Bootstrap 5 Vertical alignment

What is Bootstrap Vertical alignment?

Vertical alignment utilities position elements on the y-axis. You can center your content with it or align it to the top or the bottom of the viewport.


Installation

Manual installation (zip package)

To use this component, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package


MDB CLI

Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI


NPM

Prerequisites

Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).

Installation

To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:


 i mdb-ui-kit 

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Importing JS modules

You can import the entire library or just individual modules:


 * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module 

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Importing CSS file

To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:


 '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css'; 

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Importing SCSS modules

You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.

Webpack integration

You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.


CDN

Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.

Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:

CSS


<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
JS


<!-- MDB -->
<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Customization

Both vertically and horizontally

Add .d-flex to the parent element to enable flex mode. Then use (alsso on the parent element) .align-items-center to align content vertically and .justify-content-center to align content horizontally.



<div
class="border d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center"
style="height: 350px;"
>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Example button</button>
</div>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode



Flexbox options

Use align-items utilities on flexbox containers to change the alignment of flex items on the cross axis (the y-axis to start, x-axis if flex-direction: column). Choose from start, end, center, baseline, or stretch (browser default).



<div class="d-flex align-items-start">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-end">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-center">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-baseline">...</div>
<div class="d-flex align-items-stretch">...</div>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
