|
The scaffolding of Bootstrap refers to our general approach to building the project. It outlines the basic document requirements and project dependencies.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bootstrap's general approach to writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as our core settings, is referred to as scaffolding. This includes required responsive and cross browser enhancements, dependencies, and more.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### HTML5 doctype
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that **require** the use of the HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of all your projects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% highlight html %}
|
||
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||
|
<html lang="en">
|
||
|
...
|
||
|
</html>
|
||
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Mobile first
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bootstrap is developed *mobile first*, a strategy in which we optimize code for mobile devices first and then scale up components as necessary using CSS media queries.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming, **add the viewport meta tag** to your `<head>`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% highlight html %}
|
||
|
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
|
||
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Normalize
|
||
|
|
||
|
For improved cross-browser rendering, we use [Normalize.css](http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/) to correct small inconsistencies across browsers and devices.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### jQuery plugins
|
||
|
|
||
|
All our JavaScript plugins are built on top of jQuery.
