## Overview

These utility classes float an element to the left or right, or disable floating, based on the current viewport size using the [CSS `float` property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/float). `!important` is included to avoid specificity issues. These use the same viewport breakpoints as our grid system. Please be aware float utilities have no effect on flex items.

<Example code={`<div class="float-start">Float start on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-end">Float end on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-none">Don’t float on all viewport sizes</div>`} />

Use the [clearfix helper]([[docsref:/helpers/clearfix]]) on a parent element to clear floats.

## Responsive

Responsive variations also exist for each `float` value.

<Example code={`<div class="float-sm-end">Float end on viewports sized SM (small) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-md-end">Float end on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-lg-end">Float end on viewports sized LG (large) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-xl-end">Float end on viewports sized XL (extra large) or wider</div><br>
<div class="float-xxl-end">Float end on viewports sized XXL (extra extra large) or wider</div><br>`} />

Here are all the support classes:

<ul>
{getData('breakpoints').map((breakpoint) => {
  return (
    <Fragment>
      <li><code>.float{breakpoint.abbr}-start</code></li>
      <li><code>.float{breakpoint.abbr}-end</code></li>
      <li><code>.float{breakpoint.abbr}-none</code></li>
    </Fragment>
  )
})}
</ul>
