# Bootstrap for Sass
[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/bootstrap-sass.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/bootstrap-sass)
[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/bootstrap-sass.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bootstrap-sass)
[![Bower Version](https://badge.fury.io/bo/bootstrap-sass.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/bo/bootstrap-sass)
[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/twbs/bootstrap-sass.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/twbs/bootstrap-sass)
`bootstrap-sass` is a Sass-powered version of [Bootstrap](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap) 3, ready to drop right into your Sass powered applications.
This is Bootstrap 3. For Bootstrap 4 use the [Bootstrap Ruby gem](http://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem) if you use Ruby, and the [main repo](http://github.com/twbs/bootstrap) otherwise.
## Installation
Please see the appropriate guide for your environment of choice:
* [Ruby on Rails](#a-ruby-on-rails).
* [Compass](#b-compass-without-rails) not on Rails.
* [Bower](#c-bower).
### a. Ruby on Rails
`bootstrap-sass` is easy to drop into Rails with the asset pipeline.
In your Gemfile you need to add the `bootstrap-sass` gem, and ensure that the `sass-rails` gem is present - it is added to new Rails applications by default.
```ruby
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.3.6'
gem 'sass-rails', '>= 3.2'
```
`bundle install` and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline.
Import Bootstrap styles in `app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss`:
```scss
// "bootstrap-sprockets" must be imported before "bootstrap" and "bootstrap/variables"
@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap";
```
`bootstrap-sprockets` must be imported before `bootstrap` for the icon fonts to work.
Make sure the file has `.scss` extension (or `.sass` for Sass syntax). If you have just generated a new Rails app,
it may come with a `.css` file instead. If this file exists, it will be served instead of Sass, so rename it:
```console
$ mv app/assets/stylesheets/application.css app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss
```
Then, remove all the `*= require_self` and `*= require_tree .` statements from the sass file. Instead, use `@import` to import Sass files.
Do not use `*= require` in Sass or your other stylesheets will not be [able to access][antirequire] the Bootstrap mixins or variables.
Require Bootstrap Javascripts in `app/assets/javascripts/application.js`:
```js
//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
```
`bootstrap-sprockets` and `bootstrap` [should not both be included](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/issues/829#issuecomment-75153827) in `application.js`.
`bootstrap-sprockets` provides individual Bootstrap Javascript files (`alert.js` or `dropdown.js`, for example), while
`bootstrap` provides a concatenated file containing all Bootstrap Javascripts.
#### Bower with Rails
When using [bootstrap-sass Bower package](#c-bower) instead of the gem in Rails, configure assets in `config/application.rb`:
```ruby
# Bower asset paths
root.join('vendor', 'assets', 'bower_components').to_s.tap do |bower_path|
config.sass.load_paths << bower_path
config.assets.paths << bower_path
end
# Precompile Bootstrap fonts
config.assets.precompile << %r(bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/[\w-]+\.(?:eot|svg|ttf|woff2?)$)
# Minimum Sass number precision required by bootstrap-sass
::Sass::Script::Value::Number.precision = [8, ::Sass::Script::Value::Number.precision].max
```
Replace Bootstrap `@import` statements in `application.scss` with:
```scss
$icon-font-path: "bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/";
@import "bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap";
```
Replace Bootstrap `require` directive in `application.js` with:
```js
//= require bootstrap-sass/assets/javascripts/bootstrap-sprockets
```
#### Rails 4.x
Please make sure `sprockets-rails` is at least v2.1.4.
#### Rails 3.2.x
bootstrap-sass is no longer compatible with Rails 3. The latest version of bootstrap-sass compatible with Rails 3.2 is v3.1.1.0.
### b. Compass without Rails
Install the gem:
```console
$ gem install bootstrap-sass
```
If you have an existing Compass project:
1. Require `bootstrap-sass` in `config.rb`:
```ruby
require 'bootstrap-sass'
```
2. Install Bootstrap with:
```console
$ bundle exec compass install bootstrap -r bootstrap-sass
```
If you are creating a new Compass project, you can generate it with bootstrap-sass support:
```console
$ bundle exec compass create my-new-project -r bootstrap-sass --using bootstrap
```
or, alternatively, if you're not using a Gemfile for your dependencies:
```console
$ compass create my-new-project -r bootstrap-sass --using bootstrap
```
This will create a new Compass project with the following files in it:
* [styles.sass](/templates/project/styles.sass) - main project Sass file, imports Bootstrap and variables.
* [_bootstrap-variables.sass](/templates/project/_bootstrap-variables.sass) - all of Bootstrap variables, override them here.
Some bootstrap-sass mixins may conflict with the Compass ones.
If this happens, change the import order so that Compass mixins are loaded later.
### c. Bower
bootstrap-sass Bower package is compatible with node-sass 3.2.0+. You can install it with:
```console
$ bower install bootstrap-sass
```
Sass, JS, and all other assets are located at [assets](/assets).
By default, `bower.json` main field list only the main `_bootstrap.scss` and all the static assets (fonts and JS).
This is compatible by default with asset managers such as [wiredep](https://github.com/taptapship/wiredep).
