Media Object

Bootstrap's media object is used to create repetitive components like blog comments, tweets, etc,.

How to use

For creating a single media object create a wrapping .media and the .media-body around your content. Optionally padding and margin can be added with spacing utilities.

<div class="media">
  <img class="mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">Media heading</h5>
    Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.
  </div>
</div>

Nesting

You can nest media objects infinitely. Place nested .media within the .media-body of a parent media object.

<div class="media">
  <img class="mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">Media heading</h5>
    Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.

    <div class="media mt-3">
      <a class="pr-3" href="#">
        <img src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
      </a>
      <div class="media-body">
        <h5 class="mt-0">Media heading</h5>
        Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Alignment

Media in a media object can be aligned with flexbox utilities to the top (default), middle, or end of your .media-body content.

<div class="media">
  <img class="align-self-start mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">Top-aligned media</h5>
    <p>Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.</p>
    <p>Donec sed odio dui. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="media">
  <img class="align-self-center mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">Center-aligned media</h5>
    <p>Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.</p>
    <p class="mb-0">Donec sed odio dui. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="media">
  <img class="align-self-end mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0">Bottom-aligned media</h5>
    <p>Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.</p>
    <p class="mb-0">Donec sed odio dui. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p>
  </div>
</div>

Order

You can change the order of content in media objects by modifying the HTML itself, or by adding custom flexbox CSS to set the order property (integer value).

<div class="media">
  <div class="media-body">
    <h5 class="mt-0 mb-1">Media object</h5>
    Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.
  </div>
  <img class="ml-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
</div>

Media list

Create media list with HTML list elements. Add the .list-unstyled on <ul> or <ol> to remove any browser default list styles, and then apply .media to your <li>s. Use spacing utilities wherever needed.

<ul class="list-unstyled">
  <li class="media">
    <img class="mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
    <div class="media-body">
      <h5 class="mt-0 mb-1">List-based media object</h5>
      Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.
    </div>
  </li>
  <li class="media my-4">
    <img class="mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
    <div class="media-body">
      <h5 class="mt-0 mb-1">List-based media object</h5>
      Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.
    </div>
  </li>
  <li class="media">
    <img class="mr-3" src=".../64x64" alt="Generic placeholder image">
    <div class="media-body">
      <h5 class="mt-0 mb-1">List-based media object</h5>
      Cras sit amet nibh libero, in gravida nulla. Nulla vel metus scelerisque ante sollicitudin. Cras purus odio, vestibulum in vulputate at, tempus viverra turpis. Fusce condimentum nunc ac nisi vulputate fringilla. Donec lacinia congue felis in faucibus.
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>
