Divide a row in 5 columns in Bootstrap 4?

Question

How do you equally divide a row in 5 columns in Bootstrap 4 where it has 12 columns total? Anyone knows?

Solution

Bootstrap 4 doesn't use floats like version 3 did so it can automatically space out your columns using just the col class. So for 5 equally spaced columns, just do this:

.col1 {
  background-color: red;
}
.col2 {
  background-color: green;
}
.col3 {
  background-color: blue;
}
.col4 {
  background-color: orange;
}
.col5 {
  background-color: brown;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col col1">Column 1</div>
    <div class="col col2">Column 2</div>
    <div class="col col3">Column 3</div>
    <div class="col col4">Column 4</div>
    <div class="col col5">Column 5</div>
  </div>
</div>

Not sure why people are downvoting this - it's a perfectly valid question, especially for people coming from version 3.

[Toskan]

why people down vote it? because stackoverflow is run by a bunch of scrum masters who have 0 answers but like to downvote stuff because 'it doesn't fit the page'. This question is a perfect example.

[Toskan]

the answer is slightly incomplete because it doesn't mention for example col-md-auto e.g. you can combine col-12 and col-md-auto

This answer wont help if you've got a row with < 5 items but still want a 5-col grid. Instead it'll stretch the items to fill the grid.

@DavidG that works great, but can you suggest how to expand it (to col-sm-12) in responsive view.

[orszaczky]

@Sk446 can't you just add an empty col?

[orszaczky]

col-12 with col-md also works for equally spaced columns that fill the full width of the row on md+ res

[Moslem Hadi]

not really usefull when you want 2 rows with 5 columns in a div.row
