Bootstrap is a front-end framework use to make responsive mobile-first websites.
For mobile-first approach, its grid function force designers to create websites for small screen devices like mobile phones.
Our bootstrap responsive templates will provide you a better solution.
Below are the examples which will give you a basic idea about the structure of the large screen and small screen.
Example 1 – For a large screen (Desktop):
On the other hand, In a mobile phone, its structure breaks down and adjust accordingly.
Example 2-For a small screen (Mobile Phone):
Role of a grid system in bootstrap mobile
Working of each grid system in bootstrap is exactly the same. It is differentiated just by the width of the screen size. It includes a responsive mobile-first grid system that scales up to 12 columns in a row.
Mobile First Strategy
- Content
- Everything in a website revolves around the content.
- Layout
- First priority must be smaller width design for mobile devices.
- Progressive Enhancement
- Add new elements as screen size increases.
Different types of grid-
There are four Grid Systems in bootstrap:
- Extra small devices –Phones (< 768px)
- Small devices – Tablets (>= 768px)
- Medium devices – Desktops (>= 992px)
- Large devices – Desktops (>= 1200px)
And each viewport has its own class
- col-xs- (Extra small devices)
- col-sm- (Small devices)
- col-md- (Medium devices)
- col-lg- (Large devices)
To make use of the Grid System, you’d need a container element, with a class”container”, and inside a second container with a class “row”. Notice how in both cases the “fluid” suffix has disappeared And inside the second container you’d place your columns.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">col-md-4</div>
</div>
</div> If you were to say, use columns prefixed by “md” and the viewport happened to be less than 992px wide (even 991px), those columns will stack one below the other with a 100% width, as shown here,
Working of Bootstrap grid System
Grid systems are mainly used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and columns. Let’s see how the Bootstrap grid system works:
- Rows must be placed within a .container class for proper alignment and padding.
- Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.
- Content should be placed within the columns, and only columns may be the immediate children of rows.
- Predefined grid classes like .row and .col-xs-4 are available for quickly making grid layouts.
- Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That padding is offset in rows for the first and the last column via negative margin on .rows.
- Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three .col-xs-4.
Enabling the Grid system
Grid system is enabled simply by adding the viewport meta tag in your document.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">Responsive tables:-
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table">...</table>
</div>
