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]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/layout/overview/#responsive-breakpoints), from xs to xl, 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, and xl.

Where value is one of:

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

The display values can be altered by changing the $displays variable and recompiling the SCSS.

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

Examples

{% capture example %}

d-inline

d-inline

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

{% capture example %} d-block d-block {% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

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}-none classes for any responsive screen variation.

To show an element only on a given interval of screen sizes you can combine one .d-*-none class with a .d-*-* class, for example .d-none .d-md-block .d-xl-none will hide the element for all screen sizes except on medium and large devices.

Screen Size	Class
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
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

{% capture example %}

hide on screens wider than lg

hide on screens smaller than lg

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

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-table
• .d-print-table-row
• .d-print-table-cell
• .d-print-flex
• .d-print-inline-flex

The print and display classes can be combined.

{% capture example %}

Screen Only (Hide on print only)

Print Only (Hide on screen only)

Hide up to large on screen, but always show on print

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}
