Bootstrap in a Nutshell
Simone Chiaretta · 2018
This chapter introduces Bootstrap, discusses some of its features, and describes how to use it with ASP.NET Core and Visual Studio 2017. Bootstrap styles can be broadly grouped into these categories: grid system; typography; tables; forms; and buttons. Bootstrap is built with Less, one of the CSS pre-processing languages. The Bootstrap official website provides a customization page that allows developers to change the default styles of the framework. Bootstrap is basically made of three different types of features, namely Core CSS classes, components, and JavaScript plugins. The functionality of the Bootstrap plugin is pretty basic: It displays and closes the modal dialog. Some of the plugins are automatically used to bring some of the components, like the dropdown menu or tabbed navigation, to life. Both tooltips and popovers can be configured either with JavaScript or via markup similarly to the other plugins.
