Clearfix
Quickly and easily clear floated content within a container by adding a clearfix utility.
On this page
Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element. Can also be used as a mixin.
Use in HTML:
<div class="clearfix">...</div>
The mixin source code:
@mixin clearfix() {
&::after {
display: block;
clear: both;
content: "";
}
}
Use the mixin in SCSS:
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
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.
<div class="bg-info clearfix">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-start">Example Button floated left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-end">Example Button floated right</button>
</div>
