Introduction

Get started with Bootstrap, the world's most popular framework for building responsive, mobile-first sites, with the Bootstrap CDN and a template starter page.

Quick start

Looking to quickly add Bootstrap to your project? Use the Bootstrap CDN, provided for free by the folks at MaxCDN. Using a package manager or need to download the source files? Head to the downloads page.

CSS

Copy-paste the stylesheet <link> into your <head> before all other stylesheets to load our CSS.

<!-- CSS Files -->
<link href="../assets/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="../assets/css/now-ui-kit.css?v=1.2.0" rel="stylesheet" />

JS

Many of our components require the use of JavaScript to function. Specifically, they require jQuery, Popper.js, and our own JavaScript plugins. Place the following <script>s near the end of your pages, right before the closing </body> tag, to enable them. jQuery must come first, then Popper.js, and then our JavaScript plugins.

We use jQuery’s slim build, but the full version is also supported.

<!-- Plugins -->

<!--   Core JS Files   -->
<script src="../assets/js/core/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../assets/js/core/popper.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../assets/js/core/bootstrap.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<!-- Control Center for Now Ui Kit: parallax effects, scripts for the example pages etc -->
<script src="../assets/js/now-ui-kit.js?v=1.2.0" type="text/javascript"></script>

Curious which components explicitly require jQuery, our JS, and Popper.js? Click the show components link below. If you’re at all unsure about the general page structure, keep reading for an example page template.

Show components requiring JavaScript

Alerts for dismissing
Buttons for toggling states and checkbox/radio functionality
Carousel for all slide behaviors, controls, and indicators
Collapse for toggling visibility of content
Dropdowns for displaying and positioning (also requires Popper.js)
Modals for displaying, positioning, and scroll behavior
Navbar for extending our Collapse plugin to implement responsive behavior
Tooltips and popovers for displaying and positioning (also requires Popper.js)
Scrollspy for scroll behavior and navigation updates

Starter template

Be sure to have your pages set up with the latest design and development standards. That means using an HTML5 doctype and including a viewport meta tag for proper responsive behaviors. Put it all together and your pages should look like this:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="../assets/img/apple-icon.png">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="../assets/img/favicon.png">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
    <title>Now UI Kit by Creative Tim</title>
    <meta content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0, shrink-to-fit=no' name='viewport' />
