media object

Documentation and examples for Bootstrap's media object to construct highly repetitive components like blog comments, tweets, and the like.

example

The media object helps build complex and repetitive components where some media is positioned alongside content that doesn't wrap around said media. Plus, it does this with only two required classes thanks to flexbox.

Below is an example of a single media object. Only two classes are required—the wrapping .mediaand the .media-bodyaround your content. Optional padding and margin can be controlled through spacing utilities .

Will you do the same for me? It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse. Heard it's beautiful, be the judge and my girls gonna take a vote. I can feel a phoenix inside of me. Heaven is jealous of our love, angels are crying from up above. Yeah, you take me to utopia.

Flexbug #12: Inline elements aren't treated as flex items

Internet Explorer 10-11 do not render inline elements like links or images (or ::beforeand ::afterpseudo-elements) as flex items. The only workaround is to set a non-inline displayvalue (eg, block, inline-block, or flex). We suggest using .d-flex, one of our display utilities , as an easy fix.

Nesting

Media objects can be infinitely nested, though we suggest you stop at some point. Place nested .mediawithin the .media-bodyof a parent media object.

Standing on the frontline when the bombs start to fall. Heaven is jealous of our love, angels are crying from up above. Can't replace you with a million rings. Boy, when you're with me I'll give you a taste. There's no going back. Before you met me I was alright but things were kinda heavy. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Greetings loved ones let's take a journey. Yes, we make angels cry, raining down on earth from up above. Give you something good to celebrate. I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath. I'm ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans. As I march alone to a different beat. Summer after high school when we first met. You're so hypnotizing, could you be the devil? Could you be an angel? It's time to bring out the big balloons. Thought that I was the exception. Bikinis, zucchinis, Martinis, no weenies.

Top-aligned media

I'm gon' put her in a coma. You give a hundred reasons why, and you say you're really gonna try. So I sat quietly, agreed politely. Suiting up for my crowning battle. And on my 18th Birthday we got matching tattoos. So très chic, yeah, she's a classic. I am ready for the road less travelled.

I'm walking on air (tonight). But down to earth. You're original, cannot be replaced. But in another life I would be your girl. We drove to Cali and got drunk on the beach. We can dance, until we die, you and I, will be young forever. Saw you downtown singing the Blues.

But down to earth. She's got that, je ne sais quoi, you know it. I can see the writing on the wall. The boys break their necks try'na to creep a little sneak peek.

media list

Because the media object has so few structural requirements, you can also use these classes on list HTML elements. On your <ul>or <ol>, add the .list-unstyledto remove any browser default list styles, and then apply .mediato your <li>s. As always, use spacing utilities wherever needed to fine tune.

    All my girls vintage Chanel baby. So you can have your cake. Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm walking on air. Slowly swallowing down my fear, yeah yeah. Growing fast into a bolt of lightning.
