Bootstrap Table width fills screen - thymeleaf/springboot-CodePudding

I am using bootstrap in my html thymeleaf template as follows:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" 
  rel="stylesheet" 
  integrity="sha384-KyZXEAg3QhqLMpG8r 8fhAXLRk2vvoC2f3B09zVXn8CA5QIVfZOJ3BCsw2P0p/We" 
  crossorigin="anonymous">

<table class="table table-striped table-sm" >
        <thead>
            <th>delete</th>
            <th>Edit</th>
            <th>Consult Date</th>
            <th>Reservation Number</th>
            <th>dispense details</th>

The table is stretched the width of my screen. How do I make table use 50-60% of the screen width?

CodePudding user response：

Utilize the BS grid and place the table inside a column. There are 12 columns in the grid so for 50-60% of the screen width use .col-6 (6/12 = 50%), .col-7 (7/12 = 58.333%) or one of their responsive variants.

In the following example, I use .col-sm-7 so it will take up all 12 columns on extra small screens and then only 7 columns on small and larger screens.
