Some of the latest tables in Bootsrap 4 is the inverse tables. Class .table-inverse
is able to transform the color selection of the table.
<table class="table table-inverse">

<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>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>

For tables there are additionally some classes that make it possible for you to apply many different looks to a table, they are:
● table-striped
Toggles the color tone of table rows;
● table-bordered
Adds border to table;
● table-hover
Turns on the highlight of a Bootstrap Tables Styles line when we hover the mouse cursor over it;
● table-condensed
Reduces the height of table rows, making it more compact.
To use such styles, just add in the desired classes to the: <table>: <table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed table-hover">
Much like default and inverted tables, run one of two modifier classes to get <thead>
show up light or dark gray.

Zebra-like stripes can be put in with the .table-striped

<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>
To create a hover effect in the rows of your table add in the .table-hover
class:
<table class="table table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>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>
You are able to put in the borders on every single table slide and a cell using the .table-bordered
class:
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>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>
In the case that you like to make your table much more small - on that occasion you can certainly cut cell padding in half with this class: .table-condensed
.
Keep in mind that, while Bootstrap 4 uses .table-sm
to condense a table, Bootstrap 3 uses .table-condensed
. Both cut cell padding in half.
<table class="table table-sm">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>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>
Use the contextual classes to color a table cells (<td>
) and table rows (<tr>
):
<!-- On rows -->
<tr class="table-active">...</tr>
<tr class="table-success">...</tr>
<tr class="table-warning">...</tr>
<tr class="table-danger">...</tr>
<tr class="table-info">...</tr>
<!-- On cells (`td` or `th`) -->
<tr>
<td class="table-active">...</td>
<td class="table-success">...</td>
<td class="table-warning">...</td>
<td class="table-danger">...</td>
<td class="table-info">...</td>
</tr>
Changing the rows of a table Bootstrap 3 doesn't use the .table-
prefix for its contextual classes. Bootstrap 3 uses .active
whereas Bootstrap 4 uses .table-active
.
● active: Uses the focus color option to the table row or table cell
● success: Signifies a successful or positive action
● info: Indicates a neutral information change or action
● warning: Signifies a warning that you might need care
● danger: Signifies a dangerous or potentially negative action
To create a responsive table - use the .table-responsive
class. Table scrolls in the horizontal course on gadgets that less than 768px. If the device is larger than 768px wide, then you will see no difference :
Bootstrap 4 allows you to add the .table-responsive
class to the actual <table> element. Bootstrap 3 tables required that you add that class to a parent <div> element.
