ngx-bootstrap

ngx-bootstrap Overview

ngx-bootstrap is something you will reach for often in UI libraries. It keeps your workflow predictable and makes your intent obvious to reviewers and teammates.

When you learn ngx-bootstrap properly, you avoid the guesswork that leads to mistakes and rework. The example below shows the shape you will use in most real UI libraries projects.

<!-- Bootstrap component classes -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>

<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  Saved successfully.
</div>

Bootstrap ships ready-made component classes you drop straight into your HTML.

ngx-bootstrap Example

// install, import, and use a component
// npm install <library>
import { Button } from '<library>';

<Button variant="primary">Click me</Button>
