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:

Email address

Dangerous heading

Changing border color and width

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

Boosted 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.

This is default success border

This is 50% opacity success border

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:

This is default success border

This is 75% opacity success border

This is 50% opacity success border

This is 25% opacity success border

This is 10% opacity success border

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-0"></span>
<span class="border border-1"></span>
<span class="border border-2"></span>
<span class="border border-3"></span>

Radius

Add classes to an element to easily round its corners.

html

<img src="..." class="rounded-circle" alt="...">
<img src="..." class="rounded-pill" alt="...">

Dividers

html

<div class="bg-dark p-1">
  <div class="border-top border-white my-3"></div>
  <hr>
</div>
<div class="border-top border-light my-3"></div>
<div class="border-top border-light border-1 my-3"></div>
<div class="border-top border-dark my-3"></div>
<div class="border-top border-dark border-1 my-3"></div>
<div class="border-top my-3"></div>
<hr class="text-light">
<hr class="text-muted">
<hr>
