description: Quickly and easily clear floated content within a container by adding a clearfix utility.
group: utilities

toc: true

Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element. Can also be used as a mixin.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight scss %}
// Mixin itself
@mixin clearfix() {
&::after {
display: block;
content: "";
clear: both;
}
}

// Usage as a mixin
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
{% endhighlight %}

The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.

{% capture example %}

{% endcapture %}
{% include example.html content=example %}
