Bootstrap, pull-left for small devices

Question

I\'m building a site in Bootstrap 3. Is there anyway to make a element use the class pull-left on smaller devices and use pull-right on larger ones?

Something like:

Answer 1

Yes. Create your own style. I don’t know what element you’re trying to float left/right, but create an application.css file and create a CSS class for it:

/* default, mobile-first styles */
.logo {
    float: left;
}

/* tablets and upwards */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .logo {
        float: right;
    }
}

Don’t be afraid to write custom CSS. Bootstrap is meant to be exactly that: a bootstrap, a starter point.

Answer 2

Just add this to your SASS file:

@media (max-width: $screen-xs-max) {
    .pull-xs-left {
        float: left;
    }
    .pull-xs-right {
        float: right;
    }
}

@media (min-width: $screen-sm-min) and (max-width: $screen-sm-max) {
    .pull-sm-left {
        float: left;
    }
    .pull-sm-right {
        float: right;
    }
}

@media (min-width: $screen-md-min) and (max-width: $screen-md-max) {
    .pull-md-left {
        float: left;
    }
    .pull-md-right {
        float: right;
    }
}

@media (min-width: $screen-lg-min) {
    .pull-lg-left {
        float: left;
    }
    .pull-lg-right {
        float: right;
    }
}

Insert actual px values for $screen-* if you use plain CSS of course.

HTML:

<div class="pull-md-left pull-lg-left">
    this div is only floated on screen-md and screen-lg
</div>

LESS version of @Alex's answer

@media (max-width: @screen-xs-max) {
    .pull-xs-left {
        .pull-left();
    }

    .pull-xs-right {
        .pull-right();
    }
}

@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) and (max-width: @screen-sm-max) {
    .pull-sm-left {
        .pull-left();
    }

    .pull-sm-right {
        .pull-right();
    }
}

@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) and (max-width: @screen-md-max) {
    .pull-md-left {
        .pull-left();
    }

    .pull-md-right {
        .pull-right();
    }
}

@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) {
    .pull-lg-left {
        .pull-left();
    }

    .pull-lg-right {
        .pull-right();
    }
}

Answer 4

Possibly you can use column ordering.

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-9 col-md-push-3">.col-md-9 .col-md-push-3</div>
  <div class="col-md-3 col-md-pull-9">.col-md-3 .col-md-pull-9</div>
</div>

Looks like floating columns will be getting added to version 4 by like @Alex has done - https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/13690

Answer 5

There is no need to create your own class with media queries. Bootstrap 3 already has float ordering for media breakpoints under Column Ordering.

The syntax for the class is col-<#grid-size>-(push|pull)-<#cols> where <#grid-size> is xs, sm, md or lg and <#cols> is how far you want the column to move for that grid size. Push or pull is left or right of course.

I use it all the time so I know it works well.

Answer 6

This is what i am using . change @screen-xs-max for other sizes

/* Pull left in mobile resolutions */
@media (max-width: @screen-xs-max) {
    .pull-xs-right {
        float: right !important;
    }
    .pull-xs-left {
        float: left !important;
    }

    .radio-inline.pull-xs-left  + .radio-inline.pull-xs-left ,
    .checkbox-inline.pull-xs-left  + .checkbox-inline.pull-xs-left  {
        margin-left: 0;
    }
    .radio-inline.pull-xs-left, .checkbox-inline.pull-xs-left{
        margin-right: 10px;
    }
}
