Bootstrap - align button to the bottom of card

Question

I was peeking at one of the Bootstrap examples that use the card-deck and card classes (Pricing example). I wondered how one can fix the button alignment if one of the lists has fewer items than the others.

I would like all buttons to be vertically aligned (at the bottom of each card) but I couldn't figure out a way of doing this. I tried setting the .align-bottom class as well as wrapping the button in <div class="align-text-bottom">. I also tried several suggestions from this question about adding space however still no success (also the spacing should be variable such that it fills up the remaining space from the list).

Wrapping in <div class="card-footer bg-white"> didn't yield the desired result either as it doesn't align the button at the bottom of the card and it creates some kind of border around it.

Does anyone have an idea?

Edit: Here is a jsfiddle that resembles the problem.

Answer 1

You can use the following Bootstrap 4 modifier classes:

1. Add d-flex to .card-body
2. Add flex-column to .card-body
3. Add mt-auto to .btn nested in .card-body

Refer to this page for a full list of flexbox modifying classes for Bootstrap 4.

Answer 2

A similar question has been answered here.

Just add the align-self-end class to item to align at the bottom.

https://www.codeply.com/go/Fiorqv1Iz6

     <div class="card-body d-flex flex-column">
            <h1 class="card-title pricing-card-title">$15 <small class="text-muted">/ mo</small></h1>
            <ul class="list-unstyled mt-3 mb-4">
              <li>20 users included</li>
              <li>10 GB of storage</li>
            </ul>
            <button type="button" class="align-self-end btn btn-lg btn-block btn-primary" style="margin-top: auto;">Get started</button>
     </div>

By default, the card is display:flex, but the card-body is not. Because of this you need to add d-flex flex-column to the card-body. This will make the flexbox alignment classes work.

Another option is to use mt-auto (auto top margin) on the button which will push it to the bottom of the Card.

Answer 3

Add a Footer to the Card

You can set a footer for every card, like this:

<div class="card-footer">
   <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm btn-block" onclick="location.href = '';">BUY NOW </button>
</div>

Answer 4

Set the .card-body div to display:flex and flex-direction:column.

Then give the button margin-top:auto.

I imagine there are Bootstrap help classes for this.

.card-body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

button.btn {
  margin-top: auto;
}

Answer 5

Use the footer, it already has everything setup for you.

<div class="card-deck">
<div class="card">
   <div class="card-body">
      <h4 class="card-title">Title goes here</h4>
      <p class="card-text">Ut leo enim, fermentum fermentum tempor sit amet, vehicula in felis. Pellentesque a arcu augue. Nam eu malesuada lorem. Curabitur et molestie lacus.</p>
   </div>
   <div class="card-footer text-muted mx-auto">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-secondary">Click me!</button>
   </div>
</div>

Then you can optionally style the card-footer element.

.card-footer {
  background: transparent;
  border-top: 0px;
}

Answer 6

surround the button in the card with a div tag containing the class with mt-auto

<div class="d-flex flex-row justify-content-center mt-auto">
<a href="#" target="_blank" target="_blank" type="button" class="btn btn-primary mr-3">GitHub</a>     
</div> 

Answer 7

Flex is your friend

Something like this will work the magic:

.flex-wrap {
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-align-items: inherit;
  -ms-flex-align: inherit;
  align-items: inherit;
}

.flex-container {
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-flex-direction: column;
  -ms-flex-direction: column;
  flex-direction: column;
  -webkit-justify-content: space-between;
  -ms-flex-pack: justify;
  justify-content: space-between;
  -webkit-flex: 1;
  -ms-flex: 1;
  flex: 1;
  background: #eee;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
}


.flex-item {
  -webkit-flex: 0 1 auto;
  -ms-flex: 0 1 auto;
  flex: 0 1 auto;
}


.fill{
  -webkit-flex: 1;
  -ms-flex: 1;
  flex: 1;
}

.btn{
  background:#069;
  padding:10px;
  color:#fff;
}

<div class="flex-wrap">

  <div class="flex-container">
    <div class="flex-item">FREE</div>
    <div class="flex-item fill">
      <h2>$0</h2>
      <p>Some text ... ashd iaush diuhasd uhasd aiusdh iaush d haisduhaiusdh iaush d haisduh aisuhd ias u</p>

sample is ( d-flex flex-column )

<div class="col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-sm-6 col-xl-4" style="float:right">

            <div class="bg-white d-flex flex-column" style="width:100%;height:530px;border:1px solid #808080;border-radius:10px;padding:15px;float:right;margin:10px;">

                    <button type="button" class="btn btn-info" style="margin:10px;width:94%">قیمت : @item.Price</button>
                </div>
                <a href="/Home/About/@item.SiteId" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">توضیحات رسانه</a>
            </div>
        </div>

Answer 9

If you want the button to occupy the maximum length of the card and be at the very bottom as in the example, just put it in a div with class : class="d-grid gap-2 mt-auto" and in the center image description file add display: flex and flex-direction: column; in class .card-body.

HTML:

      <div class="d-grid gap-2 mt-auto">
      <a href="#" class="align-self-end btn btn-lg btn-outline-dark">Sign up for free</a>
      </div>

CSS:

.card-body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;}

Answer 10

If you want to add buttons to the bottom of all cards in Bootstrap, you can use the card-footer class. The card-footer class is used to create a footer section for the card, and it is designed to be positioned at the bottom of the card.

Example:

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-header">
    Card Header
  </div>
  <div class="card-body">
    Card Body
  </div>
  <div class="card-footer">
    <button class="btn btn-secondary">Button</button>
  </div>
</div>

enter code here

Answer 11

This issue is mainly caused when the text of the card is uneven, so the best answer I have found after searching for two hours is to just add this line in the card which has less text than the others:

<p class="invisible" > invisible</p>

I know it is not a good way to tackle a problem but it is the simplest one I have found.
