What's included

Bootstrap Essentials is downloadable in two forms, within which you'll find the following directories and files, logically grouping common resources and providing both compiled and minified variations.

jQuery required

Please note that all JavaScript plugins included in Bootstrap Essentials requires jQuery, as shown in the starter template.

Precompiled Bootstrap

Once downloaded, unzip the compressed folder to see the structure of (the compiled) Bootstrap Essentials. You'll see something like this:

bootstrap-essentials/
├── css/
│   ├── bootstrap-essentials.css
│   ├── bootstrap-essentials.css.map
│   ├── bootstrap-essentials.min.css
│   └── bootstrap-essentials.min.css.map
└── js/
    ├── bootstrap-essentials.js
    └── bootstrap-essentials.min.js
   

Place the included css and js files along with bootstrap.css and bootstap.js. We provide compiled CSS and JS (bootstrap-essentials.*), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (bootstrap-essentials.min.*). CSS source maps (bootstrap-essentials.*.map) are available for use with certain browsers' developer tools.

Bootstrap Essentials source code

The Bootstrap Essentials source code download includes the precompiled CSS and JavaScript, along with source SCSS and JavaScript. More specifically, it includes the following:


bootstrap/
├── scss/
├── js/
└── dist/
    ├── css/
    └── js/

The scss/ and js/ are the source code for our CSS and JS (respectively). The dist/ folder includes everything listed in the precompiled download section above. The docs/ folder includes the source code for our documentation, and examples/ of Bootstrap usage. Beyond that, any other included file provides support for packages, license information, and development.
