Angular ng-repeat add bootstrap row every 3 or 4 cols
The top voted answer, while effective, is not what I would consider to be the angular way, nor is it using bootstrap's own classes that are meant to deal with this situation. As @claies mentioned, the .clearfix
class is meant for situations such as these. In my opinion, the cleanest implementation is as follows:
<div class="row">
<div ng-repeat="product in products">
<div class="clearfix" ng-if="$index % 3 == 0"></div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<h2>{{product.title}}</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This structure avoids messy indexing of the products array, allows for clean dot notation, and makes use of the clearfix class for its intended purpose.
I know it's a bit late but it still might help someone. I did it like this:
<div ng-repeat="product in products" ng-if="$index % 3 == 0" class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">{{products[$index]}}</div>
<div class="col-xs-4" ng-if="products.length > ($index + 1)">{{products[$index + 1]}}</div>
<div class="col-xs-4" ng-if="products.length > ($index + 2)">{{products[$index + 2]}}</div>
</div>

Okay, this solution is far simpler than the ones already here, and allows different column widths for different device widths.
<div class="row">
<div ng-repeat="image in images">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3 col-lg-2">
... your content here ...
</div>
<div class="clearfix visible-lg" ng-if="($index + 1) % 6 == 0"></div>
<div class="clearfix visible-md" ng-if="($index + 1) % 4 == 0"></div>
<div class="clearfix visible-sm" ng-if="($index + 1) % 3 == 0"></div>
<div class="clearfix visible-xs" ng-if="($index + 1) % 2 == 0"></div>
</div>
</div>
Note that the % 6
part is supposed to equal the number of resulting columns. So if on the column element you have the class col-lg-2
there will be 6 columns, so use ... % 6
.
This technique (excluding the ng-if
) is actually documented here: Bootstrap docs
While what you want to accomplish may be useful, there is another option which I believe you might be overlooking that is much more simple.
You are correct, the Bootstrap tables act strangely when you have columns which are not fixed height. However, there is a bootstrap class created to combat this issue and perform responsive resets.
simply create an empty <div class="clearfix"></div>
before the start of each new row to allow the floats to reset and the columns to return to their correct positions.
