The HTML tables are actually used to present data in framework way such as rows and columns . With using Bootstrap 4 framework you are capable to easily improve the appearance of the table.

In this case, one of the technologies that have come to be reference is Bootstrap. This front-end framework, within a lot of other features , gives a variety of elements for styling and optimising the display of various components, such as tables.

Main table in Bootstrap

To style a table through Bootstrap, just include the table class to the

<table>

tag, and certain visional formatting will currently be applied , as pointed on the screenshot .

<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Inverse tables.

One of the new tables in Bootsrap 4 is the inverse tables. Class

.table-inverse

can certainly restyle the coloring of the table.

<table class="table table-inverse">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Additional classes

For tables there are additionally some classes that help you to add other designs to a table ( see page), they are:

●

table-striped

Toggles the colour of table rows;

●

table-bordered

Adds border to table;

●

table-hover

Activates the highlight of a Bootstrap Tables Vertical line when we hover the mouse arrow over it;

●

table-condensed

Reduces the height of table rows, helping make it more compact.

To use all of these styles, just simply add the wanted classes to the: <table>: <table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed table-hover">

Table head possibilities

Like default and inverse tables, apply one of two modifier classes to get

<thead>

show up light or dark gray.

<table class="table">
  <thead class="thead-inverse">
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<table class="table">
  <thead class="thead-default">
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>

      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>

      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Striped rows

Zebra-like stripes may be provided with the

.table-striped

class, an example

<table class="table table-striped">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>

      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Hover Rows

To create a hover side effect in the rows of your table provide the

.table-hover

class ( see page):

<table class="table table-hover">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Bordered Table

You can easily add the borders on each table slide and a cell through the

.table-bordered

class:

<table class="table table-bordered">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@TwBootstrap</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">4</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Condensed Table

In case that you intend to make your table a lot more small - then you can cut cell padding in half by having this class:

.table-condensed

Note that, while Bootstrap 4 uses

.table-sm

to condense a table, Bootstrap 3 uses

.table-condensed

. Both equally cut cell padding in half.

<table class="table table-sm">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Contextual Classes of Bootstrap Table Twitter

Use the contextual classes to color a table cells (

<td>

) and table rows (

<tr>

<!-- On rows -->
<tr class="table-active">...</tr>
<tr class="table-success">...</tr>
<tr class="table-warning">...</tr>
<tr class="table-danger">...</tr>
<tr class="table-info">...</tr>

<!-- On cells (`td` or `th`) -->
<tr>
  <td class="table-active">...</td>
  <td class="table-success">...</td>
  <td class="table-warning">...</td>
  <td class="table-danger">...</td>
  <td class="table-info">...</td>
</tr>

Changing the rows of a table Bootstrap 3 doesn't work with the

.table-

prefix for its contextual classes. For good example, Bootstrap 3 uses

.active

while Bootstrap 4 uses

.table-active

. Other than that, each of the versions use the identical 5 contextual key words (active, success, info, warning, danger). In this article you can view the description of each and every one possible type:

● active: Uses the focus color tone to the table row or table cell

● success: Indicates a positive or successful action

● info: Indicates a neutral information change or action

● warning: Indicates a notice that you may need care

● danger: Indicates a potentially negative or dangerous action

Responsive Tables

To create a responsive table - use the

.table-responsive

class. Table scrolls in the horizontal position on devices that less than 768px. If the device is larger than 768px wide, then you will see no big difference :
