Stretched Link

Make any HTML element or Bootstrap component clickable by “stretching” a nested link via CSS.

Example

Add .stretched-link to a link to make its containing block clickable via a ::after pseudo element. In most cases, this means that an element with position: relative; that contains a link with the .stretched-link class is clickable.

Cards have position: relative by default in Bootstrap, so in this case you can safely add the .stretched-link class to a link in the card without any other HTML changes.

Multiple links and tap targets are not recommended with stretched links. However, some position and z-index styles can help should this be required.

Card with stretched link

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.
