Bootstrap 4 Grid Stacked-to-horizontal
Bootstrap 4 Grid Example: Stacked-to-horizontal
We will create a basic grid system that starts out stacked on extra small devices, before becoming horizontal on larger devices.
The following example shows a simple "stacked-to-horizontal" two-column layout, meaning it will result in a 50%/50% split on all screens, except for extra small screens, which it will automatically stack (100%):
Example: Stacked-to-horizontal
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 bg-success">
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 bg-warning">
<p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »Tip: The numbers in the .col-sm-*
classes indicates how many columns the
div should
span (out of 12). So, .col-sm-1
spans 1 column, .col-sm-4
spans 4 columns,
.col-sm-6
spans 6 columns, etc.
Note:
Make sure that the sum adds up to 12 or fewer (it is not required that you use
all 12 available columns):
Tip: You can turn any fixed-width layout into a full-width layout by changing
the .container
class to .container-fluid
:
Example: Fluid container
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Auto Layout Columns
In Bootstrap 4, there is an easy way to create equal width columns for all devices: just remove the number from .col-size-*
and only use the .col-size
class on a specified number of
col elements. Bootstrap will recognize how many columns there
are, and each column will get the same width. The size classes
determines when the columns should be responsive:
<!-- Two columns: 50% width on all screens, except for extra small (100%
width) -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm">1 of
2</div>
<div class="col-sm">2 of 2</div>
</div>
<!-- Four
columns: 25% width on all screens, except for extra small (100% width)-->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm">1 of 4</div>
<div class="col-sm">2 of 4</div>
<div class="col-sm">3
of 4</div>
<div class="col-sm">4 of 4</div>
</div>
