Bootstrap 14 columns with a horizontal slider/scrollbar

Question

I have 14 columns in a row, but bootstrap allows only 12, rest 2 columns are coming down. I want all 14 columns in one row with a horizontal slider or scroll.

I searched for solutions online but they aren't working in my scenario. So finally landed here for a brainstorming.

    <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-xs-2">1</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">2</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">3</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">4</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">5</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">6</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">7</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">8</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">9</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">10</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">11</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">12</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">13</div>
        <div class="col-xs-2">14</div>
    </div>
</div>

Answer 1

You could use auto-layout columns to have more than 12 columns, and apply overflow-x-scroll and flex-nowrap to the row to be able to scroll horizontally through the columns.

To keep the columns from shrinking to fit, you can give them a custom class with no flex and a fixed width to fit your content.

.col-14 {
    flex: none;
    width: 120px !important;
}
