Masks

Bootstrap masks

Bootstrap masks alter the visibility of an element by either partially or fully hiding it. Masks are used to make content more visible in the picture.

Pattern

.pattern-8



            <div class="view">
                <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Horizontal/Nature/8-col/img (132).jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="Image of ballons flying over canyons with mask pattern one.">
                <div class="mask pattern-8 flex-center">
                    <p class="white-text">.pattern-8</p>
                </div>
            </div>

Usage

Step 1: Create a wrapper containing class .view.



        <div class="view">
            [...]
        </div>

Step 2: Set a path to the image. If you want to make your image responsive, remember to add a class .img-fluid.



        <div class="view">
            <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Others/nature-sm.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="">
        </div>

Step 3: Add a class .mask to cover the image with the pattern.



        <div class="view">
            <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Others/nature-sm.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="">
            <div class="mask">

            </div>
        </div>

Step 4: Choose a pattern class from the examples above.



        <div class="view">
            <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Others/nature-sm.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="">
            <div class="mask pattern-1">

            </div>
        </div>

Step 5: If you want to add some text, you can use a class .flex-center to center it, and .white-text to give your text a stronger contrast and make it more visible.



        <div class="view">
            <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Others/nature-sm.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="">
            <div class="mask pattern-1 flex-center">
                <p class="white-text">.pattern-1</p>
            </div>
        </div>

Usage

Instruction and markup are the same like for the patterns. It means you add an overlay class (.rgba-black-strong in the example below) to the .mask.

See the full list of the overlay colors and intensity



        <div class="view">
            <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/Photos/Others/nature-sm.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="">
            <div class="mask flex-center rgba-black-strong">
                <p class="white-text">strong overlay</p>
            </div>
        </div>

Map of dependencies of SCSS files in MDBootstrap:


    Legend:

    '-->' means 'required'

    All free and pro files require files from 'core' catalog

    'none' means 'this component doesn't require anything except core files'

    A file wrapped by `< >` means that this file make the base component prettier but it isn't necessary for the proper working

    All PRO components require 'pro/_variables.scss' file
