Collapse DIV only on Mobile View - Bootstrap 3

Question

I have a sidebar search parameters. I want to make collapse function on this DIV only on Mobile device. Using Bootstrap 3 - Latest version.

Here is the HTML Markup.

<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-4 SearchParameters">
            <h4 data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#search">Location</h4>
            <div class="col-md-12 sCheck no-gutter collapse" id="search">
                <h5>Lahore (254)</h5>
                <div class="col-md-12">
                    <form role="form">
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="ModelTown">
                            <label for="ModelTown">Model Town</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="DHA">
                            <label for="DHA">DHA</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="CG">
                            <label for="CG">Cavalry Ground</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="Gulberg">
                            <label for="Gulberg">Gulberg</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="Samnabad">
                            <label for="Samnabad">Samnabad</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="AIT">
                            <label for="AIT">Allama Iqbal Town</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="GardenTown">
                            <label for="GardenTown">Garden Town</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="Township">
                            <label for="Township">Township</label>
                        </div>
                        <div class="checkbox checkbox-primary">
                            <input type="checkbox" id="FaisalTown">
                            <label for="FaisalTown">Faisal Town</label>
                        </div>
                        <a href="#">20 more locations</a>
                    </form>
                </div><!-- form-group -->
                <div class="clearfix"></div>
                <h5 class="second">Availability</h5>

                <div class="col-md-12 SelectDays">
                    <a href="#" class="Day">M</a>
                    <a href="#" class="Day">T</a>
                    <a href="#" class="Day active">W</a>
                    <a href="#" class="Day">Th</a>
                    <a href="#" class="Day">F</a>
                    <a href="#" class="Day">S</a>
                    <a href="#" class="Day">SU</a>
                </div><!-- SelectDays -->

                <div class="col-md-12 TimeSet">
                    <!-- timeFunction -->
                </div><!-- TimeSet -->

            </div><!-- col-md-12 -->
        </div><!-- SearchParameters -->

The SearchParameters DIV I use to give styling to the code.

Note : I want to collapse "SearchParameters" div only on mobile and opened it with a button.. There should be only 1 div. I can hide this div and show another div which is visible on mobile devices but that's not a good approach. I want to collapse this div and show it on button click only on mobile devices.

Answer 1

Similiar to Rudy's solution, I found the following worked well for my needs, for Bootstrap 4.6 & Razor (Blazor WASM) :

@media (min-width: 641px) {
  .collapse.collapse-show-xs {
      display: block !important;
  }
}

Usage:

<div class="collapse collapse-show-xs @NavMenuCssClass" @onclick="ToggleNavMenu">
    <ul class="nav flex-column">
        <li class="nav-item px-3">
            <NavLink class="nav-link" href="" Match="NavLinkMatch.All">
                <span class="oi oi-home" aria-hidden="true"></span> Home
            </NavLink>
        </li>

When I upgraded the version of bootstrap for Blazorize, I noticed my sidebar was not showing anymore. Now it's doing what I want, which is that it never hides when at least meeting xs screen size, and can be hidden when below.

Answer 2

CSS-only method. Also works on Bootstrap 4.

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .collapse.dont-collapse-sm {
    display: block;
    height: auto !important;
    visibility: visible;
  }
}

<div class="container">
  
  <button class="btn btn-primary hidden visible-xs" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
    Collapse Button
  </button>
  
  <div class="collapse dont-collapse-sm" id="collapseExample">
    <div class="well">
      Collapse Panel
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Why not using the window.matchMedia?

For simplicity I've created an example based on Andrew Dinmore. It doesn't need the extra empty div to check whether something is visible or not.

<button class="btn btn-default btn-block visible-xs hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#Foo">Toggle</button>

<div id="Foo" class="collapse in">
  <!-- fancy content here -->
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
      if (matchMedia) {
        var mq = window.matchMedia("(max-width: 768px)");
        mq.addListener(WidthChange);
        WidthChange(mq);
      }

      function WidthChange(mq) {
        if (mq.matches) {
          $("#Foo").removeClass("in");
        }
      }
    });
  </script>

enjoy! ;-)

Answer 4

Since the "in" class is what defines the collapsible element as open, removing it on mobile causes it to start out collapsed.

E.g.

<button data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapsible">Show/Hide</button>
<div class="collapse in" id="collapsible">
    Content Here.
</div>
<div class="visible-xs" id="xs-check"></div>
<script>
if( $("#xs-check").is(":visible") )
    $("#collapsible").removeClass("in");
</script>

Answer 5

You could do it this way:

<button class="visible-xs" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#SearchParameters">Toggle it</button>

<div class="hidden-xs col-md-3 col-sm-4 SearchParameters" id="SearchParameters">
...

CSS:

#SearchParameters.in,
#SearchParameters.collapsing {
    display: block!important;
}
