Bootstrap 5 Beta 3 Is Here

The final beta for Bootstrap 5 has come with some amazing new changes (including a new component!), documentation updates, and more. It brings fixes for important bugs since the last release, in particular with dependencies. Next up, stable release!

Finally We Have Offcanvas Component

Thanks to the newest team member, @GeoSot, there is a brand new component in Beta 3 offcanvas! Built on and sharing fundamental pieces of modals, the offcanvas comes with a configurable backdrop, body scroll, and placement. Offcanvas components can be placed on the left, right, and bottom of the viewport. Configure these options with data attributes or via the JavaScript APIs.

<div class="offcanvas offcanvas-start show" tabindex="-1" id="offcanvas" aria-labelledby="offcanvasLabel" data-bs-backdrop="false" data-bs-scroll="true">
  <div class="offcanvas-header">
    <h5 class="offcanvas-title" id="offcanvasLabel">Offcanvas</h5>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close text-reset" data-bs-dismiss="offcanvas" aria-label="Close"></button>
  </div>
  <div class="offcanvas-body">
    Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any Bootstrap component or custom elements here.
  </div>
</div>
