Image Properties
Section titled “Image Properties”| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Sets this element’s unique page identifier. Use a stable name such as projectSummary when another control, label or anchor must target it. Do not duplicate a static ID inside repeated markup; a component binding name and a form field’s submitted Name serve different purposes. |
| Class | Edits the element’s space-separated CSS class list. For example, add a project-defined class such as project-summary only when your stylesheet defines it. Preserve classes required by the component. A class name alone does not create CSS, load an extension or implement an event handler. |
| Src | Image source URL. Sets the image src attribute. Use relative paths for local assets and absolute URLs for remote images. For responsive images, consider using srcset and sizes when available. Bootstrap docs: Images Default: "". Attribute: src. |
| Width | Sets image width attribute. Sets the HTML width attribute for the image. Prefer Bootstrap sizing utilities for responsive layouts. Use attributes mainly to help browsers reserve layout space. Bootstrap docs: Sizing Default: "". Attribute: width. |
| Height | Sets image height attribute. Sets the HTML height attribute for the image. Prefer Bootstrap sizing utilities for responsive layouts. Use attributes mainly to help browsers reserve layout space. Bootstrap docs: Sizing Default: "". Attribute: height. |
| Alt | Alternative text. Sets the alt attribute for accessibility. Provide a meaningful description when the image conveys information; use empty alt text for purely decorative images. Bootstrap docs: Images Default: "". Attribute: alt. |
| Loading | Controls lazy loading. Controls the browser image loading behavior. Sets loading (for example lazy ) to defer offscreen image loading and improve initial page load time. Bootstrap docs: Images Options: Eager, Lazy (lazy) Default: "". Attribute: loading. |
Display
Section titled “Display”| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Responsive | Makes the image responsive. Makes the image responsive by applying img-fluid . This scales the image with its parent container, preventing overflow on smaller screens. Bootstrap docs: Responsive images Default: false. |
| Thumbnail | Adds thumbnail styling. Adds thumbnail styling using img-thumbnail . This gives the image a border and padding for a framed, thumbnail-like appearance. Bootstrap docs: Image thumbnails Default: false. |
| Rounding | Options: Default, All (rounded), Top (rounded-top), End (rounded-end), Bottom (rounded-bottom), Start (rounded-start), Circle (rounded-circle), None (rounded-0) Default: "". |
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Back Color | Sets the element’s background using Bootstrap theme utilities. bg-primary changes the background; text-bg-primary sets a primary background with a corresponding contrasting text color. For example, use text-bg-primary for a highlighted notice. Existing custom styles can override the utility. Options: Primary Contrast (text-bg-primary), Primary Background Only (bg-primary), Primary Subtle (bg-primary-subtle), Secondary Contrast (text-bg-secondary), Secondary Background Only (bg-secondary), Secondary Subtle (bg-secondary-subtle), Success Contrast (text-bg-success), Success Background Only (bg-success), Success Subtle (bg-success-subtle), Danger Contrast (text-bg-danger), Danger Background Only (bg-danger), Danger Subtle (bg-danger-subtle), Warning Contrast (text-bg-warning), Warning Background Only (bg-warning), Warning Subtle (bg-warning-subtle), Info Contrast (text-bg-info), Info Background Only (bg-info), Info Subtle (bg-info-subtle), Light Contrast (text-bg-light), Light Background Only (bg-light), Light Subtle (bg-light-subtle), Dark Contrast (text-bg-dark), Dark Background Only (bg-dark), Dark Subtle (bg-dark-subtle), Body (bg-body), Body Secondary (bg-body-secondary), Body Tertiary (bg-body-tertiary), White (bg-white), Transparent (bg-transparent). Default: no override from this control. |
| Back Opacity | Changes the opacity of a background color that uses --bs-bg-opacity. For example, bg-primary with bg-opacity-25 gives a 25% primary background while leaving text opaque. It does not fade a background image and is separate from the whole-element Opacity control. Options: Default, 10% (bg-opacity-10), 25% (bg-opacity-25), 50% (bg-opacity-50), 75% (bg-opacity-75), 100% (bg-opacity-100). Default: no override from this control. |
| Width | Sets a width utility relative to the containing block. For example, w-50 requests 50% of the parent’s width, while w-auto lets normal layout determine the width. This is different from a grid column span and from viewport width. Options: Auto (w-auto), 25% (w-25), 50% (w-50), 75% (w-75), 100% (w-100), Max 100% (mw-100). Default: no override from this control. |
| Height | Sets a height utility relative to the containing block. For example, h-100 requests the parent’s full height, which needs a resolvable parent height to have the intended effect. Use auto when the content should determine height. Options: Auto (h-auto), 25% (h-25), 50% (h-50), 75% (h-75), 100% (h-100), Max 100% (mh-100). Default: no override from this control. |
| Opacity | Fades the whole rendered element, including its text, background and descendants. For example, opacity-50 makes the entire card half opaque. Opacity zero still leaves layout space and does not by itself disable clicks or remove content from assistive technologies. Options: Default, 0% (opacity-0), 25% (opacity-25), 50% (opacity-50), 75% (opacity-75), 100% (opacity-100). Default: no override from this control. |
