Getting Started
ngx-bootstrap contains all core (and not only) Bootstrap components powered by Angular. So you don't need to include original JS components, but we are using markup and css provided by Bootstrap.
Installation instructions
Method 1
Install ngx-bootstrap
from npm
:
npm install ngx-bootstrap --save
Add needed package to NgModule imports:
import { TooltipModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/tooltip';
@NgModule({
...
imports: [TooltipModule.forRoot(),...]
...
})
Add component to your page:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"
tooltip="Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus.">
Simple demo
</button>
You will need bootstrap styles:
<!-- index.html -->
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!--- index.html -->
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Method 2
Use the Angular CLI ng add command for updating your Angular project
ng add ngx-bootstrap
OR use ng add
to add needed component (for example tooltip)
ng add ngx-bootstrap --component tooltip
Add component to your page:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"
tooltip="Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus.">
Simple demo
</button>
Setting up the bootstrap version manually
Sometimes, your project might contain some library that could interfear with the bootstrap framework, or you might have a customized version of bootstrap. The consequence is that the process of determining bootstrap version might be failed, which can break the UI. In that case, we can still set the bootstrap version manually in the boostraping component (i.e. AppComonent
):
import { setTheme } from 'ngx-bootstrap/utils';
@Component({...})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() {
setTheme('bs3'); // or 'bs4'
...
}
}

How to use it with:
How to build lib for development
First time:
- clone repository
npm install
npm run build
To update your fork and prepare it for local usage:
git pull upstream development
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm run build
To run the demo:
npm run demo.serve
// to serve local demo. This is for testing only, without watchers.
For local development run:
npm run build.watch
// in first terminalng serve
// in second
If you want to run the demo with Angular Universal:
npm run demo.serve-universal
Troubleshooting
So if you are in trouble, here's where you can look for help.
The best place to ask questions is on StackOverflow (under the ngx-bootstrap
tag)
You can also join our Slack channel and link your stackoverflow question there. But try to avoid asking generic help questions directly on Slack since they can easily get lost in the chat. You can also search among the existing GitHub issues.
If, and only if, none of the above helped, please open a new issue.
