bootstrapvue

BootstrapVue is a Vue.js component library that provides Bootstrap 4 components and the grid system for Vue applications. It combines Bootstrap’s styling with Vue components, enabling developers to use Bootstrap-styled UI elements through Vue templates and directives. The library includes components that wrap Bootstrap elements such as buttons, cards, forms, navs, modals, alerts, and more, along with layout components like container, row, and col.

Key features include a large component set, a responsive grid, form controls, navigation, feedback widgets, and data display components. Accessible by default, BootstrapVue components integrate Bootstrap’s CSS, ensuring consistent visual design. Theming is supported via Bootstrap’s Sass variables and utilities, allowing branding through existing Bootstrap theming workflows.

Installation commonly involves npm install bootstrap-vue bootstrap, importing Bootstrap’s CSS, and registering the plugin in a Vue app, for example: import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; import 'bootstrap-vue/dist/bootstrap-vue.css'; import BootstrapVue from 'bootstrap-vue'; Vue.use(BootstrapVue).

Compatibility and scope: BootstrapVue largely targets Vue 2.x. For Vue 3, official support is not provided in the main project, with community efforts and ported projects offering BootstrapVue-like functionality for Vue 3. The library has been widely used to bring Bootstrap styling into Vue applications, though users should verify compatibility with their chosen Vue version and Bootstrap release.
