Easily clear `float`s by adding `.clearfix` **to the parent element**. Utilizes [the micro clearfix](http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/) as popularized by Nicolas Gallagher. Can also be used as a mixin.
{% highlight html %}
<div class="clearfix">...</div>
{% endhighlight %}
{% highlight scss %}
// Mixin itself
.clearfix() {
&:before,
&:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
&:after {
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage as a mixin
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
{% endhighlight %}
The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.
{% example html %}
<div class="bg-info clearfix">
<button class="btn btn-secondary float-xs-left">Example Button pulled left</button>
<button class="btn btn-secondary float-xs-right">Example Button pullred right</button>
</div>
{% endexample %}
