Does bootstrap have builtin padding and margin classes?
Does Bootstrap have built-in padding and margin classes like pad-10, mar-left-10 or I have to add my own custom classes? For example, similar to the ones here at padding and margin tabs.
As for adding margin or padding directly to elements, there are some simple ways to do this depending on your element. You can use btn-lg or label-lg or well-lg. If you're ever wondering, how can i give this alittle padding. Try adding the primary class name + lg or sm or md depending on your size needs:
Spacing utilities that apply to all breakpoints, from xs to xl, 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, and xl.
I would like to give an example which I tried by understanding above documentation and works correctly.
If you wish to apply 25% padding on left and right sides medium screen size then please use px-md-1.
It works as desired and can similarly follow for other screen sizes. :)
I'm adding this code to my Bootstrap3.3 project with the same grid columns breakpoints, based with the @guest answer. Before I have used the Bootstrap 4 padding and margins helper it seens to be a good choice.
For bootstrap 4 we have new classes named with following notation
m - for classes that set margin
p - for classes that set padding
Specify Top, bottom,left, right, left & right, top & bottom using below letters
t - for classes that set margin-top (mt) or padding-top (pt)
b - for classes that set margin-bottom or padding-bottom
l - for classes that set margin-left or padding-left
r - for classes that set margin-right or padding-right
x - for classes that set both *-left and *-right
y - for classes that set both *-top and *-bottom
Specify size using following numbers
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 to $spacer * .25
2 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * .5
3 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer
4 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * 1.5
5 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * 3
Bootstrap has many facility of classes to easily style elements if HTML. It includes a various of padding and margin classes for modification of the appearance of the element.
Bootstrap 5 has changed the ml,mr,pl,pr classes, which no longer work if you're upgrading from a lower version.
The l and r have now been replaced with s(...which is confusing) and e(east?) respectively.
From bootstrap website:
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
s - for classes that set margin-left or padding-left in LTR, margin-right or padding-right in RTL
e - for classes that set margin-right or padding-right in LTR, margin-left or padding-left in RTL
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 to $spacer * .25
2 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * .5
3 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer
4 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * 1.5
5 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * 3
auto - for classes that set the margin to auto
(You can add more sizes by adding entries to the $spacers Sass map variable.)
