Stacks

Shorthand helpers that build on top of our flexbox utilities to make component layout faster and easier than ever.

Stacks offer a shortcut for applying a number of flexbox properties to quickly and easily create layouts in Bootstrap.

Vertical

Use vstack attribute to create vertical layouts. Stacked items are full-width by default. Use gap attribute to add space between items.

First item
Second item
Third item
vue
<template>
 <b-div
  vstack
  gap="3"
 >
  <b-div padding="3">
   First item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Second item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Third item
  </b-div>
 </b-div>
</template>

Horizontal

Use hstack for horizontal layouts. Stacked items are vertically centered by default and only take up their necessary width. Use gap attribute to add space between items.

First item
Second item
Third item
vue
<template>
 <b-div
  hstack
  gap="3"
 >
  <b-div padding="3">
   First item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Second item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Third item
  </b-div>
 </b-div>
</template>

Using horizontal margin utilities like margin="s-auto" as spacers:

First item
Second item
Third item
vue
<template>
 <b-div
  hstack
  gap="3"
 >
  <b-div padding="3">
   First item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Second item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Third item
  </b-div>
 </b-div>
</template>

And with vertical rules:

First item
Second item
Third item
vue
<template>
 <b-div
  hstack
  gap="3"
 >
  <b-div padding="3">
   First item
  </b-div>
  <b-div padding="3">
   Second item
  </b-div>
  <Vr />
  <b-div padding="3">
   Third item
  </b-div>
 </b-div>
</template>

Examples

Use vstack to stack buttons and other elements:

vue
<template>
 <b-div
  vstack
  gap="2"
  margin="x-auto"
 >
  <b-button color="secondary">
   Save changes
  </b-button>
  <b-button color="outline-secondary">
   Cancel
  </b-button>
 </b-div>
</template>

Create an inline form with hstack:

vue
<template>
 <b-div
  hstack
  gap="3"
  margin="x-auto"
 >
  <b-input
   margin="e-auto"
   type="text"
   placeholder="Add your item here..."
   aria-label="Add your item here..."
  />
  <b-button color="secondary">
   Submit
  </b-button>
  <Vr />
  <b-button color="outline-danger">
   Reset
  </b-button>
 </b-div>
</template>
