## Installing Bootstrap
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
[Install bootstrap ]({{< docsref "/getting-started/download#npm" >}} ) as a Node.js module using npm.
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
## Importing JavaScript
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
Import [Bootstrap's JavaScript ]({{< docsref "/getting-started/javascript" >}} ) by adding this line to your app's entry point (usually `index.js` or `app.js` ):
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```js
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
import 'bootstrap';
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
Alternatively, you may **import plugins individually** as needed:
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```js
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
import 'bootstrap/js/dist/util';
2018-06-27 11:33:07 +02:00
import 'bootstrap/js/dist/alert';
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
...
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2019-07-20 11:53:02 +02:00
Bootstrap depends on [jQuery ](https://jquery.com/ ) and [Popper ](https://popper.js.org/ ),
which are specified in the `peerDependencies` property; this means that you will have to make sure to add both of them
2017-11-16 11:10:48 +01:00
to your `package.json` using `npm install --save jquery popper.js` .
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
## Importing Styles
2017-08-11 17:50:03 +02:00
### Importing Precompiled Sass
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2017-05-28 07:03:48 +02:00
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.
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
First, create your own `_custom.scss` and use it to override the [built-in custom variables ]({{< docsref "/getting-started/theming" >}} ). Then, use your main Sass file to import your custom variables, followed by Bootstrap:
2017-10-30 22:53:57 +01:00
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```scss
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
@import "custom";
@import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2020-09-18 09:53:22 +02:00
For Bootstrap to compile, make sure you install and use the required loaders: [sass-loader ](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/sass-loader ), [postcss-loader ](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/postcss-loader ) with [Autoprefixer ](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer#webpack ). With minimal setup, your webpack config should include this rule or similar:
2017-05-28 07:03:48 +02:00
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```js
2018-10-20 21:59:27 +02:00
...
{
test: /\.(scss)$/,
use: [{
loader: 'style-loader', // inject CSS to page
}, {
loader: 'css-loader', // translates CSS into CommonJS modules
}, {
loader: 'postcss-loader', // Run postcss actions
options: {
plugins: function () { // postcss plugins, can be exported to postcss.config.js
return [
require('autoprefixer')
];
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
}
2018-10-20 21:59:27 +02:00
}
}, {
loader: 'sass-loader' // compiles Sass to CSS
}]
},
...
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
### Importing Compiled CSS
2018-03-07 22:53:39 +01:00
Alternatively, you may use Bootstrap's ready-to-use CSS by simply adding this line to your project's entry point:
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```js
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```
2017-05-26 06:01:07 +02:00
2018-03-07 22:53:39 +01:00
In this case you may use your existing rule for `css` without any special modifications to webpack config, except you don't need `sass-loader` just [style-loader ](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/style-loader ) and [css-loader ](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader ).
2017-11-03 12:53:24 +01:00
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```js
2018-10-20 21:59:27 +02:00
...
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader']
}
]
}
...
2020-11-04 15:39:29 +01:00
```
