Readme

reactstrap

Stateless React Components for Bootstrap.

Getting Started

Follow the create-react-app instructions to get started and then follow the reactstrap version of adding bootstrap.

tl;dr

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app/
npm start

or, if npx (Node >= 6 and npm >= 5.2 ) not available

npm install -g create-react-app

create-react-app my-app
cd my-app/
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000/ to see your app. The initial structure of your app is setup. Next, let's add reactstrap and bootstrap.

Adding Bootstrap

Install reactstrap and Bootstrap from NPM. Reactstrap does not include Bootstrap CSS so this needs to be installed as well:

npm i bootstrap
npm i reactstrap react react-dom

Import Bootstrap CSS in the src/index.js file:

import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

Import required reactstrap components within src/App.js file or your custom component files:

import { Button } from 'reactstrap';

Now you are ready to use the imported reactstrap components within your component hierarchy defined in the render method. Here is an example App.js redone using reactstrap.

Dependencies

Required Peer Dependencies

These libraries are not bundled with Reactstrap and required at runtime:

About the Project

This library contains React Bootstrap components that favor composition and control. The library does not depend on jQuery or Bootstrap javascript. However, Poppers.js via react-popper is relied upon for advanced positioning of content like Tooltips, Popovers, and auto-flipping Dropdowns.

There are a few core concepts to understand in order to make the most out of this library.

Your content is expected to be composed via props.children rather than using named props to pass in Components.

// Content passed in via props
const Example = (props) => {
  return (
    <p>This is a tooltip <TooltipTrigger tooltip={TooltipContent}>example</TooltipTrigger>!</p>
  );
}

// Content passed in as children (Preferred)
const PreferredExample = (props) => {
  return (
    <p>
      This is a <a href="#" id="TooltipExample">tooltip</a> example.
      <Tooltip target="TooltipExample">
        <TooltipContent/>
      </Tooltip>
    </p>
  );
}

Attributes in this library are used to pass in state, conveniently apply modifier classes, enable advanced functionality (like tether), or automatically include non-content based elements.

Examples:
- isOpen - current state for items like dropdown, popover, tooltip
- toggle - callback for toggling isOpen in the controlling component
- color - applies color classes, ex: <Button color="danger"/>
- size - for controlling size classes. ex: <Button size="sm"/>
- tag - customize component output by passing in an element name or Component
- boolean based props (attributes) when possible for alternative style classes or visually-hidden content

Releasing

Create Release Branch

Note: you must have the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable set to a valid GitHub token with write access to your repo.

To create a release branch and changelog, run the following command, optionally with a semantic release type (major, minor, patch) (if not provided, it will default to semver (it's best to let it default)):

./scripts/release <release-type>

Verify changelog in branch. Create a PR if everything looks good. Merge when tests are green.

Publishing

Note: you must have write permission to this repo do perform this action

Once the release branch is merged, create a release from the tag generated in the release step via the Github UI. This will trigger a github action to publish the new version to npm and deploy the updated docs to https://reactstrap.github.io/.
