React Bootstrap

The most popular CSS framework for responsive layouts is Bootstrap. This open-source toolkit includes Sass variables, a responsive grid framework, and a large number of JavaScript plugins. It has now been redesigned in React so that it can work with React apps. Bootstrap 4 relies on jQuery, however, jQuery isn’t ideal for React because it manipulates the DOM directly, whereas React works with a virtual DOM. Because React Bootstrap effectively replaces Bootstrap JavaScript, each component has been redesigned to work seamlessly with React.

Why React Bootstrap?

React-Bootstrap is a React-based reimplementation of the Bootstrap components. It doesn’t require either bootstrap.js or jQuery. You already have everything you need if you have React and React-Bootstrap installed.

Installing React Bootstrap: We can install it using npm or yarn.

npm install react-bootstrap

Now let’s understand the working of React Bootstrap using an example.

Creating react app: To build a react application follow the below steps:

Step 1: Create a react application using the following command  

npx create-react-app foldername

Step 2: Once it is done change your directory to the newly created application using the following command  

cd foldername

Step 3: Install Bootstrap dependency

npm install bootstrap

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Example: In this example, we will create an animated progress bar using react-bootstrap.

App.js

import Progress from "./Progress";
function App() {
return (
    <div className="App">
    <Progress />
    </div>
);
}

export default App;
