Media elements

Media elements help build complex components where some media is positioned alongside content that doesn’t wrap around said media.

In this article

Usage

Only two classes are required: the wrapping .media and the .media-body around your content.

<div class="media">
  <svg>...</svg>
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">
      Media heading
    </h5>
    <p>...</p>
  </div>
</div>

Nesting

Media objects can be nested by placing the nested media object within the .media-body of a parent media object.

<div class="media">
  <svg>...</svg>
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">
      Media heading
    </h5>
    <p>...</p>
    <div class="media">
      <svg>...</svg>
      <div class="media-body">
        <h5 class="mt-0">
          Media heading
        </h5>
        <p>...</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Alignment

Use flex utilities like .align-self-center and .align-self-end to align media within a media object.

<div class="media">
  <svg class="align-self-center">...</svg>
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">
      Center aligned media
    </h5>
    <p>...</p>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="media">
  <svg class="align-self-end">...</svg>
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">
      Bottom aligned media
    </h5>
    <p>...</p>
  </div>
</div>

Order

Change the order of content in media objects by modifying the HTML itself or using order utilities, like .flex-last.

<div class="media">
  <svg class="flex-last">...</svg>
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">
      Media heading
    </h5>
    <p>...</p>
  </div>
</div>
