Bootstrap horizontal scrolling

Question

I use the following HTML code:

<div id="list">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-3">1</div>
        <div class="col-md-3">2</div>
        <div class="col-md-3">3</div>
        <div class="col-md-3">n-times</div> 
    </div>
</div>

So, I need to display one row with infinity columns by horizontal with scrolling in the bottom of page.

How can I do this?

So, I tried to set fixed width for list container and have set overflow-x: auto

Answer 1

It's okay to exceed 12 column units in a row. It causes the columns to wrap, but you can override the wrapping with flexbox.

Bootstrap 4 uses flexbox, and the utility classes to get a horizontal scrolling layout..

<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row flex-row flex-nowrap">
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-3">
           ..
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

For Bootstrap 3, it would be done with some CSS for the flexbox.. .

row > .col-xs-3 {
    display:flex;
    flex: 0 0 25%;
    max-width: 25%
}

.flex-nowrap {
    -webkit-flex-wrap: nowrap!important;
    -ms-flex-wrap: nowrap!important;
    flex-wrap: nowrap!important;
}
.flex-row {
    display:flex;
    -webkit-box-orient: horizontal!important;
    -webkit-box-direction: normal!important;
    -webkit-flex-direction: row!important;
    -ms-flex-direction: row!important;
    flex-direction: row!important;
}
