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:
