Day 3: Bootstrap 4 Flex Tutorial and Examples

Hey and welcome to the third day of Bootstrap 4 ☺️ Today we will learn about the Bootstrap 4 Flex. Flexbox is a new layout mode in CSS3. It describes ways to align and size elements. Understanding how the Bootstrap 4 flex works will help you align elements horizontally and vertically (to the left, center and right), size them according to their parent and tell them how to fill a row.

Bootstrap 4 has created classes around the CSS3 properties so you can use them with ease. Today we will go through them and create example scenarios. Aligning and sizing elements are crucial parts of front-end development. It is important to get them right before starting with the Bootstrap 4 elements and components.

Useful Bootstrap 4 Select Picker Options for Your Forms

If you are just starting to learn Bootstrap, we have created a series of tutorials called 14 Days of Bootstrap 4 that can help you.

This way you will be sure that if you want to need new functionalities for your select picker, you will not have to write them yourself. In this article we will go through the most popular option and what are the pros and cons to using it. We will also show how to integrate and use the Bootstrap select picker with examples.
