In Bootstrap 3, I can easily design responsive sensitive table. I can split columns into their grid system. More than that I can hide some column for small devices. Here is my example. The table has 13 columns. The first two columns have 25% width each, the rest columns will share the rest 50% width.
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<td class="col-xs-3">1</td>
<td class="col-xs-3">2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>7</td>
<td>8</td>
<td>9</td>
<td>10</td>
<td>11</td>
<td>12</td>
<td>13</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
Above code is not working in Bootstrap 4. You can see the column widths are not expected. I checked their release notes, it does not mention any breaking change of table layout.
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<td class="col-3">1</td>
<td class="col-3">2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>7</td>
<td>8</td>
<td>9</td>
<td>10</td>
<td>11</td>
<td>12</td>
<td>13</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
Now if I add style="width:25%"
for the first two columns, it will work. Now I want to figure out, whether my usage is wrong, or Bootstrap 4 is not possible to specify responsive column width. Any hints are highly appreciated.
Update #1
Regarding @CamiloTerevinto 's suggestion, col-xs-*
is now renamed to col-*
.
Update #2 I found some related discussions in their issue tracker:
- https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/21547
- https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/21913
A temporary workaround for this is to set the <tr class="row">
and then set the rest columns with col-1
. But as the author mentioned that you have to set the same classes in td
which is not very practical.
