Spacing

Utility classes to add spacing between elements.

This page showcases wet-boew utility features including some integration from Bootstrap 4.

Please note that some backported Bootstrap 4 classes have been adjusted to follow Bootstrap 3.4's view breakpoints. For example, small (sm) view's minimum width is 768px in Bootstrap 3.4, as opposed to 576px in Bootstrap 4.

How it works

Assign responsive-friendly margin or padding values to an element or a subset of its sides with shorthand classes. Includes support for individual properties, all properties, and vertical and horizontal properties.

Notation

Spacing utilities that apply to all breakpoints, from xs to lg, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied from min-width: 0 and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.

The classes are named using the format {property}{sides}-{size} for xs and {property}{sides}-{breakpoint}-{size} for sm, md, and lg.

Where property is one of:

• m - for classes that set margin
• p - for classes that set padding

Where sides is one of:

• t - for classes that set margin-top or padding-top
• b - for classes that set margin-bottom or padding-bottom
• l - for classes that set margin-left or padding-left
• r - for classes that set margin-right or padding-right
• x - for classes that set both *-left and *-right
• y - for classes that set both *-top and *-bottom
• blank - for classes that set a margin or padding on all 4 sides of the element

Where size is one of:

• 0 - for classes that eliminate the margin or padding by setting it to 0
• 1 - for classes that set the margin or padding to 5px
• 2 - for classes that set the margin or padding to 10px
• 3 - for classes that set the margin or padding to 20px
• 4 - for classes that set the margin or padding to 30px
• 5 - for classes that set the margin or padding to 60px
• auto - for classes that set the margin to auto

Some working examples

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, magnam.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, magnam.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, magnam.

Code sample

<p class="bg-primary mb-5">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, magnam.</p>
<p class="bg-primary px-3">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, magnam.</p>
<p class="bg-primary mt-sm-4">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, magnam.</p>
<div class="d-flex">
	<div class="col-xs-6 mx-auto"><p class="bg-primary">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p></div>
</div>

Additional spacing classes

mrgn-{position}-{size}

Where position is one of:

• tp - for classes that set margin-top
• lft - for classes that set margin-left
• rght - for classes that set margin-right
• bttm - for classes that set margin-bottom

Where size is one of:

• 0 - for classes that set a margin of 0px
• sm - for classes that set a margin of 5px
• md - for classes that set a margin of 15px
• lg - for classes that set a margin of 30px
• xl - for classes that set a margin of 50px

Working examples

No margin (top, bottom, left, and right)

Small margin (top, bottom, left, and right)

Medium margin (top, bottom, left, and right)

Extra large margin (top, bottom, left, and right)

Code sample

<p class="bg-primary mrgn-tp-0 mrgn-rght-0 mrgn-bttm-0 mrgn-lft-0">No margin (top, bottom, left, and right)</p>

<p class="bg-primary mrgn-tp-md mrgn-rght-md mrgn-bttm-md mrgn-lft-md">Medium margin (top, bottom, left, and right)</p>
<p class="bg-primary mrgn-tp-lg mrgn-rght-lg mrgn-bttm-lg mrgn-lft-lg">Large margin (top, bottom, left, and right)</p>
<p class="bg-primary mrgn-tp-xl mrgn-rght-xl mrgn-bttm-xl mrgn-lft-xl">Extra large margin (top, bottom, left, and right)</p>
