Each and every component has been built from scratch without any dependencies on jQuery. It has advanced itself in the years and has become the best option for User Interface Foundation. Using Bootstrap Stylesheet, it can use all of the bootstrap schemes which are required to make the website wonderful. Every function is totally controlled by React making it more accessible.

2. Adding bootstrap in react with help of bootstrap dependency installation
It is installed with npm:
npm install bootstrap
npm install jquery popper.js
Our index.js file includes:
import "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
Now let’s code:
Components inside public folder:
- index.html
Components inside src folder:
- components folder
- index.js
- styles.css
Components inside components folder:
- templates folder
- HelloWorld.js
Components inside templates folder:
- HelloWorldHtml.jsx
a. HelloWorldHtml.jsx
Code:
import React from "react";
export const HelloWorldHtml = () => {
return (
<div className="col-6 bg-light mx-auto text-center">
<h1>Ciao!</h1>
<p>Let’s Explore</p>
<button className="btn btn-dark">Click to Proceed</button>
</div>
);
};
b. HelloWorld.js
Code:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { HelloWorldHtml } from "./templates/HelloWorldHtml.jsx";
class HelloWorld extends Component {
render() {
return <HelloWorldHtml />;
}
}
export default HelloWorld;
c. index.js
Code:
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import bootstrap from "bootstrap";
import "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
import HelloWorld from "./components/HelloWorld";
function App() {
return (
<div className="container">
<HelloWorld />
</div>
);
}
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
d. styles.css
e. index.html
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta
name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no"

3. Adding bootstrap in react with the help of bootstrap CDN
It is the easiest way to add bootstrap. Like any other CDN, CDN in index.html of the public folder or react project.
Below is the CDN url used in index.html file:
<link rel=”manifest” href=”%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json”>
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico”>
Components/files used:
- Hello.js
- index.html
- index.js
a. Hello.js
Code:
import React from 'react';
export default ({ name }) => <h1>Welcome {name}!</h1>;
b. index.html
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#f082ff">
<link rel="manifest" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico">
<title>React BootStrap CDN App</title>
</head>
<body>

const styles = {
fontFamily: 'times',
textAlign: 'center',
};
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div style={styles}>
<Hello name="Coder" />
<h2>{'\u2725'} Here Magic Happens with Coding {'\u2725'}</h2>
