bootstrap 4 animate column width change


I have two columns like this:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-9"></div>
        <div class="col-3"></div>
    </div>
</div>

I am switching the classnames via angular to be col-8 offset-2 and col-0 . col-0 is width:0;margin:0;padding:0.

I am wondering how to animate both the width, and the positions of columns.


Solution

  • Since Bootstrap 4 uses flexbox, CSS transition animations don't work unless you use set a numeric flex-grow or flex-shrink on the columns.

    .col-8 {
      flex-grow: 1;
      transition: all 400ms ease;
    }
    
    .col-0 {
      width: 0; 
      flex-shrink: 1;
      transition: all 400ms ease;
    }

    To animate the grid columns as they change the media query breakpoints (instead of toggle classes via jQuery), you can simply use a CSS transition on the grid columns.

    .row [class*='col-'] {
        transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
    }
