What Is the Difference between .conatiner and .container-fluid in bootstrap???
Quick version:
.container
has one fixed width for each screen size in bootstrap (xs,sm,md,lg); .container-fluid
expands to fill the available width.
The difference between
container
and container-fluid
comes from these lines of CSS:@media (min-width: 568px) {
.container {
width: 550px;
}
}
@media (min-width: 992px) {
.container {
width: 970px;
}
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.container {
width: 1170px;
}
}
Depending on the width of the viewport that the webpage is being viewed on, the
container
class gives its div a specific fixed width. These lines don't exist in any form for container-fluid
, so its width changes every time the viewport width changes.
So for example, say your browser window is 1000px wide. As it's greater than the min-width of 992px, your
.container
element will have a width of 970px. You then slowly widen your browser window. The width of your .container
won't change until you get to 1200px, at which it will jump to 1170px wide and stay that way for any larger browser widths.
Your
.container-fluid
element, on the other hand, will constantly resize as you make even the smallest changes to your browser width.
