Bootstrap 3: Vertically stack buttons after first one wraps? - html

Question

I am building a login page with social buttons using Font Awesome icons. On larger devices the buttons are displayed horizontally next to each other, but as I resize my screen the right-most button will wrap underneath the other two buttons when they get too wide for the column. I would like for the buttons to stack vertically and expand to fill the space of the column instead of having a misplaced button underneath. I've tried a method using media queries but it's a bit hacky and I'm afraid it won't be easy to maintain, so I scratched that idea.
Here's what I have so far:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-8">
<div class="row">
<button id="login" class="btn btn-default">Login</button>
<button id="facebook" class="btn btn-default"><span class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg"></span> Facebook Login</button>
<button id="google" class="btn btn-default"><span class="fa fa-google fa-lg"></span> Google Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Any suggestions on how to tackle this?

Answer 1

You have two options. In my opinion media queries would be the cleanest but here are the options:
1) Adding a media query and targeting a special class that you can add to just those buttons:
#media screen and (max-width: 768px){
.loginBtns {
width:100%;
display:block;
margin: 10px 0;
}
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-8 col-xs-12">
<div class="row">
<button id="login" class="btn btn-default loginBtns">Login</button>
<button id="facebook" class="btn btn-default loginBtns"><span class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg"></span> Facebook Login</button>
<button id="google" class="btn btn-default loginBtns"><span class="fa fa-google fa-lg"></span> Google Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
2) Duplicating the buttons and hiding one version on small screens while showing the other. I'm not a big fan of duplicating code so I wouldn't recommend this option but if you don't like media queries it could be an option.
.loginBtns2 {
width:100%;
margin: 5px 0;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-8 hidden-xs">
<div class="row">
<button id="login" class="btn btn-default loginBtns">Login</button>
<button id="facebook" class="btn btn-default loginBtns"><span class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg"></span> Facebook Login</button>
<button id="google" class="btn btn-default loginBtns"><span class="fa fa-google fa-lg"></span> Google Login</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 visible-xs">
<div class="row">
<button id="login" class="btn btn-default loginBtns2">Login</button>
</div>
<div class="row">
<button id="facebook" class="btn btn-default loginBtns2"><span class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg"></span> Facebook Login</button>
</div>
<div class="row">
<button id="google" class="btn btn-default loginBtns2"><span class="fa fa-google fa-lg"></span> Google Login</button>
</div>
</div>
Here is a working codepen with both options too:
