Utilities

Spacing

There are a wide range of shorthand responsive margin and padding utility classes to modify an element’s appearance.

Margin and padding

Assign responsive-friendly margin or padding values to an element or a subset of its sides with shorthand classes. Includes support for individual properties, all properties, and vertical and horizontal properties. Classes are built from a default Sass map ranging from .25rem to 3rem.

Notation

Spacing utilities that apply to all breakpoints, from xs to xxl, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied from min-width: 0 and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.

The classes are named using the format {property}{sides}-{size} for xs and {property}{sides}-{breakpoint}-{size} for sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl.

Where property is one of:

• m - for classes that set margin
• p - for classes that set padding

Where sides is one of:

• t - for classes that set margin-top or padding-top
• b - for classes that set margin-bottom or padding-bottom
• l - for classes that set *-left
• r - for classes that set *-right
• x - for classes that set both *-left and *-right
• y - for classes that set both *-top and *-bottom
• blank - for classes that set a margin or padding on all 4 sides of the element

Where size is one of:

• 0 - for classes that eliminate the margin or padding by setting it to 0
• 1 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding .25rem
• 2 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding .5rem
• 3 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding
• 4 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding 1.5rem
• 5 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding 3rem
• auto - for classes that set the margin to auto

Examples

<div class="px-5">Left and right padding of 3rem</div>

<div class="py-4">Top and bottom padding of 1.5rem</div>

<div class="ml-4">Left margin of 1.4rem</div>
