[twitter-bootstrap] Left align and right align within div in Bootstrap

What are some of the common ways to left align some text and right align some other text within a div container in bootstrap?

e.g.

Total cost                   $42

Above total cost should be left aligned text and $42 is right aligned text

This question is related to twitter-bootstrap user-interface bootstrap-4

The answer is


We can achieve by Bootstrap 4 Flexbox:

<div class="d-flex justify-content-between w-100">
<p>TotalCost</p> <p>$42</p>
</div>

d-flex // Display Flex
justify-content-between // justify-content:space-between
w-100 // width:100%

Example: JSFiddle


Bootstrap v4 introduces flexbox support

<div class="d-flex justify-content-end">
  <div class="mr-auto p-2">Flex item</div>
  <div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
  <div class="p-2">Flex item</div>
</div>

A whole column can accommodate 12, 6 (col-sm-6) is exactly half, and in this half, one to the left(float-start) and one to the right(float-end).

In Bootstrap 4 the correct answer is to use the text-xs-right class.

This works because xs denotes the smallest viewport size in BS. If you wanted to, you could apply the alignment only when the viewport is medium or larger by using text-md-right.

In the latest alpha, text-xs-right has been simplified to text-right.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">Total cost</div>
    <div class="col-md-6 text-right">$42</div>
</div>

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">Total cost</div>
  <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4"></div>
  <div class="clearfix visible-xs-block"></div>
  <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">$42</div>
</div>

That should do the job just ok


Instead of using pull-right class, it is better to use text-right class in the column, because pull-right creates problems sometimes while resizing the page.
