# Float

Toggle floats on any element, across any breakpoint, using our responsive float utilities.

## Overview

These utility classes float an element to the left or right, or disable floating, based on the current viewport size using the CSS `float` property. `!important` is included to avoid specificity issues. These use the same viewport breakpoints as our grid system. Please be aware float utilities have no effect on flex items.

## Classes

Toggle a float with a class:

Float left on all viewport sizes
Float right on all viewport sizes
Don't float on all viewport sizes

    <div class="float-left">Float left on all viewport sizes</div><br>
    <div class="float-right">Float right on all viewport sizes</div><br>
    <div class="float-none">Don't float on all viewport sizes</div>

## Mixins

Or by Sass mixin:

    .element {
      @include float-left;
    }
    .another-element {
      @include float-right;
    }
    .one-more {
      @include float-none;
    }

## Responsive

Responsive variations also exist for each `float` value.

Float left on viewports sized SM (small) or wider
Float left on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider
Float left on viewports sized LG (large) or wider
Float left on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider

    <div class="float-sm-left">Float left on viewports sized SM (small) or wider</div><br>
    <div class="float-md-left">Float left on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider</div><br>
    <div class="float-lg-left">Float left on viewports sized LG (large) or wider</div><br>
    <div class="float-xl-left">Float left on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider</div><br>
