import { getData } from '@libs/data'

## 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={`
Float start on all viewport sizes

Float end on all viewport sizes

Don’t float on all viewport sizes
`} />

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={`
Float end on viewports sized SM (small) or wider

Float end on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider

Float end on viewports sized LG (large) or wider

Float end on viewports sized XL (extra large) or wider

Float end on viewports sized XXL (extra extra large) or wider

`} />

Here are all the support classes:

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