Creating any number of equal columns in a ‘row’ was never as easier as it is now in Bootstrap 4.0+. With the introduction of ‘flexbox’ approach to the grid system, designers don’t have to worry about adding additional CSS to make it work. Here’s how it is done.
Approach:
- Go to the Bootstrap site and get the latest Bootstrap files onto your computer.
- Write a basic HTML template using these files.
- Once everything is set up, create a simple ‘container’ div inside <body> tag.
- Inside the ‘container’, create another div with class ‘row’, and as the name suggests, we are creating a row for handling columns. Populate the ‘row’ div with 5 divs with class ‘col’. Because Bootstrap 4.0+ grid system has now shifted to Flexbox, the columns will arrange themselves into five equally sized DOM elements.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1,shrink-to-fit=no">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href=
<script src=
</script>
<script src=
</script>
<style>
.row .col {
height: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container px-5 py-5">
<div class="row">
<div class="col mx-1 bg-success">1</div>
<div class="col mx-1 bg-success">2</div>
<div class="col mx-1 bg-success">3</div>
<div class="col mx-1 bg-success">4</div>
<div class="col mx-1 bg-success">5</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Note: To distinguish between the columns, a small margin is added to each of the columns.
