Easily clear `float`s by adding `.clearfix` **to the parent element**. Can also be used as a mixin.
```html
...
```
```scss
// Mixin itself
@mixin clearfix() {
&::after {
display: block;
content: "";
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage as a mixin
.element {
@include clearfix;
}
```
The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.
