Position values
Quick positioning classes are available, though they are not responsive.
<div class="position-static">...</div>
<div class="position-relative">...</div>
<div class="position-absolute">...</div>
<div class="position-fixed">...</div>
<div class="position-sticky">...</div>
Arrange elements
Arrange elements easily with the edge positioning utilities. The format is {property}-{position}
.
Where property is one of:
top
- for the verticaltop
positionstart
- for the horizontalleft
position (in LTR)bottom
- for the verticalbottom
positionend
- for the horizontalright
position (in LTR)
Where position is one of:
0
- for0
edge position50
- for50%
edge position100

edge position
(You can add more position values by adding entries to the $position-values
Sass map variable.)
{{< example class="bd-example-position-utils" >}}
Center elements
In addition, you can also center the elements with the transform utility class .translate-middle
.
This class applies the transformations translateX(-50%)
and translateY(-50%)
to the element which, in combination with the edge positioning utilities, allows you to absolute center an element.
{{< example class="bd-example-position-utils" >}}
By adding .translate-middle-x
or .translate-middle-y
classes, elements can be positioned only in horizontal or vertical direction.
{{< example class="bd-example-position-utils" >}}
Examples
Here are some real life examples of these classes:
{{< example class="bd-example-position-examples d-flex justify-content-around align-items-center" >}} Mails +99 unread messages
You can use these classes with existing components to create new ones. Remember that you can extend its functionality by adding entries to the $position-values
variable.
