Make row occupy full height in Bootstrap 4
Make row occupy full height in Bootstrap 4
I want to create a Bootstrap grid whose second row occupies the full height of the page, in a very similar fashion to Twitter bootstrap 3 two columns full height. However, the "non-hacky" answer provided, which uses Bootstrap 4's h-100, doesn't seem to be working. Here's the code and its output:
h-100
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="wiewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1 user-scalable=no">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<style>
html
height: 100%;
body
min-height: 100%;
background-color: lightblue;
main
background-color: yellow;
#second-row
background-color: green;
textarea
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<main class="container-fluid h-100">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
Hello,
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
World!
</div>
</div>
<div class="row h-100" id="second-row">
<div class="col-sm-8">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Update: Bootstrap 4: How to make the row stretch remaining height?, a similar question, has an answer that uses Bootstrap 4's flex-grow class. I tried it like so:
flex-grow
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="wiewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1 user-scalable=no">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<style>
html
height: 100%;
body
min-height: 100%;
background-color: lightblue;
main
background-color: yellow;
#second-row
background-color: green;
textarea
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<main class="container-fluid d-flex h-100 flex-column">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
Hello,
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
World!
</div>
</div>
<div class="row flex-fill d-flex justify-content-start" id="second-row">
<div class="col-sm-8 portlet-container portlet-dropzone">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 portlet-container portlet-dropzone">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Output remains unchanged.

You should use flex-grow:1; as explained in the other answer: Bootstrap 4: How to make the row stretch remaining height?
flex-grow:1;
The problem is that body should be height:100%; not min-height...
height:100%;
min-height
<main class="container-fluid d-flex h-100 flex-column">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
Hello,
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
World!
</div>
</div>
<div class="row flex-grow-1" id="second-row">
<div class="col-sm-8 portlet-container portlet-dropzone">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 portlet-container portlet-dropzone">
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</main>
