Easily clear `float` s by adding `.clearfix` **to the parent element** . Can also be used as a mixin.

{% highlight html %}
< div class = "clearfix" > ...< / div >
{% endhighlight %}
{% highlight scss %}
// Mixin itself
@mixin clearfix() {
& ::after {
display: block;
content: "";
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage as a mixin
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
{% endhighlight %}
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 html %}
< 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 >
