Bootstrap 3 offset on right not left

Viewed 305641

In regards to BS 3 if I wanted just a narrow column of content on the right I might use an offset class of 9 and a column of 3.

However, what if I wanted the reverse and on the left side? Is there a proper way to do this in BS or should I just use my own CSS methods? I was thinking of creating a column of 3 with my content and just an empty column of 9.

If you're looking to match Bootstrap 4's naming convention, i.e. offset-*-#, here's that modification:

You need to combine multiple classes (col-*-offset-* for left-margin and col-*-pull-* to pull it right)

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-9">
      I'm a right column
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      We're
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      four columns
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      using the
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      whole row
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-9 col-xs-pull-9">
      I'm a left column
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      We're
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      four columns
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      using the
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
      whole row
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

So you don't need to separate it manually into different rows.

<div class="row col-xs-12">            
            <nav class="col-xs-12 col-xs-offset-7" aria-label="Page navigation">
                <ul class="pagination mt-0">                   
                    <li class="page-item">                        
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <div class="input-group">
                                <input type="text" asp-for="search" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" aria-controls="order-listing" />

                                <div class="input-group-prepend bg-info">
                                    <input type="submit" value="Search" class="input-group-text bg-transparent">                                   
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </li>
                   
                </ul>
            </nav>
        </div>

Bootstrap 5 SASS solution:

@mixin make-col-offset-end($size, $columns: $grid-columns) {
  $num: divide($size, $columns);
  margin-right: if($num == 0, 0, percentage($num));
}

@mixin make-grid-offset-end($columns: $grid-columns, $gutter: $grid-gutter-width, $breakpoints: $grid-breakpoints) {
  @each $breakpoint in map-keys($breakpoints) {
    $infix: breakpoint-infix($breakpoint, $breakpoints);

    @include media-breakpoint-up($breakpoint, $breakpoints) {
      @if $columns > 0 {
        // `$columns - 1` because offsetting by the width of an entire row isn't possible
        @for $i from 0 through ($columns - 1) {
          @if not ($infix == "" and $i == 0) { // Avoid emitting useless .offset-0
            .offset-end#{$infix}-#{$i} {
              @include make-col-offset-end($i, $columns);
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

@include make-grid-offset-end();

This will give you all of the classes offset already has, but with offset-end (e.g. offset-end-md-2)
