CSS Visibility

There are some CSS classes that you can use out of the box for common functionality.

Class NameDescription
disabledCursor is changed to notify a ‘disable’ and opacity is set to a lower value.
hiddenSet display to none. Compare with below - the class hidden means the element will not show and will not take up space in the layout.
invisibleSet visibility to hidden. Compare with above - the class invisible means the element will not show, but it will still take up space in the layout.
transparentBackground color is transparent.
dimmedApply dark transparent overlay on top of your element. Do not use on elements which already have :after pseudoelement.
light-dimmedApply white transparent overlay on top of your element. Do not use on elements which already have :after pseudoelement.
ellipsisTruncates text and shows ellipsis when not enough space available.
ellipsis-2-linesTruncates text and shows ellipsis when not enough space available on two lines (works only on Webkit browsers).
ellipsis-3-linesTruncates text and shows ellipsis when not enough space available on three lines (works only on Webkit browsers).
z-topPositions your element on top of any other component, but behind Popovers, Tooltips, Notifications.
z-maxPositions your element on top of any other component (including Drawer, Modals, Notifications, Layout header/footer, …)

First of all, let’s define what the breakpoints are:

Window SizeNameMin-width threshold in pixelsMax-width threshold in pixels
Extra Smallxs0px599.99px
Smallsm600px1023.99px
Mediummd1024px1439.99px
Largelg1440px1919.99px
Extra Largexl1920pxInfinity

Now on to the window width related CSS classes.

Class NameDescription
xsDisplay only on extra small windows
smDisplay only on small windows
mdDisplay only on medium-sized windows
lgDisplay only on large windows
xlDisplay only on extra large windows

You can also show some DOM element or component if it’s lower than one of the sizes. Same for greater than one of the sizes. Just attach lt- or gt- prefixes, which come from “lower than” and “greater than”. Example: lt-md (display on xs and sm only), lt-xl (display on xs, sm, md and lg windows only), gt-md (display on greater than medium windows: lg and xl).

TIP

You can combine the visibility classes with the inline class for inline-blocks.

Example: <span class="gt-sm inline">...</span>

TIP

If you want to e.g. show hide based on JavaScript properties, you can use the Screen Plugin.

Based on your needs, you might want to also check Platform Detection page to see how you can achieve the same effect using Javascript. This latter method allows you to not even render a DOM element or component. It is useful when the rendering process is expensive.
