Bootstrap

An introduction to using Bootstrap with Campsite.

Introduction to Bootstrap with Campsite

Bootstrap is a popular front-end framework that provides a set of CSS and JavaScript tools to help you build responsive websites quickly. CampsiteJS makes it easy to integrate Bootstrap into your projects, providing a seamless development experience.

Installing Bootstrap in Campsite

To get started with Bootstrap in your CampsiteJS project, follow these steps:

1. Install Bootstrap: Use npm or yarn to install Bootstrap and its dependencies.

   npm install bootstrap
   

   or

   yarn add bootstrap
   

2. Import Bootstrap Styles: In your main CSS file (e.g., src/styles/main.css), import Bootstrap’s CSS.

   @import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
   

3. Initialize Bootstrap JavaScript: In your main JavaScript file (e.g., src/scripts/main.js), import Bootstrap’s JavaScript components.

   import 'bootstrap';
   

Using Bootstrap in Your CampsiteJS Project

To use Bootstrap in your CampsiteJS project, simply add Bootstrap’s classes to your HTML or templating files. For example, you can create a button with Bootstrap classes like this:

<button class="btn btn-primary">
  Click Me
</button>

Customizing Bootstrap

You can customize Bootstrap by overriding its default variables in your own CSS or SCSS files. This allows you to change default colors, typography, and spacing. For example, to change the primary color, you can do the following:

$primary: #1DA1F2;
@import 'bootstrap/scss/bootstrap';

Building Your CSS and JavaScript

CampsiteJS automatically processes your Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript during the build process. You can run the development server with:

campsitejs dev

This will watch for changes in your CSS and HTML files, allowing you to see updates in real-time. When you’re ready to build your site for production, use:

campsitejs build

This will compile and optimize your CSS and JavaScript for deployment.
