Stacks
Shorthand helpers that build on top of our flexbox utilities to make component layout faster and easier than ever.
Stacks offer a shortcut for applying a number of flexbox properties to quickly and easily create layouts in Bootstrap. All credit for the concept and implementation goes to the open source Pylon project .
Vertical
Use .vstack
to create vertical layouts. Stacked items are full-width by default. Use .gap-*
utilities to add space between items.
<div class="vstack gap-3">
<div class="bg-light border">First item</div>
<div class="bg-light border">Second item</div>
<div class="bg-light border">Third item</div>
</div>
Horizontal
Use .hstack
for horizontal layouts. Stacked items are vertically centered by default and only take up their necessary width. Use .gap-*
utilities to add space between items.
<div class="hstack gap-3">
<div class="bg-light border">First item</div>
<div class="bg-light border">Second item</div>
<div class="bg-light border">Third item</div>
</div>
Using horizontal margin utilities like .ms-auto
as spacers:
<div class="hstack gap-3">
<div class="bg-light border">First item</div>
<div class="bg-light border ms-auto">Second item</div>
<div class="bg-light border">Third item</div>
</div>
And with vertical rules :
<div class="hstack gap-3">
<div class="bg-light border">First item</div>
<div class="bg-light border ms-auto">Second item</div>
<div class="vr"></div>
<div class="bg-light border">Third item</div>
</div>
Examples
Use .vstack
to stack buttons and other elements:
<div class="vstack gap-2 col-md-5 mx-auto">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Save changes</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">Cancel</button>
</div>
Create an inline form with .hstack
:
<div class="hstack gap-3">
<input class="form-control me-auto" type="text" placeholder="Add your item here..." aria-label="Add your item here...">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Submit</button>
<div class="vr"></div>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-danger">Reset</button>
</div>
