Bootstrap 5 - Show/hide images on specific breakpoints

I'm working on upgrading an existing application from Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5. I used the occasion to clean up the CSS logic. One thing I had in the original application was an image in the header that should be cropped on smaller screens.

This how the header looks like on bigger screens:

And this is on smaller screens:

The trick I used originally was by using a media queries:

However with the upgrade to Bootstrap 5 I would try to achieve the same thing using the built-in grid system and breakpoints.

Breakpoints

Breakpoints are the building blocks of responsive design in Bootstrap. You can use them to control when your layout can be adapted at a particular viewport or device size.

Bootstrap includes six default breakpoints, sometimes referred to as grid tiers, for building responsively. These breakpoints can be customized if you’re using our source Sass files.

Breakpoint Class infix Dimensions
X-Small None <576px
Small sm ≥576px
Medium md ≥768px
Large lg ≥992px
Extra large xl ≥1200px
Extra extra large xxl ≥1400px

Show/hide images

To show/hide images on certain breakpoints we need to set a combination of the following classes on your image tags:

SCREEN SIZE            CLASSES
---------------------------------------------------
hidden on all          d-none
hidden only on xs      d-none d-sm-block
hidden only on sm      d-sm-none d-md-block
hidden only on md      d-md-none d-lg-block
hidden only on lg      d-lg-none d-xl-block
hidden only on xl      d-xl-none d-xxl-block
hidden only on xxl     d-xxl-none
hidden below sm        d-none d-sm-block
hidden below md        d-none d-md-block
hidden below lg        d-none d-lg-block
hidden below xl        d-none d-xl-block
hidden below xxl       d-none d-xxl-block
---------------------------------------------------
visible on all         d-block
visible only on xs     d-block d-sm-none
visible only on sm     d-none d-sm-block d-md-none
visible only on md     d-none d-md-block d-lg-none
visible only on lg     d-none d-lg-block d-xl-none
visible only on xl     d-none d-xl-block d-xxl-none
visible only on xxl    d-none d-xxl-block
visible below sm       d-sm-none
visible below md       d-md-none
visible below lg       d-lg-none
visible below xl       d-xl-none
visible below xxl      d-xxl-none

In our specific example, we want to show one image only on xl or higher dimensions and show the other image only when the dimension is smaller then xl. Here is how I did this in html:

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
