Float

Toggle floats on any element, across any breakpoint.

.float

-sm

-md

-lg

-xl

-left

-right

-none

.clearfix

These utility classes float an element to the left or right, or disable floating, based on the current viewport size using the CSS float property. !important is included to avoid specificity issues. These use the same viewport breakpoints as our grid system. Please be aware float utilities have no affect on flex items.

Examples

Float left on all viewport sizes

Float right on all viewport sizes

Don't float on all viewport sizes

<div class="float-left">Float left on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-right">Float right on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-none">Don't float on all viewport sizes</div>

Responsive variations also exist for each float value.

Float right on viewports sized SM (small) or wider

Float left on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider

Float right on viewports sized LG (large) or wider

Float left on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider

<div class="float-sm-right">Float right on viewports sized SM (small) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-md-left">Float left on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-lg-right">Float right on viewports sized LG (large) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-xl-left">Float left on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider</div><br>

Clearfix

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

CSS Stylus

<div class="clearfix">...</div> 
.some-element
    clearfix()

The following example shows how the clearfix can be used.

Example Button floated left

Example Button floated right

<div class="example clearfix">
  <div class="bg-2 float-left">Example Button floated left</div>
  <div class="bg-2 float-right">Example Button floated right</div>
</div>

Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.
