React-Bootstrap Container, Row and Col Component

Last Updated : 07 Mar, 2024

React-Bootstrap is a front-end framework that was designed keeping react in mind. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the react-bootstrap Container, Row, Col Component.

Container Component provides a way to center and horizontally pad the contents of our application. It is used when the user wants the responsive pixel width.
Row Component provides a way to represent a row in the grid system. It is used when we want to display data in the form of rows.
Col Component provides a way to represent a column in the grid system. It is used when we want to display data in the form of columns

Container Props:

as: It can be used as a custom element type for this component.
fluid: It is used to allow the container to fill all of its horizontal space which is available.
bsPrefix: It is an escape hatch for working with strongly customized bootstrap CSS.

Row Props:

as: It can be used as a custom element type for this component.
lg: It is used to denote the number of columns which will fit next to each other on large devices having resolution ≥ 992 pixels.
md: It is used to denote the number of columns which will fit next to each other on medium devices having resolution ≥ 768 pixels.
sm: It is used to denote the number of columns which will fit next to each other on small devices having resolution ≥ 576 pixels.
xl: It is used to denote the number of columns which will fit next to each other on extra-large devices having resolution ≥ 1200 pixels.
xs: It is used to denote the number of columns which will fit next to each other on extra-small devices having resolution < 576 pixels.
noGutters: It is used to remove the gutter spacing between added negative margins and columns.
bsPrefix: It is an escape hatch for working with strongly customized bootstrap CSS.

Col Props:

as: It can be used as a custom element type for this component.
lg: It is used to denote the number of columns to span on large devices having resolution ≥ 992 pixels.
md: It is used to denote the number of columns to span on medium devices having resolution ≥ 768 pixels.
sm: It is used to denote the number of columns to span on small devices having resolution ≥ 576 pixels.
xl: It is used to denote the number of columns to span on extra-large devices having resolution ≥ 1200 pixels.
xs: It is used to denote the number of columns to span on extra-small devices having resolution < 576 pixels.
bsPrefix: It is an escape hatch for working with strongly customized bootstrap CSS.

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
```
npx create-react-app foldername
```
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. folder name, move to it using the following command:
```
cd foldername
```
Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:
```
npm install react-bootstrap 
npm install bootstrap
```

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Container Component Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

App.js

import React from 'react'; 
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; 
import Container from 'react-bootstrap/Container'; 
  
export default function App() { 
  return ( 
    <div style={{ display: 'block', 
                  width: 700, padding: 30 }}> 
      <h4>React-Bootstrap Container Component</h4> 
      <Container 
        style={{ 
          backgroundColor: 'green'
        }} 
      > 
        <h3>Sample Text, Greetings from GeeksforGeeks</h3> 
      </Container> 
    </div> 
  ); 
}

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

Row Component Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

App.js

import React from 'react'; 
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; 
import Row from 'react-bootstrap/Row'; 
  
export default function App() { 
  return ( 
    <div style={{ display: 'block',  
                  width: 700, padding: 30 }}> 
      <h4>React-Bootstrap Row Component</h4> 
      <Row style={{ 
        backgroundColor: 'red', 
      }}> 
        Sample First Row 
      </Row> 
      <Row style={{ 
        backgroundColor: 'yellow', 
      }}> 
        Sample Second Row 
      </Row> 
      <Row style={{ 
        backgroundColor: 'green', 
      }}> 
        Sample Third Row 
      </Row> 
    </div> 
  ); 
}

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

          Sample Third Col 
      </Col> 
      </Row> 
    </div> 
  );
