bootstrap - AngularJS directives specific to twitter bootstrap

Demo

Do you want to see directives in action? Visit http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/!

Installation

Installation is easy as angular-ui-bootstrap has minimal dependencies - only the AngularJS and Bootstrap's CSS are required. After downloading dependencies (or better yet, referencing them from your favourite CDN) you need to download build version of this project. All the files and their purposes are described here: https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/tree/gh-pages#build-files Don't worry, if you are not sure which file to take, opt for ui-bootstrap-tpls-[version].min.js.

When you are done downloading all the dependencies and project files the only remaining part is to add dependencies on the ui.bootstrap AngularJS module:

angular.module('myModule', ['ui.bootstrap']);

Project files are also available through your favourite package manager:

Bower: bower install angular-bootstrap
NuGet: https://nuget.org/packages/Angular.UI.Bootstrap/

Project philosophy

Native, lightweight directives

We are aiming at providing a set of AngularJS directives based on Twitter Bootstrap's markup and CSS. The goal is to provide native AngularJS directives without any dependency on jQuery or Bootstrap's JavaScript. It is often better to rewrite an existing JavaScript code and create a new, pure AngularJS directive. Most of the time the resulting directive is smaller as compared to the orginal JavaScript code size and better integrated into the AngularJS ecosystem.

Customizability

All the directives in this repository should have their markup externalized as templates (loaded via templateUrl). In practice it means that you can customize directive's markup at will. One could even imagine providing a non-Boostrap version of the templates!

Take what you need and not more

Each directive has its own AngularJS module without any dependencies on other modules or third-pary JavaScript code. In practice it means that you can just grab the code for the directives you need and you are not obliged to drag the whole repository.

Quality and stability

Directives should work. All the time and in all browsers. This is why all the directives have a comprehensive suite of unit tests. All the automated tests are executed on each checkin in several browsers: Chrome, ChromeCanary, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE9. In fact we are fortunate enough to benefit from the same testing infrastructure as AngularJS!

Contributing to the project

We are always looking for the quality contributions! Please check the CONTRIBUTING.md for the contribution guidelines.

Development

Prepare your environment

Install Node.js and NPM (should come with)
Install global dev dependencies: npm install -g grunt-cli karma
Instal local dev dependencies: npm install while current directory is bootstrap repo

Build

Build the whole project: grunt - this will run lint, test, and concat targets

Check the Grunt build file for other tasks that are defined for this project

TDD

Run test: grunt watch

This will start Karma server and will continously watch files in the project, executing tests upon every change.

Release

Bump up version number in package.json
Commit the version change with the following message: chore(release): [versio number]
tag
push changes and a tag (git push --tags)
switch to the gh-pages branch: git checkout gh-pages
copy content of the dist folder to the main folder
Commit the version change with the following message: chore(release): [versio number]
push changes
switch back to the main branch and modify package.json to bump up version for the next iteration
commit (chore(release): starting [versio number]) and push
publish Bower and NuGet packages

Well done! (If you don't like repeating yourself open a PR with a grunt task taking care of the above!)
