Visibility

Set the visibility of elements with our visibility utilities. These utility classes do not modify the display value at all and do not affect layout – .invisible elements still take up space in the page.

Elements with the .invisible class will be hidden both visually and for assistive technology/screen reader users.

Apply .visible or .invisible as needed.

<div class="visible">...</div>
<div class="invisible">...</div>

// Class
.visible {
	visibility: visible !important;
}
.invisible {
	visibility: hidden !important;
}

Visually hide an element while still allowing it to be exposed to assistive technologies (such as screen readers) with .visually-hidden. Use .visually-hidden-focusable to visually hide an element by default, but to display it when it’s focused (e.g. by a keyboard-only user). .visually-hidden-focusable can also be applied to a container–thanks to :focus-within, the container will be displayed when any child element of the container receives focus.

<div>
	<h2 className="visually-hidden">Title for screen readers</h2>
	<a className="visually-hidden-focusable" href="#content">
		Skip to main content
	</a>
	<div className="visually-hidden-focusable">
		A container with a <a href="#">focusable element</a>.
	</div>
</div>

Both visually-hidden and visually-hidden-focusable can also be used as mixins.

// Usage as a mixin

.visually-hidden-title {
	@include visually-hidden;
}

.skip-navigation {
	@include visually-hidden-focusable;
}
