description: Quickly and easily clear floated content within a container by adding a clearfix utility.

Easily clear `float`s by adding `.clearfix` **to the parent element**. Can also be used as a mixin.
```html
<div class="clearfix">...</div>
```
```scss
// Mixin itself
@mixin clearfix() {
&::after {
display: block;
content: "";
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage as a mixin
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
```
The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.
{{< example >}}
<div class="bg-info clearfix">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-left">Example Button floated left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary float-right">Example Button floated right</button>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
