Clearfix

Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element. A detailed explanation of how the clearfix works is available.

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

Can also be used as a mixin.

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

// Usage as a mixin
.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, as shown in the second part of the example.

<!-- With .clearfix -->
<div class="bg-info clearfix">
  <button type="button" class="btn float-start">Button floated to start</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn float-end">Button floated to end</button>
</div>

<!-- Without .clearfix -->
<div class="bg-info">
  <button type="button" class="btn float-start">Button floated to start</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn float-end">Button floated to end</button>
</div>
