There's a newer version of Bootstrap 4!

# Clearfix

Quickly and easily clear floated content within a container by adding a clearfix utility.

Easily clear `float`s by adding `.clearfix` to the parent element. Can also be used as a mixin.

    <div class="clearfix">...</div>

    // Mixin itself
    @mixin clearfix() {
      &::after {
        display: block;
        content: "";
        clear: both;
      }
    }

    // Usage as a mixin
    .element {
      @include clearfix;
    }

The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.

    <div class="bg-info clearfix">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-left">Example Button floated left</button>
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-right">Example Button floated right</button>
    </div>
