Bootstrap Grid - Large Devices


Bootstrap Grid Example: Large Devices

In the previous chapter, we presented a grid example with classes for small and medium devices. We used two divs (columns) and we gave them a 25%/75% split on small devices, and a 50%/50% split on medium devices:

<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">....</div>

But on large devices the design may be better as a 33%/66% split.

Tip: Large devices are defined as having a screen width from 1200 pixels and above.

For large devices we will use the .col-lg-* classes.

So now we will add the column widths for large devices:

<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8">....</div>

Now Bootstrap is going to say "at the small size, look at classes with -sm- in them and use those. At the medium size, look at classes with -md- in them and use those. At the large size, look at classes with the word -lg- in them and use those".

The following example will result in a 25%/75% split on small devices, a 50%/50% split on medium devices, and a 33%/66% split on large devices:

Example

<div class="container-fluid">
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4" style="background-color:lavender;">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
      incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
      <p> Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut
      aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8" style="background-color:lavenderblush;">
      <p>Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium
      doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore
      veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
