Add .stretched-link
to a link to make
its containing block
clickable via a ::after
pseudo element. In most cases, this means that an
element with position: relative;
that contains a link with the
.stretched-link
class is clickable. Please note given how CSS
position
works,
.stretched-link
cannot be mixed with most table elements.
Cards have position: relative
by default in Bootstrap, so in this case you can
safely add the .stretched-link
class to a link in the card without any other
HTML changes.
Multiple links and tap targets are not recommended with stretched links.
However, some position
and z-index
styles can help should this be required.
{ {< example >} }
Card with stretched link
Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.
Go somewhere{ {< /example >} }
Most custom components do not have position: relative
by default, so we need
to add the .position-relative
here to prevent the link from stretching outside
the parent element.
{ {< example >} }
Custom component with stretched link
This is some placeholder content for the custom component. It is intended to mimic what some real-world content would look like, and we're using it here to give the component a bit of body and size.
Go somewhere{ {< /example >} }
{ {< example >} }
Columns with stretched link
Another instance of placeholder content for this other custom component. It is intended to mimic what some real-world content would look like, and we're using it here to give the component a bit of body and size.
Go somewhere{ {< /example >} }
Identifying the containing block#
If the stretched link doesn't seem to work, the containing block will probably be the cause. The following CSS properties will make an element the containing block:
- A
position
value other thanstatic
- A
transform
orperspective
value other thannone
- A
will-change
value oftransform
orperspective
- A
filter
value other thannone
or awill-change
value offilter
(only works on Firefox)
{ {< example >} }
Card with stretched links
Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.
Stretched link will not work here, because position: relative
is added to the link
This stretched link will only be spread over the p
-tag, because a transform is applied to it.
{ {< /example >} }
