Right align element in div class

Question

I am using angular 2 with Bootstrap 4 and Angular Material. However, I am having trouble right align the elements inside my container div. I want both my button and text to be aligned to the right hand side

Here is what the code that I have tried to produce the result as shown in the photo

<div class="container">
  <div class="pull-right">
    <p class="d-inline pull-right">Some text</p>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary pull-right">+</button>
  </div>
</div>

I have also tried this solution from StackOverflow

<div class="container">
  <div class="asdf">
    <p class="d-inline pull-right">Some text</p>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary pull-right">+</button>
  </div>
</div>

.asdf {
  margin-left:auto; 
  margin-right:0;
}

Both of these solutions does not move the elements to the right. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I've removed the class pull-right class from both the button and the p tag and added text-right class to the div.container.

I think this is what you need.

<div class="container text-right">
    <p class="d-inline">Some text</p>
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary d-inline">+</button>
</div>

Answer 2

Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)

Because of new RTL support, *-left and *-right classes have changed to *-start and *-end. Here are the Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5 conversions:

• float-left => float-start
• float-right => float-end
• ml-auto => ms-auto
• mr-auto => me-auto

Bootstrap 4 (original answer)

In Bootstrap 4, pull-right has been replaced with float-right.

If float-right is not working, remember that Bootstrap 4 is now flexbox, and many elements are display:flex which can prevent float-right from working. In some cases, the utility classes like align-self-end or ml-auto work to right align elements that are inside a flexbox container like a Bootstrap 4 .row, Card or Nav. The ml-auto (margin-left:auto) is used in a flexbox element to push elements to the right.

Also, remember that text-right still works on inline elements.
