Bootstrap 4 make nested row fill parent that has been made to fill viewport height using flex-grow
I think you just need to remember that flex-grow applies to the child of display:flex
, and not the parent. Therefore, if the parent is also a child flex-grow will work.
.flex-fill {
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
In your case, <div class="container-fluid flex-fill"></div>
should also be d-flex
so that you can use flex-grow to have it's children grow in height, and then continue this down to the drawing area.

Admin almost 2 years
Currently, I am have a (class="d-flex flex-column") containing a navbar and a container and this container contains a (class="d-flex flex-column") as well that contains two rows. I use flex-grow to make my container fill the page. I wish to make the second row in this nested container to fill its parent using flex-grow again but it doesn't work. How do I make a nested element grow to fill a parent that has been made made to fill the viewport height using flex-grow in Bootstrap v4?
Should I not combine flex and container to do what I want? If so, how should I do this?
When I do the following, while the container expand to fill the height, the row within the container just stay the same height, it doesn't expand accordingly.
<div class="d-md-flex flex-column h-100"> <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark bg-dark"> <button class="btn btn-outline-warning mr-auto" type="submit">Back</button> <button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="submit">Logout</button> </nav> <div class="container-fluid flex-grow"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-9"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="btn-toolbar justify-content-between" id="label-toolbar"> <div class="btn-group"> <select class="form-control form-control-sm" id="label-option"> <option>Main</option> <option>Unknown</option> </select> <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" id="create-button">Create</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" id="delete-button">Delete</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" id="edit-button">Edit</button> </div> <div class="btn-group"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-sm" id="previous-button">Previous</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-sm" id="next-button">Next</button> </div> </div> <div id="draw-area"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3 label-sidebar"></div> </div> </div> </div>
Update The following error occurs when using @ZimSystem code. How should I solve this?

Admin over 6 yearsThanks a lot! Any idea why the error (posted a new image, will remove later) above occurs, ie the navbar does not stretch?
