I'm playing with Bootstrap 4 and I can't find a solution to add responsiveness to cards while in a div with class="card-columns" (this class applies a Masonry-like effect to the cards inside the div having this class).
In Bootstrap 3 it was easy to style and make "cards" responsive since it was possible to apply something like class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12" to a div containing thumbnail, caption, etc.
How to have the same effect while using cards in Bootstrap 4?
Here is the HTML:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 hidden-sm-down" id="map_container">
<p>here we put the map</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8 col-sm-12 right_box">
<div class="row">
// here there's code for navbar
</div><!-- row -->
<div class=row">
<div class="card-columns">
<?php
// Create and check connection
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output card design
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo '<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="dance' . $row["id"] . '.jpg" alt="' . $row["name"] . '">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">' . $row["name"] . '</h4>
<p class="card-text">Text. Card content.</p>
</div>
<div class="card-footer text-muted">
<ul class="list-inline">
<li><i class="fa fa-user"></i></li>
<li>14</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div><!-- card -->';
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
</div><!-- container card-columns -->
</div><!-- row -->
</div><!-- col-md-8 right_box -->
</div><!-- row -->
</div><!-- container-fluid -->
</body>
And here is the CSS I've used:
#map_container {
background-image: url(map.png);
height: 100vh;
}
.right_box {
-webkit-box-shadow: -2px 0px 2px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
-moz-box-shadow: -2px 0px 2px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
box-shadow: -2px 0px 2px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
}
.card {
border-radius: 0 !important;
border: 0 none;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
}
.card-img-top {
width: 100%;
border-radius: 0 !important;
}
.card-columns {
padding-top: 15px;
}
Given below are two images to make my situation clearer:
I'd like cards to stack up vertically on smaller screens.
Thanks for your suggestions!
This question is related to

bootstrap-4
The answer is
Bootstrap 4 (4.0.0-alpha.2) uses the css property column-count in the card-columns class to define how many columns of cards would be displayed inside the div element.
But this property has only two values:
- The default value 1 for small screens (
max-width: 34em) - The value 3 for all other sizes (
min-width: 34em)
Here's how it is implemented in bootstrap.min.css :
@media (min-width: 34em) {
.card-columns {
-webkit-column-count:3;
-moz-column-count:3;
column-count:3;
?
}
?
}
To make the card stacking responsive, you can add the following media queries to your css file and modify the values for min-width as per your requirements :
@media (min-width: 34em) {
.card-columns {
-webkit-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-count: 2;
column-count: 2;
}
}
@media (min-width: 48em) {
.card-columns {
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-count: 3;
column-count: 3;
}
}
@media (min-width: 62em) {
.card-columns {
-webkit-column-count: 4;
-moz-column-count: 4;
column-count: 4;
}
}
@media (min-width: 75em) {
.card-columns {
-webkit-column-count: 5;
-moz-column-count: 5;
column-count: 5;
}
}
If you are using Sass:
$card-column-sizes: (
xs: 2,
sm: 3,
md: 4,
lg: 5,
);
@each $breakpoint-size, $column-count in $card-column-sizes {
@include media-breakpoint-up($breakpoint-size) {
.card-columns {
column-count: $column-count;
column-gap: 1.25rem;
.card {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%; // Don't let them exceed the column width
}
}
}
}
I have created a Cards Layout - 3 cards in a row using Bootstrap 4 / CSS3 (of course its responsive). The following example uses basic Bootstrap 4 classes such as container, row, col-x, list-group and list-group-item. Thought to share here if someone is interested in this sort of a layout.

</div>
</div>

</div>
CSS / SCSS
$primary-color: #ccc;
$col-bg-color: #eee;
$col-footer-bg-color: #eee;
$col-header-bg-color: #007bff;
$col-content-bg-color: #fff;
body {
background-color: $primary-color;
}
.custom-column {
background-color: $col-bg-color;
border: 5px solid $col-bg-color;
padding: 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.custom-column-header {
font-size: 24px;
background-color: #007bff;

padding: 15px;
text-align: center;
}
.custom-column-content {
background-color: $col-content-bg-color;
border: 2px solid white;
padding: 20px;
}
.custom-column-footer {
background-color: $col-footer-bg-color;
padding-top: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
Another late answer, but I was playing with this and came up with a general purpose Sass solution that I found useful and many others might as well. To give an overview, this introduces new classes that can modify the column count of a .card-columns element in very similar ways to columns with .col-4 or .col-lg-3:
@import "bootstrap";
$card-column-counts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5;
.card-columns {
@each $column-count in $card-column-counts {
&.card-columns-#{$column-count} {
column-count: $column-count;
}
}
@each $breakpoint in map-keys($grid-breakpoints) {
@include media-breakpoint-up($breakpoint) {
$infix: breakpoint-infix($breakpoint, $grid-breakpoints);
@each $column-count in $card-column-counts {
&.card-columns#{$infix}-#{$column-count} {
column-count: $column-count;
}
}
}
}
}
The end result of this is if you have the following:
<div class="card-columns card-columns-2 card-columns-md-3 card-columns-xl-4">
...
</div>
Then you would have 2 columns by default, 3 for medium devices and up and 4 for xl devices and up. Additionally if you change your grid breakpoints this will automatically support those, and the $card-column-counts can be overridden to change the allowed numbers of columns.
I realize this question was posted a while ago; nonetheless, Bootstrap v4.0 has card layout support out of the box. You can find the documentation here: Bootstrap Card Layouts.
I've gotten back into using Bootstrap for a recent project that relies heavily on the card layout UI. I've found success with the following implementation across the standard breakpoints:

</div>After trying both the Bootstrap .card-group and .card-deck card layout classes with quirky results at best across the standard breakpoints, I finally decided to give the .card-columns class a shot. And it worked!
Your results may vary, but .card-columns seems to be the most stable implementation here.
Update 2019 - Bootstrap 4
You can simply use the SASS mixin to change the number of cards across in each breakpoint / grid tier.
.card-columns {
@include media-breakpoint-only(xl) {
column-count: 5;
}
@include media-breakpoint-only(lg) {
column-count: 4;
}
@include media-breakpoint-only(md) {
column-count: 3;
}
@include media-breakpoint-only(sm) {
column-count: 2;
}
}

Or, CSS only like this...
@media (min-width: 576px) {
.card-columns {
column-count: 2;
}
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.card-columns {
column-count: 3;
}
}
@media (min-width: 992px) {
.card-columns {
column-count: 4;
}
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.card-columns {
column-count: 5;
}
}
