Clearfix

Bootstrap 5 Clearfix

Quickly and easily clear floated content within a container by adding a clearfix utility.

Basic example

Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element. Can also be used as a mixin.

Use in HTML:

html


          <div class="clearfix">...</div>

The mixin source code:

scss


          @mixin clearfix() { &::after { display: block; clear: both; content: ""; } }

Use the mixin in SCSS:

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.

HTML


          <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>
