Clearfix

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

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

Use in HTML:

              
                <div class="clearfix">...</div>
              
            

The mixin source code:

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

Use the mixin in SCSS:

              
                .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.

                    
                      <div class="bg-info clearfix">
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-start">Example Button floated left</button>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-end">Example Button floated right</button>
                      </div>
