# Display helpers

The display helpers allow you to control the display of content. This includes being conditionally visible based upon the current viewport, or the actual element display type.

Specification

# Display

Specify the elements display property. These classes can be applied to all breakpoints from xs to xl. When using a base class,.d-{value}, it is inferred to be .d-${value}-xs.

  • .d-{value} for xs
  • .d-{breakpoint}-{value} for sm, md, lg and xl

The value property is one of:

  • none
  • inline
  • inline-block
  • block
  • table
  • table-cell
  • table-row
  • flex
  • inline-flex

When setting a specific breakpoint for a display helper class, it will apply to all screen widths from the designation and up. For example, d-lg-flex will apply to lg and xl size screens.

# Visibility

Conditionally display an element based upon the current viewport. Breakpoint utility classes always apply from the bottom up. That means if you have .d-none, it will apply to all breakpoints. However, .d-md-none will apply to only md and up.

Screen size Class
Hidden on all .d-none
Hidden only on xs .d-none .d-sm-flex
Hidden only on sm .d-sm-none .d-md-flex
Hidden only on md .d-md-none .d-lg-flex
Hidden only on lg .d-lg-none .d-xl-flex
Hidden only on xl .d-xl-none
Visible on all .d-flex
Visible only on xs .d-flex .d-sm-none
Visible only on sm .d-none .d-sm-flex .d-md-none
Visible only on md .d-none .d-md-flex .d-lg-none
Visible only on lg .d-none .d-lg-flex .d-xl-none
Visible only on xl .d-none .d-xl-flex

Additionally you can also display an element based upon the current viewport using lateral display helper classes. These classes can be applied using the following format hidden-{breakpoint}-{condition}

The condition applies the class base on:

  • only - hide the element only on xs through xl breakpoints
  • and-down - hide the element on the specified breakpoint and down sm through lg breakpoints
  • and-up - hide the element on the specified breakpoint and up sm through lg breakpoints

Additionally, media types can be targeted using the only condition. Both hidden-screen-only and hidden-print-only are currently supported.

# Display in print

You can also change the display property when printing.

  • .d-print-none
  • .d-print-inline
  • .d-print-inline-block
  • .d-print-block
  • .d-print-table
  • .d-print-table-row
  • .d-print-table-cell
  • .d-print-flex
  • .d-print-inline-flex

Print utility classes can also be combined with none print display utilities.

# Accessibility

# Screen readers

Use the d-sr utility classes to conditionally hide content on all devices except screen readers.

  • d-sr-only visually hides elements but will still announce to screen readers.
  • d-sr-only-focusable visually hides an element until it is focused. This is useful when implementing skip links.
