Position

Use these shorthand utilities for quickly configuring the position of an element.

Position values

Quick positioning classes are available, though they are not responsive.

<div class="position-static">...</div>
<div class="position-relative">...</div>
<div class="position-absolute">...</div>
<div class="position-fixed">...</div>
<div class="position-sticky">...</div>

Arrange elements

Arrange elements easily with the edge positioning utilities. The format is {property}-{position}.

Where property is one of:

  • top - for the vertical top position
  • start - for the horizontal left position (in LTR)
  • bottom - for the vertical bottom position
  • end - for the horizontal right position (in LTR)

Where position is one of:

  • 0 - for 0 edge position
  • 50 - for 50% edge position
  • 100 - for 100% edge position

(You can add more position values by adding entries to the $position-values Sass map variable.)

<div class="position-relative">
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-0"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 end-0"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-50"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute bottom-50 end-50"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute bottom-0 start-0"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute bottom-0 end-0"></div>
</div>
html

Center elements

In addition, you can also center the elements with the transform utility class .translate-middle.

This class applies the transformations translateX(-50%) and translateY(-50%) to the element which, in combination with the edge positioning utilities, allows you to absolute center an element.

<div class="position-relative">
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-0 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-50 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-100 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-0 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-50 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-100 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-100 start-0 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-100 start-50 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-100 start-100 translate-middle"></div>
</div>
html

By adding .translate-middle-x or .translate-middle-y classes, elements can be positioned only in horizontal or vertical direction.

<div class="position-relative">
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-0"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-50 translate-middle-x"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-0 end-0"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-0 translate-middle-y"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 start-50 translate-middle"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute top-50 end-0 translate-middle-y"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute bottom-0 start-0"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute bottom-0 start-50 translate-middle-x"></div>
  <div class="position-absolute bottom-0 end-0"></div>
</div>
