Exploring the Behavior of Row Inside Card in Bootstrap 4 Alpha 6

In my usage of bootstrap 4 alpha 6, I encountered an unexpected issue while incorporating a grid within the body of a card without the card-block class.

<div class="container">
    <h5>
    The fundamental component of a card is the .card-block class. It should be utilized whenever a padded section is required within a card.
    </h5>
    <h4>

I want to avoid using padding for the body of my card

The building block of a card is the .card-block class. Employ it when a padded section within a card is required.

However, the grid is extending beyond the body of the card.
Is this the expected behavior or is it a bug that needs to be resolved?

Thank you

Answer №1

When working with grid systems, it is important to understand the behavior and structure of the elements involved. The .row class, for example, has a negative margin to offset the padding of grid columns. This ensures that the leftmost and rightmost columns align properly with the edges of the viewport or the container of the .row. Even with the negative margin, the content within each grid column remains within its designated space due to the padding applied to each column.

In a typical setup, the .row is nested within a .container or .container-fluid which provides padding to counteract the negative margin. While the .card-block class does have padding, it may not align perfectly with the card's grid content due to a difference in padding values.

There are alternative approaches that can be taken to achieve the desired layout within the card. One method is to use a .container-fluid within the card to ensure that the grid columns align correctly with the card's edges...

<div class="card">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-2">
                    ..
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-2">
                    ..
                </div>
                ..
             </div>
        </div> 
</div>

Another option is to utilize a gutterless row (.no-gutters) which removes the negative margin and padding from the columns. This allows the content within each column to span the full width of the column.

<div class="card">
        <div class="row no-gutters">
                <div class="col-md-2">
                    ..
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-2">
                    ..
                </div>
                ..
        </div>
</div>
