.
Added .fs-* utilities for font-size utilities (with RFS enabled). These use the same scale as HTML’s default headings (1-6, large to small), and can be modified via Sass map.
Breaking Renamed .font-weight-* utilities as .fw-* for brevity and consistency.
Breaking Renamed .font-style-* utilities as .fst-* for brevity and consistency.

Helpers

Breaking Responsive embed helpers have been renamed to ratio helpers with new class names and improved behaviors, as well as a helpful CSS variable.
- Classes have been renamed to change by to x in the aspect ratio. For example, .ratio-16by9 is now .ratio-16x9.
- We’ve dropped the .embed-responsive-item and element group selector in favor of a simpler .ratio > * selector. No more class is needed, and the ratio helper now works with any HTML element.
- The $embed-responsive-aspect-ratios Sass map has been renamed to $aspect-ratios and its values have been simplified to include the class name and the percentage as the key: value pair.
- CSS variables are now generated and included for each value in the Sass map. Modify the --bs-aspect-ratio variable on the .ratio to create any custom aspect ratio.
Breaking “Screen reader” classes are now “visually hidden” classes.

boosted-utilities.css now also includes our helpers. Helpers don’t need to be imported in custom builds anymore.

JavaScript

Dropped jQuery dependency and rewrote plugins to be in regular JavaScript.
Breaking Data attributes for all JavaScript plugins are now namespaced to help distinguish Boosted functionality from third parties and your own code. For example, we use data-bs-toggle instead of data-toggle.
All plugins can now accept a CSS selector as the first argument. You can either pass a DOM element or any valid CSS selector to create a new instance of the plugin:
```
const modal = new boosted.Modal('#myModal')
const dropdown = new boosted.Dropdown('[data-bs-toggle="dropdown"]')
```
popperConfig can be passed as a function that accepts the Boosted’s default Popper config as an argument, so that you can merge this default configuration in your way. Applies to dropdowns, popovers, and tooltips.
The default value for the fallbackPlacements is changed to ['top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left'] for better placement of Popper elements. Applies to dropdowns, popovers, and tooltips.
Removed underscore from public static methods like _getInstance() → getInstance().
