How Do I Import Components From React Bootstrap?

Published in React 1 min read

To use React Bootstrap components in your React application, you need to import them into your project. Here's how:

1. Install React Bootstrap:

First, you need to install React Bootstrap using npm or yarn:

npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap

2. Import Components:

Once installed, you can import individual components into your React components:

import { Button, Navbar, Container } from 'react-bootstrap';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Navbar bg="light" expand="lg">
      <Container>
        <Navbar.Brand href="#home">My App</Navbar.Brand>
        <Button variant="primary">Learn More</Button>
      </Container>
    </Navbar>
  );
}

In this example, we import the Button, Navbar, and Container components from react-bootstrap. You can then use these components like any other React component.

3. Use CSS:

React Bootstrap uses Bootstrap's CSS framework for styling. You can include Bootstrap's CSS in your project by:

  • Importing it directly:
      <link
        rel="stylesheet"
        href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
        integrity="sha384-xOolHFLEhcuI7m18+En+7Jkc69r5t+3uKZWx22tmIHmN1fGh+sldgF+biG1"
        crossorigin="anonymous"
      />
  • Using a CDN:
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
  • Including it in your project:
      npm install bootstrap

4. Explore React Bootstrap Documentation:

For a complete list of available components and their usage, refer to the official React Bootstrap documentation:
