Bootstrap Toolkit Overview

In our ft_transcendence project we use the Bootstrap toolkit. Bootstrap is an open-source, front-end framework designed to streamline the development of responsive, mobile-first web applications. Initially created by Twitter in 2011, it provides a collection of pre-designed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components to build consistent, visually appealing user interfaces.

Key Features

• Responsive Grid System: A flexible 12-column grid for creating layouts that adapt to various screen sizes.
• Pre-Styled Components: Includes buttons, forms, navigation bars, modals, and more, reducing the need for custom CSS.
• JavaScript Plugins: Offers interactive features like carousels, dropdowns, and tooltips, powered by jQuery or native JavaScript in newer versions.
• Customizable: Easily modified via CSS variables, Sass, or custom themes to match project needs.
• Cross-Browser Compatibility: Ensures consistent rendering across modern browsers.

Benefits

• Speed: Accelerates development with ready-to-use components and utilities.
• Consistency: Maintains uniform design across projects.
• Community and Documentation: Extensive resources, tutorials, and a large community for support.

Usage

Bootstrap can be included via CDN or installed locally (e.g., via npm). It’s ideal for rapid prototyping or full-scale web projects, such as this one.

Example inclusion via CDN:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
