[Install bootstrap]({{< docsref “/getting-started/download#npm” >}}) as a Node.js module using npm.
Import [Bootstrap’s JavaScript]({{< docsref “/getting-started/javascript” >}}) by adding this line to your app’s entry point (usually index.js
or app.js
):
import 'bootstrap';
// or get all of the named exports for further usage
import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap';
Alternatively, if you only need just a few of our plugins, you may import plugins individually as needed:
import Alert from 'bootstrap/js/dist/alert';
// or, specify which plugins you need:
import { Tooltip, Toast, Popover } from 'bootstrap';
Bootstrap depends on Popper, which is specified in the peerDependencies
property. This means that you will have to make sure to add it to your package.json
using npm install @popperjs/core
.
To enjoy the full potential of Bootstrap and customize it to your needs, use the source files as a part of your project’s bundling process.
First, create your own _custom.scss
and use it to override the [built-in custom variables]({{< docsref “/customize/sass” >}}). Then, use your main Sass file to import your custom variables, followed by Bootstrap:
For Bootstrap to compile, make sure you install and use the required loaders: sass-loader, postcss-loader with Autoprefixer. With minimal setup, your webpack config should include this rule or similar:
// ...
{
test: /\.(scss)$/,
use: [{
// inject CSS to page
loader: 'style-loader'
}, {
// translates CSS into CommonJS modules
loader: 'css-loader'
}, {
// Run postcss actions
loader: 'postcss-loader',
options: {
// `postcssOptions` is needed for postcss 8.x;
// if you use postcss 7.x skip the key
postcssOptions: {
// postcss plugins, can be exported to postcss.config.js
plugins: function () {
return [
require('autoprefixer')
];
}
}
}
}, {
// compiles Sass to CSS
loader: 'sass-loader'
}]
}
// ...
Alternatively, you may use Bootstrap’s ready-to-use CSS by simply adding this line to your project’s entry point:
In this case you may use your existing rule for css
without any special modifications to webpack config, except you don’t need sass-loader
just style-loader and css-loader.
