React Position - Bootstrap 4 & Material Design

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.

React Bootstrap position utilities are helpful for quickly placing a component outside the normal document flow. See a handful of fixed position classes.

Use these shorthand utilities for quickly configuring the position of an element.

Common values

Quick positioning classes are available, though they are not responsive.

        <div className="position-static">...</div>
        <div className="position-relative">...</div>
        <div className="position-absolute">...</div>
        <div className="position-fixed">...</div>
        <div className="position-sticky">...</div>

      

Fixed top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed position in your project; you may need to add aditional CSS.

        <div className="fixed-top">...</div>

      

Fixed bottom

Position an element at the bottom of the viewport, from edge to edge. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed position in your project; you may need to add aditional CSS.

        <div className="fixed-bottom">...</div>

      

Sticky top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge, but only after you scroll past it. The .sticky-top utility uses CSS’s position: sticky, which isn’t fully supported in all browsers.

Microsoft Edge and IE11 will render position: sticky as position: relative. As such, we wrap the styles in a @supports query, limiting the stickiness to only browsers that properly can render it.

        <div className="sticky-top">...</div>