| Shadow | Applies or removes a Bootstrap box shadow. For example, shadow-sm gives a card the theme’s small shadow and shadow-none removes this utility’s shadow. The shadow does not allocate extra layout space; its appearance comes from the active theme variables. Options: Default, None (shadow-none), Small (shadow-sm), Regular (shadow), Large (shadow-lg). Default: no override from this control. |
| Object Fit | Controls how replaced content such as an image fits an explicitly sized box. object-fit-cover fills the box and may crop the image; object-fit-contain keeps the whole image visible and may leave space. It does not size the box or control CSS background images. Options: Default, Contain (object-fit-contain), Cover (object-fit-cover), Fill (object-fit-fill), Scale Down (object-fit-scale), None (object-fit-none). Default: no override from this control. |
| Viewport Size | Applies viewport-relative sizing utilities. For example, vh-100 requests the full viewport height, whereas min-vh-100 allows a section to grow taller than the viewport when its content requires it. These sizes are relative to the viewport, not the parent. Options: Default, Width 100vw (vw-100), Min-Width 100vw (min-vw-100), Height 100vh (vh-100), Min-Height 100vh (min-vh-100). Default: no override from this control. |
| Placeholder | Applies Bootstrap placeholder styling for a loading skeleton. The placeholder class supplies the visual block, and placeholder-glow or placeholder-wave adds the corresponding effect where supported. For example, use a placeholder span while a title loads. This styling does not fetch data or automatically replace itself with the loaded content. Options: None, This Element (placeholder), Container Glow (placeholder-glow), Container Wave (placeholder-wave). Default: no override from this control. |
Spacing
Section titled “Spacing”| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Margin and Padding | Sets outer margin and inner padding utilities for the selected viewport breakpoint. For example, at MD, bottom margin 3 becomes mb-md-3; without a breakpoint, p-3 adds padding on every side. Start/End follow writing direction. The spacing scale comes from the project theme. Negative margin classes require a stylesheet built with negative-margin utilities enabled; the bundled default disables them. Options: mt-0, mt-1, mt-2, mt-3, mt-4, mt-5, mt-n1, mt-n2, mt-n3, mt-n4, mt-n5, mt-auto, mb-0, mb-1, mb-2, mb-3, mb-4, mb-5, mb-n1, mb-n2, mb-n3, mb-n4, mb-n5, mb-auto, ms-0, ms-1, ms-2, ms-3, ms-4, ms-5, ms-n1, ms-n2, ms-n3, ms-n4, ms-n5, ms-auto, me-0, me-1, me-2, me-3, me-4, me-5, me-n1, me-n2, me-n3, me-n4, me-n5, me-auto, mx-0, mx-1, mx-2, mx-3, mx-4, mx-5, mx-n1, mx-n2, mx-n3, mx-n4, mx-n5, mx-auto, my-0, my-1, my-2, my-3, my-4, my-5, my-n1, my-n2, my-n3, my-n4, my-n5, my-auto, m-0, m-1, m-2, m-3, m-4, m-5, m-n1, m-n2, m-n3, m-n4, m-n5, m-auto, pt-0, pt-1, pt-2, pt-3, pt-4, pt-5, pb-0, pb-1, pb-2, pb-3, pb-4, pb-5, ps-0, ps-1, ps-2, ps-3, ps-4, ps-5, pe-0, pe-1, pe-2, pe-3, pe-4, pe-5, px-0, px-1, px-2, px-3, px-4, px-5, py-0, py-1, py-2, py-3, py-4, py-5, p-0, p-1, p-2, p-3, p-4, p-5. |
| X Gutter | Sets the horizontal Bootstrap row gutter through a gx-* utility. For example, gx-3 changes the spacing between columns when applied to a Bootstrap row. It works through the row and column gutter rules; adding it to an unrelated element does not create a column layout. Options: 0 (gx-0), 1 (gx-1), 2 (gx-2), 3 (gx-3), 4 (gx-4), 5 (gx-5). Default: no override from this control. |
| Y Gutter | Sets the vertical Bootstrap row gutter through a gy-* utility. For example, gy-3 adds space between wrapped rows of columns. It does not replace padding inside a card or change the spacing of a non-grid element by itself. Options: 0 (gy-0), 1 (gy-1), 2 (gy-2), 3 (gy-3), 4 (gy-4), 5 (gy-5). Default: no override from this control. |
Display
Section titled “Display”| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Hide on | Options: Hide on mobile (xs), Hide on landscape mobile (sm), Hide on tablet (md), Hide on laptop (lg), Hide on desktop (xl), Hide on extra wide (xxl) |
| Options: Show (d-print-block), Hide (d-print-none) | |
| Visually Hidden | Default: false. |
| Focusable | Default: false. |
Flex Item
Section titled “Flex Item”| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Align Self | Overrides cross-axis alignment for this item within a flex container. For example, align-self-center centers a button vertically in a horizontal flex row. It requires a flex parent and is different from text alignment inside the button. Options: Start (align-self-start), Center (align-self-center), End (align-self-end), Stretch (align-self-stretch), Baseline (align-self-baseline). |
| Order | Changes visual ordering within a flex or grid layout without moving the element in the source. For example, order-first places an item before siblings with normal order. Keyboard and reading order still follow the document. Use supported classes: the bundled Bootstrap order scale contains 0–5 plus first/last; higher choices offered by an inspector need matching custom utilities. Options: First (first), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Last (last), D. Default: no override from this control. |
| Grow | Controls whether the item can consume free space along its flex parent’s main axis. flex-grow-1 allows growth; flex-grow-0 prevents it. For example, let a search field grow while its adjacent submit button keeps its content width. Growth does not guarantee equal widths when items have different bases. Options: Full (flex-grow-1), None (flex-grow-0). Default: no override from this control. |
| Shrink | Controls whether the item can shrink when its flex row lacks space. flex-shrink-0 preserves its basis and can cause overflow; flex-shrink-1 allows shrinking. For example, prevent a small icon from being squeezed while allowing the label beside it to shrink. Options: Full (flex-shrink-1), None (flex-shrink-0). Default: no override from this control. |
