Integrating Bootstrap 5 or Bootstrap 4 components into your Angular application has never been easier, thanks to ngx-bootstrap. This library allows you to use Bootstrap’s powerful components without having to include original JavaScript components, streamlining your development process.

Getting Started

If you’re new to Angular Bootstrap, take a look at the Getting Started guide.

Installation

You can set up ngx-bootstrap in a few simple steps:

• Using Angular CLI: Run this command to add ngx-bootstrap to your project:

ng add ngx-bootstrap

• Manually using npm:
  • Install ngx-bootstrap via npm:

  npm install ngx-bootstrap --save

  • Add the desired package in your NgModule imports:

  import { TooltipModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/tooltip';
  @NgModule({
    ...
    imports: [TooltipModule.forRoot(), ...]
  })

• Add Bootstrap CSS: Include the Bootstrap CSS file directly in your index.html file, or through a styles import in the angular.json file.

Code Explanation with an Analogy

Think of ngx-bootstrap as a universal remote control for your television, allowing you to operate different devices (Bootstrap components) without needing multiple remotes (separate JavaScript files). Instead of fetching each component’s control (JavaScript behavior) individually, you get them all at once, simplifying the experience and reducing clutter!
