Bootstrap CSS Quick Start with Example Codes

There is 2 different way for integrating Bootstrap CSS. One them is using CDN & Other one is download locally and then integrate.

Personally I always prefer to Download Bootstrap then integrate locally. It has lots of reasons, but I am not going to discuss those I will show 2 ways. You can choose which you prefer.


Download Bootstrap & Integrate Locally

Actually I am following the below directory structures for my project, if you want then can choose it, otherwise you can create by your own.

- project
    -- index.html
    -- pages (dir)
        --- other-pages.html
    -- assets (dir)
        --- css
        --- js
        --- fonts


Follow the Integration process

  • Go to https://getbootstrap.com/

  • Click to download

  • Find Compiled CSS and JS then click Download, Wait until the download complete

  • Extract the bootstrap-x.x.x-dist.zip archive

  • Then open bootstrap-x.x.x-dist >> css, find the file called bootstrap.min.css

  • Copy bootstrap.min.css and paste to project >> assets >> css

  • Then open bootstrap-x.x.x-dist >> js, find the file called bootstrap.bundle.min.js

  • Copy bootstrap.bundle.min.js and paste to project >> assets >> js

  • Create a file called index.html and add the below codes. You may follow our HTML Tutorial for more understanding

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link href="assets/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

    <title>Bootstrap Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Bootstrap Bismillah Template</h1>
    <script src="assets/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>


Bootstrap Integration Using CDN CSS & JS

  • Create an index-cdn.html file with the below codes.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>Bootstrap Tutorial</title>
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-T3c6CoIi6uLrA9TneNEoa7RxnatzjcDSCmG1MXxSR1GAsXEV/Dwwykc2MPK8M2HN" crossorigin="anonymous">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Bootstrap Bismillah Template</h1>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-C6RzsynM9kWDrMNeT87bh95OGNyZPhcTNXj1NW7RuBCsyN/o0jlpcV8Qyq46cDfL" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  </body>
</html>
