Display property

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 xxl, 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} for xs
  • .d-{breakpoint}-{value} for sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl.

Where value is one of:

  • none
  • inline
  • inline-block
  • block
  • grid
  • inline-grid
  • table
  • table-cell
  • table-row
  • flex
  • inline-flex

The display values can be altered by changing the display values defined in $utilities and recompiling the SCSS.

The media queries affect screen widths with the given breakpoint or larger. For example, .d-lg-none sets display: none; on lg, xl, and xxl screens.

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,xxl}-none classes for any responsive screen variation.

Screen sizeClass
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 .d-xxl-block
Hidden only on xxl.d-xxl-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 .d-xxl-none
Visible only on xxl.d-none .d-xxl-block

	<div className="d-none d-lg-block">hide on screens smaller than lg</div>
</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-grid
  • .d-print-inline-grid
  • .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.
