Replacing Tailwind CSS with Bootstrap

Sage 10 ships with Tailwind CSS, but many users may wish to use Bootstrap, or another CSS framework.

Removing Tailwind CSS

1. Remove Tailwind dependencies

Remove the @roots/bud-tailwindcss extension:

yarn remove @roots/bud-tailwindcss

2. Remove Tailwind from your CSS

Open resources/styles/app.css and delete the following lines:

@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';

3. Delete the Tailwind config file

Delete tailwind.config.cjs from your theme.

4. Remove the Tailwind theme.json generator from the Bud config

Open bud.config.js from your theme and remove the following lines:

-      .useTailwindColors()
-      .useTailwindFontFamily()
-      .useTailwindFontSize()

Adding Bootstrap

1. Install native support for Sass

Add the @roots/bud-sass extension:

yarn add @roots/bud-sass --dev

Note: Verify that all Bud packages and the @roots/sage package versions are the same in your package.json to prevent build errors.

2. Install Bootstrap

Add Bootstrap as a dependency:

yarn add bootstrap --dev

Optional: Install Popper

To avoid an ugly error message in Bud about missing dependencies, add Popper as a dependency:

yarn add @popperjs/core --dev

3. Import Bootstrap's Javascript

Open resources/scripts/app.js and add:

// Import Bootstrap
import 'bootstrap';

4. Import Bootstrap styles

In the resources/styles directory, rename app.css to app.scss and rename editor.css to editor.scss.

Open your theme's newly renamed resources/styles/app.scss and add the following lines:

@import "bootstrap";

Note: You may wish to import only the parts of Bootstrap you plan to use in your theme. You can learn more about importing just the parts you need here.
