group: utilities

Adjust the overflow property on the fly with four default values and classes. These classes are not responsive by default.

This is an example of using .overflow-auto on an element with set width and height dimensions. By design, this content will vertically scroll.

This is an example of using .overflow-hidden on an element with set width and height dimensions.

This is an example of using .overflow-visible on an element with set width and height dimensions.

This is an example of using .overflow-scroll on an element with set width and height dimensions.

<div class="overflow-auto">...</div>
<div class="overflow-hidden">...</div>
<div class="overflow-visible">...</div>
<div class="overflow-scroll">...</div>

Using Sass variables, you may customize the overflow utilities by changing the $overflows variable in _variables.scss.
