Bootstrap utilities are generated with our utility API and can be used to modify or extend our default set of utility classes via Sass. Our utility API is based on a series of Sass maps and functions for generating families of classes with various options. If you're unfamiliar with Sass maps, read up on the [official Sass docs](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/values/maps) to get started.
The `$utilities` map contains all our utilities and is later merged with your custom `$utilities` map, if present. The utility map contains a keyed list of utility groups which accept the following options:
{{< bs-table "table text-left" >}}
| Option | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `property` | **Required** | Name of the property, this can be a string or an array of strings (e.g., horizontal paddings or margins). |
| `values` | **Required** | List of values, or a map if you don't want the class name to be the same as the value. If `null` is used as map key, it isn't compiled. |
| `class` | Optional | Variable for the class name if you don't want it to be the same as the property. In case you don't provide the `class` key and `property` key is an array of strings, the class name will be the first element of the `property` array. |
| `responsive` | Optional | Boolean indicating if responsive classes need to be generated. `false` by default. |
| `rfs` | Optional | Boolean to enable fluid rescaling. Have a look at the [RFS]({{< docsref "/getting-started/rfs" >}}) page to find out how this works. `false` by default. |
| `print` | Optional | Boolean indicating if print classes need to be generated. `false` by default. |
{{< /bs-table >}}
## API explained
All utility variables are added to the `$utilities` variable within our `_utilities.scss` stylesheet. Each group of utilities looks something like this:
```scss
$utilities: (
"opacity": (
property: opacity,
values: (
0: 0,
25: .25,
50: .5,
75: .75,
100: 1,
)
)
);
```
Which outputs the following:
```css
.opacity-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-100 { opacity: 1; }
```
### Custom class prefix
Use the `class` option to change the class prefix used in the compiled CSS:
```scss
$utilities: (
"opacity": (
property: opacity,
class: o,
values: (
0: 0,
25: .25,
50: .5,
75: .75,
100: 1,
)
)
);
```
Output:
```css
.o-0 { opacity: 0; }
.o-25 { opacity: .25; }
.o-50 { opacity: .5; }
.o-75 { opacity: .75; }
.o-100 { opacity: 1; }
```
### Responsive utilities
Add the `responsive` boolean to generate responsive utilities (e.g., `.opacity-md-25`) across [all breakpoints]({{< docsref "/layout/breakpoints" >}}).
```scss
$utilities: (
"opacity": (
property: opacity,
responsive: true,
values: (
0: 0,
25: .25,
50: .5,
75: .75,
100: 1,
)
)
);
```
Output:
```css
.opacity-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-100 { opacity: 1; }
@media (min-width: 576px) {
.opacity-sm-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-sm-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-sm-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-sm-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-sm-100 { opacity: 1; }
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.opacity-md-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-md-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-md-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-md-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-md-100 { opacity: 1; }
}
@media (min-width: 992px) {
.opacity-lg-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-lg-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-lg-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-lg-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-lg-100 { opacity: 1; }
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.opacity-xl-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-xl-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-xl-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-xl-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-xl-100 { opacity: 1; }
}
@media (min-width: 1400px) {
.opacity-xxl-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-xxl-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-xxl-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-xxl-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-xxl-100 { opacity: 1; }
}
```
### Changing utilities
Override existing utilities by using the same key. For example, if you want additional responsive overflow utility classes, you can do this:
```scss
$utilities: (
"overflow": (
responsive: true,
property: overflow,
values: visible hidden scroll auto,
),
);
```
### Print utilities
Enabling the `print` option will **also** generate utility classes for print, which are only applied within the `@media print { ... }` media query.
```scss
$utilities: (
"opacity": (
property: opacity,
print: true,
values: (
0: 0,
25: .25,
50: .5,
75: .75,
100: 1,
)
)
);
```
Output:
```css
.opacity-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-100 { opacity: 1; }
@media print {
.opacity-print-0 { opacity: 0; }
.opacity-print-25 { opacity: .25; }
.opacity-print-50 { opacity: .5; }
.opacity-print-75 { opacity: .75; }
.opacity-print-100 { opacity: 1; }
}
```
## Using the API
Now that you're familiar with how the utilities API works, learn how to add your own custom classes and modify our default utilities.
### Add utilities
New utilities can be added to the default `$utilities` map with a `map-merge`. Make sure our `_utilities.scss` is imported first, then use the `map-merge` to add your additional utilities. For example, here's how to add a responsive `cursor` utility with three values.
```scss
@import "bootstrap/scss/utilities";
$utilities: map-merge(
$utilities,
(
"cursor": (
property: cursor,
class: cursor
responsive: true,
values: auto pointer grab,
)
)
);
```
### Modify utilities
Modify existing utilities in the default `$utilities` map with `map-get` and `map-merge` functions. In the example below, we're adding an additional value to the `width` utilities. Start with an initial `map-merge` and then specify which utility you want to modify. From there, fetch the nested `"width"` map with `map-get` to access and modify the utility's options and values.
```scss
@import "bootstrap/scss/utilities";
$utilities: map-merge(
$utilities,
(
"width": map-merge(
map-get($utilities, "width"),
(
values: map-merge(
map-get(map-get($utilities, "width"), "values"),
(10: 10%),
),
),
),
)
);
```
### Remove utilities
Remove any of the default utilities by setting the group key to `null`. For example, to remove all our `width` utilities, create a `$utilities` `map-merge` and add `"width": null` within.
```scss
@import "bootstrap/scss/utilities";
$utilities: map-merge(
$utilities,
(
"width": null
)
);
```
