--- layout: docs title: Parcel description: Learn how to include Bootstrap in your project using Parcel. group: getting-started toc: true --- ## Install Parcel Install [Parcel Bundler](https://parceljs.org/getting-started/webapp/). ## Install Bootstrap [Install bootstrap]({{< docsref "/getting-started/download#npm" >}}) as a Node.js module using npm. Bootstrap depends on [Popper](https://popper.js.org/), which is specified in the `peerDependencies` property. This means that you will have to make sure to add both of them to your `package.json` using `npm install @popperjs/core`. When all will be completed, your project will be structured like this: ```text project-name/ ├── build/ ├── node_modules/ │ └── bootstrap/ │ └── popper.js/ ├── scss/ │ └── custom.scss ├── src/ │ └── index.html │ └── index.js └── package.json ``` ## Importing JavaScript Import [Bootstrap's JavaScript]({{< docsref "/getting-started/javascript" >}}) in your app's entry point (usually `src/index.js`). You can import all our plugins in one file or separately if you require only a subset of them. ```js // Import all plugins import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap'; // Or import only needed plugins import { Tooltip as Tooltip, Toast as Toast, Popover as Popover } from 'bootstrap'; // Or import just one import Alert as Alert from '../node_modules/bootstrap/js/dist/alert'; ``` ## Importing CSS To utilize the full potential of Bootstrap and customize it to your needs, use the source files as a part of your project's bundling process. Create your own `scss/custom.scss` to [import Bootstrap's Sass files]({{< docsref "/customize/sass#importing" >}}) and then override the [built-in custom variables]({{< docsref "/customize/sass#variable-defaults" >}}). ## Build app Include `src/index.js` before the closing `
` tag. ```html
