## Examples

Due to the widespread use of tables across third-party widgets like calendars and date pickers, we've designed our tables to be **opt-in**. Just add the base class `.table` to any `<table>`, then extend with custom styles or our various included modifier classes.

Using the most basic table markup, here's how `.table`-based tables look in Bootstrap. **All table styles are inherited in Bootstrap 4**, meaning any nested tables will be styled in the same manner as the parent.

{% example html %}
<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with `.table-dark`.

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Table head options

Similar to tables and dark tables, use the modifier classes `.thead-light` or `.thead-dark` to make `<thead>`s appear light or dark gray.

{% example html %}
<table class="table">
  <thead class="thead-dark">
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<table class="table">
  <thead class="thead-light">
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Striped rows

Use `.table-striped` to add zebra-striping to any table row within the `<tbody>`.

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-striped">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-striped table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Bordered table

Add `.table-bordered` for borders on all sides of the table and cells.

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-bordered">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@TwBootstrap</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">4</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-bordered table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@TwBootstrap</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">4</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Hoverable rows

Add `.table-hover` to enable a hover state on table rows within a `<tbody>`.

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-hover">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-hover table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Small table

Add `.table-sm` to make tables more compact by cutting cell padding in half.

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-sm">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-sm table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Contextual classes

Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.

<div class="bd-example">
  <table class="table">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">Type</th>
        <th scope="col">Column heading</th>
        <th scope="col">Column heading</th>
        <th scope="col">Column heading</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr class="table-active">
        <th scope="row">Active</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">Default</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>

{% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}
      <tr class="table-{{ color.name }}">
        <th scope="row">{{ color.name | capitalize }}</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>{% endfor %}
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

{% highlight html %}

<tr class="table-active">...</tr>
{% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}
<tr class="table-{{ color.name }}">...</tr>{% endfor %}

<tr>
  <td class="table-active">...</td>
  {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}
  <td class="table-{{ color.name }}">...</td>{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endhighlight %}

Regular table background variants are not available with the dark table, however, you may use [text or background utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/utilities/colors/) to achieve similar styles.

<div class="bd-example">
  <table class="table table-dark">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">#</th>
        <th scope="col">Column heading</th>
        <th scope="col">Column heading</th>
        <th scope="col">Column heading</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr class="bg-primary">
        <th scope="row">1</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">2</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="bg-success">
        <th scope="row">3</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">4</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="bg-info">
        <th scope="row">5</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">6</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="bg-warning">
        <th scope="row">7</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">8</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="bg-danger">
        <th scope="row">9</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

{% highlight html %}

<tr class="bg-primary">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-success">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-warning">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-danger">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-info">...</tr>

<tr>
  <td class="bg-primary">...</td>
  <td class="bg-success">...</td>
  <td class="bg-warning">...</td>
  <td class="bg-danger">...</td>
  <td class="bg-info">...</td>
</tr>
{% endhighlight %}

{% capture callout-include %}{% include callout-warning-color-assistive-technologies.md %}{% endcapture %}
{{ callout-include | markdownify }}

## Captions

A `<caption>` functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it’s about and decide if they want to read it.

{% example html %}
<table class="table">
  <caption>List of users</caption>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Last Name</th>
      <th scope="col">Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Responsive tables

Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by adding `.table-responsive` class on `.table`. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by adding `.table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}`.

{% callout warning %}
#### Vertical clipping/truncation

Responsive tables make use of `overflow-y: hidden`, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.
{% endcallout %}

### Always responsive

<div class="bd-example">
  <table class="table table-responsive">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">#</th>

        <td>Table cell</td>
        <td>Table cell</td>
        <td>Table cell</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

{% highlight html %}
<table class="table table-responsive">
  ...
</table>
{% endhighlight %}

### Breakpoint specific

Use `.table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}` as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.

<div class="bd-example">
{% for bp in site.data.breakpoints %}{% unless bp.breakpoint == "xs" %}
<table class="table table-responsive{{ bp.abbr }}">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">Table heading</th>
      <th scope="col">Table heading</th>
      <th scope="col">Table heading</th>
      <th scope="col">Table heading</th>
      <th scope="col">Table heading</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
      <td>Table cell</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endunless %}{% endfor %}
