Clearfix

Bootstrap 5 Clearfix

Quickly and easily clear floated content within a container by adding a clearfix utility.

Basic example

Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element. Can also be used as a mixin.

Use in HTML:

Edit in sandbox 
<div class="clearfix">...</div>

The mixin source code:

Edit in sandbox 
@mixin clearfix() {
  &::after {
    display: block;
    clear: both;
    content: "";
  }
}

Use the mixin in SCSS:

Edit in sandbox 
.element {
  @include clearfix;
}

The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.

Edit in sandbox 
<div class="bg-info clearfix">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-start" data-mdb-ripple-init>
    Example Button floated left
  </button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-end" data-mdb-ripple-init>
    Example Button floated right
  </button>
</div>
// Initialization for ES Users
import { Ripple, initMDB } from "mdb-ui-kit";

initMDB({ Ripple });
