Angular Bootstrap Media queries

Angular Media queries - Bootstrap 4 & Material Design

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.
Go to docs v.5

Since Bootstrap is developed to be mobile first, we use a handful of media queries to create sensible breakpoints for our layouts and interfaces. These breakpoints are mostly based on minimum viewport widths and allow us to scale up elements as the viewport changes.

Bootstrap primarily uses the following media query ranges—or breakpoints—in our source Sass files for our layout, grid system, and components.

Media queries as responsive breakpoints

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          // Extra small devices (portrait phones, less than 576px)
          // No media query since this is the default in Bootstrap

          // Small devices (landscape phones, 576px and up)
          @media (min-width: 576px) { ... }

          // Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up)
          @media (min-width: 768px) { ... }

          // Large devices (desktops, 992px and up)
          @media (min-width: 992px) { ... }

          // Extra large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up)
          @media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

Media queries available via Sass mixins

Since we write our source CSS in Sass, all our media queries are available via Sass mixins:

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          @include media-breakpoint-up(xs) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-up(sm) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-up(md) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-up(lg) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-up(xl) { ... }

          // Example usage:
          // Add the sass imports before using the media query mixins
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/colors';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables-pro';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/functions';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/mixins';

          @include media-breakpoint-up(sm) {
            .some-class {
              display: block;
            }
          }

Other direction of responsive breakpoints

We occasionally use media queries that go in the other direction (the given screen size or smaller):

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          // Extra small devices (portrait phones, less than 576px)
          @media (max-width: 575px) { ... }

          // Small devices (landscape phones, less than 768px)
          @media (max-width: 767px) { ... }

          // Medium devices (tablets, less than 992px)
          @media (max-width: 991px) { ... }

          // Large devices (desktops, less than 1200px)
          @media (max-width: 1199px) { ... }

          // Extra large devices (large desktops)
          // No media query since the extra-large breakpoint has no upper bound on its width

Media queries Sass mixins example

Once again, these media queries are also available via Sass mixins:

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/colors';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables-pro';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/functions';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/mixins';

          @include media-breakpoint-down(xs) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-down(sm) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-down(md) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-down(lg) { ... }

Minimal and maximum media queries

There are also media queries and mixins for targeting a single segment of screen sizes using the minimum and maximum breakpoint widths.

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          // Extra small devices (portrait phones, less than 576px)
          @media (max-width: 575px) { ... }

          // Small devices (landscape phones, 576px and up)
          @media (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767px) { ... }

          // Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up)
          @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px) { ... }

          // Large devices (desktops, 992px and up)
          @media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199px) { ... }

          // Extra large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up)
          @media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

Minimal - maximum media queries Sass mixins

These media queries are also available via Sass mixins:

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/colors';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables-pro';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/functions';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/mixins';

          @include media-breakpoint-only(xs) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-only(sm) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-only(md) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-only(lg) { ... }
          @include media-breakpoint-only(xl) { ... }

Media queries multiple breakpoints widths

Similarly, media queries may span multiple breakpoint widths:

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          // Example
          // Apply styles starting from medium devices and up to extra large devices
          @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1199px) { ... }

The Sass mixin for targeting the same screen size range would be:

Show code

SCSS

        
            
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/colors';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/variables-pro';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/functions';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/bootstrap/variables';
          @import '~ng-uikit-pro-standard/assets/scss/core/mixins';

          @include media-breakpoint-between(md, xl) { ... }
