Sveltestrap is a powerful library designed to help you integrate Bootstrap 5 components effortlessly into your Svelte applications. Forget about juggling component classes, JavaScript dependencies from Bootstrap, and the necessity of jQuery. Sveltestrap has your back, allowing you to focus on creating beautiful UIs in a simplified manner.
Why Use Sveltestrap?
For those familiar with React, Sveltestrap is inspired by reactstrap. It simplifies the use of Bootstrap components while remaining open-source under the permissive MIT license.
Keep in mind that while Sveltestrap streamlines the process of using Bootstrap components, it does not automatically include Bootstrap styles. You’ll need to follow a few simple steps to incorporate Bootstrap into your project.
Installation Guide
To set up Sveltestrap, follow these easy installation steps, utilizing your preferred package manager:
- With npm:
npm install svelte @sveltestrap/sveltestrap - With pnpm:
pnpm install svelte @sveltestrap/sveltestrap - With yarn:
yarn add svelte @sveltestrap/sveltestrap
Adding Bootstrap CSS
It’s crucial to include Bootstrap styles in your application to make Sveltestrap components look their best. Here are four methods to achieve that:
- Add it directly to your app’s static
index.htmlfile: - Include it in your main
App.sveltefile: - Import the styles directly in your CSS bundle:
- Use the provided Styles component:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<svelte:head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</svelte:head>
@import "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
import Styles from "@sveltestrap/sveltestrap";
Using Sveltestrap Components
Now that Bootstrap styles are added, you can easily utilize Sveltestrap components in your Svelte application. Here’s how you can implement a simple button:
import { Button, Col, Row } from "@sveltestrap/sveltestrap";
Incorporating Bootstrap Icons
If you want to use Bootstrap Icon components, you also need to include the Bootstrap Icon CSS. You can do this similarly by including it in your App.svelte or index.html files:
<svelte:head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap-icons@1.10.5/font/bootstrap-icons.css">
</svelte:head>
Troubleshooting
Here are a few troubleshooting tips you might find helpful:
- If your components aren’t rendering correctly, double-check that you’ve added the Bootstrap CSS correctly.
- If you encounter any errors related to Sapper, it’s recommended to import components from the source directly.
