How to get a responsive button in bootstrap 3

Question

I am using bootstrap 3 and I have the following html    lt div class  col-sm-2   gt       lt a id  new-board-btn  class  btn btn-success   gt Create New Board lt  a gt   lt  div gt    On a small screen  the text  Create New Board  is too long to fit on the button   I would like the text to wrap on to another line and the height of the button to increase to fit the text   Any tips on how to do this

For anyone who may be interested  another approach is using  media queries to scale the buttons on different viewport widths    Demo  http   bootply com 93706

In some cases it s very useful to change font-size with relative font sizing units  For example    btn  font-size  3vw     Demo  http   www bootply com 7VN5OCVhhF  1vw is 1  of the viewport width  More info  http   www sitepoint com new-css3-relative-font-size

In Bootstrap  the  btn class has a white-space  nowrap  property  making it so that the button text won t wrap  So  after setting that to normal  and giving the button a width  the text should wrap to the next line if the text would exceed the set width    new-board-btn       white-space  normal      http   jsfiddle net ADewB

I know this already has a marked answer  but I feel I have an improvement to it   The marked answer is a bit misleading  He set a width to the button  which is not necessary  and set widths are not  responsive   To his defense  he mentions in a comment below it  that the width is not necessary and just an example   One thing not mentioned here  is that the words may break in the middle of a word and look messed up   My solution  forces the break to happen between words  a nice word wrap    btn-responsive       white-space  normal  important      word-wrap  break-word      lt a href     class  btn btn-primary btn-responsive  gt Click Here lt  a gt
