The Twitter Bootstrap extension for Yii framework 2.0 encapsulates Bootstrap 3 components and plugins in terms of Yii widgets, making it extremely easy to use Bootstrap components and plugins in Yii applications.

For license information check the LICENSE file. Documentation is available at docs/guide/README.md.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer. Follow the steps below:

• You can run the following command in your terminal:

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap

• Alternatively, add the following line to the require section of your composer.json file:

"yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap": "~2.0.0"

Usage

Using the Bootstrap extension in your Yii application is as easy as pie! For instance, if you want to render a Bootstrap Progress plugin, you only need a single line of code in your view file:

echo yii\bootstrap\Progress::widget(['percent' => 60, 'label' => 'test']);

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Imagine you’re at a restaurant where the chef (in this case, the Bootstrap library) has an extensive menu (the various components and plugins available). However, the waiter (Yii framework) simplifies your experience. Instead of asking for each dish directly from the chef, you communicate through the waiter, who understands both your desires and the chef’s menu. The single line of code you write essentially represents you placing an order for a Progress bar instead of dealing with the complexity of cooking it yourself. The waiter handles the interaction, gets the chef to prepare it, and brings you your dish – it’s all very seamless!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during installation or usage, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have the latest version of Composer installed on your system.
• Check that your Yii framework is properly configured and compatible with the Bootstrap extension.
• Double-check your code for any syntax errors or typos in the widget usage.
