Bootstrap 3 offset on right not left

Twitter Bootstrap-3

Twitter Bootstrap-3 Problem Overview


In regards to BS 3 if I wanted just a narrow column of content on the right I might use an offset class of 9 and a column of 3.

However, what if I wanted the reverse and on the left side? Is there a proper way to do this in BS or should I just use my own CSS methods? I was thinking of creating a column of 3 with my content and just an empty column of 9.

Solution 1 - Twitter Bootstrap-3

Bootstrap rows always contain their floats and create new lines. You don't need to worry about filling blank columns, just make sure they don't add up to more than 12.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-9">
      I'm a right column of 3
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      I'm a left column of 3
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-body">
      And I'm some content below both columns
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I'm using the following simple custom CSS I wrote to achieve this.

.col-xs-offset-right-12 {
  margin-right: 100%;
}
.col-xs-offset-right-11 {
  margin-right: 91.66666667%;

</div>
</div>

Solution 4 - Twitter Bootstrap-3

I modified Bootstrap SASS (v3.3.5) based on Rukshan's answer

Add this in the end of the calc-grid-column mixin in mixins/_grid-framework.scss, right below the $type == offset if condition.

@if ($type == offset-right) {
      .col-#{$class}-offset-right-#{$index} {
          margin-right: percentage(($index / $grid-columns));
      }
  }

Modify the make-grid mixin in mixins/_grid-framework.scss to generate the offset-right classes.

// Create grid for specific class
@mixin make-grid($class) {
@include float-grid-columns($class);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, width);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, pull);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, push);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, offset);
@include loop-grid-columns($grid-columns, $class, offset-right);
}

You can then use the classes like col-sm-offset-right-2 and col-md-offset-right-1

Solution 6 - Twitter Bootstrap-3

You need to combine multiple classes (col-*-offset-* for left-margin and col-*-pull-* to pull it right)

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-9">
      I'm a right column
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      We're
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      four columns
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      using the
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      whole row
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-9 col-xs-pull-9">
      I'm a left column
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      We're
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      four columns
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      using the
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      whole row
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

So you don't need to separate it manually into different rows.

Solution 7 - Twitter Bootstrap-3

Based on WeNeigh's answer! here is a LESS example

.col-offset-right(@i, @type) when (@i >= 0) {
	.col-@{type}-offset-right-@{i} {
		margin-right: percentage((@i / @grid-columns));
	}
	.col-offset-right(@i - 1, @type);
};
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, xs);
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, sm);
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, md);
.col-offset-right(@grid-columns, lg);

Solution 8 - Twitter Bootstrap-3

Here is the same solution than Rukshan but in sass (in order to keep your grid configuration) for special case that don't work with Ross Allen solution (when you can't have a parent div.row)

@mixin make-grid-offset-right($class) {
    @for $index from 0 through $grid-columns {
        .col-#{$class}-offset-right-#{$index} {
            margin-right: percentage(($index / $grid-columns));
        }
    }
}

@include make-grid-offset-right(xs);

@media (min-width: $screen-sm-min) {
  @include make-grid-offset-right(sm);
}

@media (min-width: $screen-md-min) {
  @include make-grid-offset-right(md);
}

@media (min-width: $screen-lg-min) {
  @include make-grid-offset-right(lg);
}

Solution 10 - Twitter Bootstrap-3

Bootstrap 5 SASS solution:

@mixin make-col-offset-end($size, $columns: $grid-columns) {
  $num: divide($size, $columns);
  margin-right: if($num == 0, 0, percentage($num));
}

@mixin make-grid-offset-end($columns: $grid-columns, $gutter: $grid-gutter-width, $breakpoints: $grid-breakpoints) {
  @each $breakpoint in map-keys($breakpoints) {
    $infix: breakpoint-infix($breakpoint, $breakpoints);

    @include media-breakpoint-up($breakpoint, $breakpoints) {
      @if $columns > 0 {
        // `$columns - 1` because offsetting by the width of an entire row isn't possible
        @for $i from 0 through ($columns - 1) {
          @if not ($infix == "" and $i == 0) { // Avoid emitting useless .offset-0
            .offset-end#{$infix}-#{$i} {
              @include make-col-offset-end($i, $columns);
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

@include make-grid-offset-end();

This will give you all of the classes offset already has, but with offset-end (e.g. offset-end-md-2)
