Examples
Due to the widespread use of tables across third-party widgets like calendars and date pickers, we've designed our tables to be opt-in. Just add the base class .table
to any <table>
, then extend with custom styles or our various included modifier classes.
Using the most basic table markup, here's how .table
-based tables look in Bootstrap. All table styles are inherited in Bootstrap 4, meaning any nested tables will be styled in the same manner as the parent.
{% capture example %}
# | First | Last | Handle |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Mark | Otto | @mdo |
2 | Jacob | Thornton | @fat |
3 | Larry | the Bird |
You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .table-dark
.
{% capture example %}
# | First | Last | Handle |
---|---|---|---|

2 | Jacob | Thornton | @fat |

Table head options
Similar to tables and dark tables, use the modifier classes .thead-light
or .thead-dark
to make <thead>
s appear light or dark gray.

Striped rows
Use .table-striped
to add zebra-striping to any table row within the <tbody>
.

Bordered table
Add .table-bordered
for borders on all sides of the table and cells.

Add .table-borderless
for a table without borders.
{% capture example %}
# | First | Last | Handle |

.table-borderless
can also be used on dark tables.

Add .table-sm
to make tables more compact by cutting cell padding in half.

Contextual classes
Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.
{% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}
<tr class="table-{{ color.name }}">
<th scope="row">{{ color.name | capitalize }}</th>
<td>Cell</td>
<td>Cell</td>
</tr>{% endfor %}
</tbody>
Class | Heading | Heading |
---|---|---|
Active | Cell | Cell |
Default | Cell | Cell |
{% highlight html %}
... {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %} ...{% endfor %} ... {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %} ...{% endfor %} {% endhighlight %}Regular table background variants are not available with the dark table, however, you may use [text or background utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/utilities/colors/) to achieve similar styles.
# | Heading | Heading |

Create responsive tables by wrapping any .table
with .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}
, making the table scroll horizontally at each max-width
breakpoint of up to (but not including) 576px, 768px, 992px, and 1120px, respectively.
{% include callout-info-mediaqueries-breakpoints.md %}
Captions
A <caption>
functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it's about and decide if they want to read it.

Responsive tables
Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by wrapping a .table
with .table-responsive
. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by using .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}
.
{% capture callout %}
Vertical clipping/truncation
Responsive tables make use of overflow-y: hidden
, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.
{% endcapture %}
{% include callout.html content=callout type="warning" %}
Always responsive
Across every breakpoint, use .table-responsive
for horizontally scrolling tables.
# | Heading | Heading | Heading | Heading | Heading | Heading | Heading | Heading | Heading |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell |
2 | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell |
3 | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell | Cell |
{% highlight html %}
Breakpoint specific
Use .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}
as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.
These tables may appear broken until their responsive styles apply at specific viewport widths.
{% for bp in site.data.breakpoints %}{% unless bp.breakpoint == "xs" %}
