Building a Bootstrap 5 Grid with Fixed and Dynamic Width Columns

Creating a flexible and responsive layout can be challenging, especially when you need to combine fixed-size columns with dynamically resizing ones. This is a common requirement in web development, especially in applications developed using frameworks like Blazor. In this post, we'll explore how to accomplish this using Bootstrap 5's grid system.

The Problem

Consider a scenario where you have a layout that requires some columns to have fixed small sizes while one column needs to be significantly larger. You also want to ensure that everything is displayed in a single row, even when the content in the larger column may potentially be lengthy.

Using Bootstrap's default grid by dividing into 12 columns with col-xs-* classes might not work for your case. Moreover, arbitrary widths can lead to issues with long words overflowing and causing the layout to break.

Solution Overview

To achieve the desired layout, there are a couple of strategies you can implement using Bootstrap 5:

Using Flexbox: Leverage Bootstrap's flexbox utilities to create a container that holds your fixed-size columns and a flexible column.

Using Grid System Classes: Utilize Bootstrap's column classes to maintain your layout integrity.

Let's break it down into a more detailed explanation.

Method 1: Flexbox Container

Using the Bootstrap 5 flexbox utilities, you can create a single row container that holds all three elements. This allows you to set custom widths for your fixed-size columns while ensuring that the larger column expands as needed.

Here is how you can structure your HTML:

Method 2: Grid Classes with Custom Widths

Alternatively, you can also make use of Bootstrap's grid classes while still applying custom CSS styles for width. Here’s how:

Tips for Improved Text Flow

To ensure that long texts do not break the layout and wrap appropriately, you can use the following Bootstrap classes:

.text-wrap: Forces the text to wrap within the div.

.text-break: Breaks long words to prevent overflow and breaking the layout.

With these classes, your long texts will gracefully wrap inside the larger columns without forcing the layout into new rows.

Conclusion

By using Bootstrap 5’s flexbox utilities or grid system, you can effectively manage how fixed and dynamic width columns interact. The key to success lies in structuring your HTML correctly and utilizing Bootstrap's capabilities to ensure a responsive, clean layout.

Feel free to adapt this code and enhance your Blazor application with a robust grid layout that meets your specific needs!
