Changing display
Use our display utilities for responsively toggling common values
of the display property. Mix it with our grid system, content, or components to show or hide them
across specific viewports.
Flexbox options
Boosted is built with flexbox, but not every element’s display has been changed to
display: flex as this would add many unnecessary overrides and unexpectedly change key browser
behaviors. Most of our components are built with flexbox enabled.
Should you need to add display: flex to an element, do so with .d-flex or one of
the responsive variants (e.g., .d-sm-flex). You’ll need this class or display value
to allow the use of our extra flexbox utilities for sizing, alignment,
spacing, and more.
Margin and padding
Use the margin and padding spacing
utilities to control how elements and components are spaced and sized. Boosted includes a six-level
scale for spacing utilities, based on a 1.25rem value default $spacer variable.
Choose values for all viewports (e.g., .me-3 for margin-right: 1.25rem in LTR), or
pick responsive variants to target specific viewports (e.g., .me-md-3 for
margin-right: 1.25rem —in LTR— starting at the md breakpoint).
Toggle visibility
When toggling display isn’t needed, you can toggle the visibility of an element
with our visibility utilities. Invisible elements will still
affect the layout of the page, but are visually hidden from visitors.
