Bootstrap 5 Grid: Extra Large Devices

Extra large device grid instance

XSmall Small Medium Large Extra Large XXL
Class prefix .col- .col-sm- .col-md- .col-lg- .col-xl- .col-xxl-
Screen width <576px >=576px >=768px >=992px >=1200px >=1400px

In the previous chapter, we demonstrated a grid instance that includes classes for small, medium, and large devices. We used two divs (columns) and split 25%/75% on small devices, 50%/50% on medium devices, and 33%/66% on large devices:

<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8">....</div>

But on xlarge devices, a 20% / 80% split design may be better.

Extra large devices are defined as screen widths of 1200 pixels and above.

For xlarge devices, we will use .col-xl-* Class:

<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-2">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8 col-xl-10">....</div>

The following example will split 25%/75% on small devices, 50%/50% on medium devices, 33%/66% on large devices, and 20%/80% on xlarge and xxlarge devices. On extra small devices, it will automatically stack (100%):

Example

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-2">
      <p>The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), founded on April 29, 1961, has a giant panda as its logo...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8 col-xl-10">
      <p>In 1980, WWF officially came to China, invited by the Chinese government to carry out the protection work of the giant panda and its habitat...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Note:Make sure the total is always 12.

only use XLarge

In the following example, we only specify .col-xl-6 class (without .col-lg-*,.col-md-* and/or .col-sm-*）。This means that xlarge and xxlarge devices will split 50%/50%. However, for large, medium, small, and extra-small devices, it will be vertically stacked (100% width):

Example

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xl-6">
      <p>The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), founded on April 29, 1961, has a giant panda as its logo...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-xl-6">
      <p>In 1980, WWF officially came to China, invited by the Chinese government to carry out the protection work of the giant panda and its habitat...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Automatic Layout Columns

In Bootstrap 5, there is a simple way to create equal-width columns for all devices: just from .col-xl-* remove the numbers and use only on the col element .col-xl class. Bootstrap will recognize how many columns there are, and each column will receive the same width.

If the screen sizeLess than 1200px, columns will be horizontally stacked:

<!-- Two columns: on extra-large and larger devices are 50% width -->
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-xl">1 of 2</div>
  <div class="col-xl">2 of 2</div>
</div>
<!-- Four columns: on extra-large and larger devices are 25% width -->
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-xl">1 of 4</div>
  <div class="col-xl">2 of 4</div>
  <div class="col-xl">3 of 4</div>
  <div class="col-xl">4 of 4</div>
</div>
