Basic Tables

Using the most basic table markup, here’s how .table-based tables look in Bootstrap. You can use any example of below table for your table and it can be use with any type of bootstrap tables.

Example 1: Table with outer spacing

Example 2: Minimal Table with no outer spacing.

Inverse table

You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .table-inverse.

Inverse table with info background

You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .bg-info, .bg-success, .bg-warning and .bg-danger classes.

To set the light background color use .bg-[color] class where [color] is the value of your selected color from modern color palette. So for teal color background class will be .bg-teal. Refer HTML markup line no 1. Background color class is a optional if you don't it will take white background default.

To set the selected background color lighten use .bg-lighten-[*] class where [*] is the value between '1-5' of your selected lighten color from modern color palette. So for color lighten 4 background class will be .bg-lighten-4. Refer HTML markup line no 1. Background lighten color class is a optional if you don't it will take white background default.

Table head options

Similar to default and inverse tables, use one of two modifier classes .thead-default or .thead-inverse to make <thead>s appear light or dark gray.

Striped rows

Use .table-striped to add zebra-striping to any table row within the <tbody>. This styling doesn't work in IE8 and below as :nth-child CSS selector isn't supported.

Captions

A <caption> functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it’s about and decide if they want to read it.

Responsive tables

Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by adding .table-responsive class on .table. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by adding .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}.

Vertical clipping/truncation

Responsive tables make use of overflow-y: hidden, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.

Always responsive

Breakpoint specific

Use .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl} as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.
