Tables are existing in the majority of the programs (web, desktop or mobile program) and they are a main element in showing data to the final user. The HTML tables are actually used to present data in framework manner like rows and columns . With working with Bootstrap 4 framework you are capable to easily improve the appeal of the table.
Nowadays, with the importance that the user interface has, understanding how to increase the visual appeal of a Bootstrap Table Pricing comes to be as relevant as it is. In this situation, one of the systems that have become reference is Bootstrap. This front-end framework, among many other features , provides a amount of components for styling and optimising the display of various elements, such as tables.
To mode a table using Bootstrap, just simply put in the table class to the <table>
tag, and some visional formatting will just be applied , as shown on the screenshot .
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Among the new tables in Bootsrap 4 is the inverse tables. Class .table-inverse
can easily change the colouring of the table.
<table class="table table-inverse">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
For tables there are additionally some classes that help you to apply many different styles to a table, they are:
● table-striped
Toggles the color tone of table rows;
● table-bordered
Adds border to table;
● table-hover
Switches on the highlight of a Bootstrap Tables Css line when we hover the mouse cursor over it;
● table-condensed
Lowers the height of table rows, making it more compact.
To apply such designs, simply add in the wanted classes to the: <table>: <table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed table-hover">
The same as default and inverted tables, use one of two modifier classes to get <thead>
show up light or dark gray.

</tr>

<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>

<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>

</table>
Zebra-like stripes can be added to with the .table-striped
class, an good example
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td>Larry</td>
<td>the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
To make a hover effect in the rows of your table bring in the .table-hover
class:
<table class="table table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You have the ability to incorporate the borders on every single table slide and a cell by using the .table-bordered
class:
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@TwBootstrap</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">4</th>
<td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
In case you need to make your table more compact - on that occasion you can cut cell padding in half by having this class: .table-condensed
.
Note that, while Bootstrap 4 uses .table-sm
to condense a table, Bootstrap 3 uses .table-condensed
. Each cut cell padding in half.
<table class="table table-sm">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Use the contextual classes to color a table cells (<td>
) and table rows (<tr>
):
<!-- On rows -->
<tr class="table-active">...</tr>
<tr class="table-success">...</tr>
<tr class="table-warning">...</tr>
<tr class="table-danger">...</tr>
<tr class="table-info">...</tr>
<!-- On cells (`td` or `th`) -->
<tr>
<td class="table-active">...</td>
<td class="table-success">...</td>
<td class="table-warning">...</td>
<td class="table-danger">...</td>
<td class="table-info">...</td>
</tr>
Changing the rows of a table Bootstrap 3 doesn't work with the .table-
prefix for its contextual classes. For example, Bootstrap 3 uses .active
while Bootstrap 4 uses .table-active
. Other than that, both versions use the identical 5 contextual keywords (active, success, info, warning, danger). Listed below you are able to view the information about each one possible option:
● active: Applies the focus colour to the table row or table cell
● success: Signifies a positive or successful action
● info: Signifies a neutral information change or action
● warning: Indicates a notice that you might need attention
● danger: Displays a potentially negative or dangerous action
To create a responsive table - use the .table-responsive
class. Table scrolls in the horizontal direction on devices that under 768px. If the device is larger than 768px wide, then you will see no big difference :
Bootstrap 4 allows you to add the .table-responsive
class to the actual <table> element. Bootstrap 3 tables required that you add that class to a parent <div> element.