#### Node.js Mincer
If you use [mincer][mincer] with node-sass, import bootstrap like so:
In `application.css.ejs.scss` (NB **.css.ejs.scss**):
```scss
// Import mincer asset paths helper integration
@import "bootstrap-mincer";
@import "bootstrap";
```
In `application.js`:
```js
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
```
See also this [example manifest.js](/test/dummy_node_mincer/manifest.js) for mincer.
### Configuration
#### Sass
By default all of Bootstrap is imported.
You can also import components explicitly. To start with a full list of modules copy
[`_bootstrap.scss`](assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss) file into your assets as `_bootstrap-custom.scss`.
Then comment out components you do not want from `_bootstrap-custom`.
In the application Sass file, replace `@import 'bootstrap'` with:
```scss
@import 'bootstrap-custom';
```
#### Sass: Number Precision
bootstrap-sass [requires](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/issues/409) minimum [Sass number precision][sass-precision] of 8 (default is 5).
Precision is set for Rails and Compass automatically.
When using ruby Sass compiler standalone or with the Bower version you can set it with:
```ruby
::Sass::Script::Value::Number.precision = [8, ::Sass::Script::Value::Number.precision].max
```
#### Sass: Autoprefixer
Bootstrap requires the use of [Autoprefixer][autoprefixer].
[Autoprefixer][autoprefixer] adds vendor prefixes to CSS rules using values from [Can I Use](http://caniuse.com/).
#### JavaScript
[`assets/javascripts/bootstrap.js`](/assets/javascripts/bootstrap.js) contains all of Bootstrap JavaScript,
concatenated in the [correct order](/assets/javascripts/bootstrap-sprockets.js).
#### JavaScript with Sprockets or Mincer
If you use Sprockets or Mincer, you can require `bootstrap-sprockets` instead to load the individual modules:
```js
// Load all Bootstrap JavaScript
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
```
You can also load individual modules, provided you also require any dependencies.
You can check dependencies in the [Bootstrap JS documentation][jsdocs].
```js
//= require bootstrap/scrollspy
//= require bootstrap/modal
//= require bootstrap/dropdown
```
#### Fonts
The fonts are referenced as:
```scss
"#{$icon-font-path}#{$icon-font-name}.eot"
```
`$icon-font-path` defaults to `bootstrap/` if asset path helpers are used, and `../fonts/bootstrap/` otherwise.
When using bootstrap-sass with Compass, Sprockets, or Mincer, you **must** import the relevant path helpers before Bootstrap itself, for example:
```scss
@import "bootstrap-compass";
@import "bootstrap";
```
## Usage
### Sass
Import Bootstrap into a Sass file (for example, application.scss) to get all of Bootstrap's styles, mixins and variables!
```scss
@import "bootstrap";
```
You can also include optional bootstrap theme:
```scss
@import "bootstrap/theme";
```
The full list of bootstrap variables can be found [here](http://getbootstrap.com/customize/#less-variables). You can override these by simply redefining the variable before the `@import` directive, e.g.:
```scss
$navbar-default-bg: #312312;
$light-orange: #ff8c00;
$navbar-default-color: $light-orange;
@import "bootstrap";
```
## Version
Bootstrap for Sass version may differ from the upstream version in the last number, known as
[PATCH](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). The patch version may be ahead of the corresponding upstream minor.
This happens when we need to release Sass-specific changes.
Before v3.3.2, Bootstrap for Sass version used to reflect the upstream version, with an additional number for
Sass-specific changes. This was changed due to Bower and npm compatibility issues.
The upstream versions vs the Bootstrap for Sass versions are:
| Upstream | Sass |
|---------:|--------:|
| 3.3.6 | 3.3.6 |
| 3.3.5 | 3.3.5 |
| 3.3.4 | 3.3.4 |
| 3.3.2 | 3.3.3 |
| <= 3.3.1 | 3.3.1.x |
Always refer to [CHANGELOG.md](/CHANGELOG.md) when upgrading.

## Development and Contributing
If you'd like to help with the development of bootstrap-sass itself, read this section.
### Upstream Converter
Keeping bootstrap-sass in sync with upstream changes from Bootstrap used to be an error prone and time consuming manual process. With Bootstrap 3 we have introduced a converter that automates this.
**Note: if you're just looking to *use* Bootstrap 3, see the [installation](#installation) section above.**
Upstream changes to the Bootstrap project can now be pulled in using the `convert` rake task.
Here's an example run that would pull down the master branch from the main [twbs/bootstrap](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap) repo:
rake convert
This will convert the latest LESS to Sass and update to the latest JS.
To convert a specific branch or version, pass the branch name or the commit hash as the first task argument:
rake convert[e8a1df5f060bf7e6631554648e0abde150aedbe4]
The latest converter script is located [here][converter] and does the following:
* Converts upstream bootstrap LESS files to its matching SCSS file.
* Copies all upstream JavaScript into `assets/javascripts/bootstrap`, a Sprockets manifest at `assets/javascripts/bootstrap-sprockets.js`, and a concatenation at `assets/javascripts/bootstrap.js`.
* Copies all upstream font files into `assets/fonts/bootstrap`.
* Sets `Bootstrap::BOOTSTRAP_SHA` in [version.rb][version] to the branch sha.
This converter fully converts original LESS to SCSS. Conversion is automatic but requires instructions for certain transformations (see converter output).
Please submit GitHub issues tagged with `conversion`.
