You want to make lists of content/images that look like responsive Bootstrap grids, carousels, tabs of content, and the like. This group of Views module styles will do that.
This module enables you to create components following the theme structure of the Bootstrap 3.x framework all within the configuration settings of the powerful Views module.
IMPORTANT: If you are not using a bootstrap theme you must check "Include Bootstrap CSS & JS when used by Views" on the config page for this module.

Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules
-
Check config options at: admin/config/user-interface/views_bootstrap
The following components of this module have been tested to have a working Views configuration:
- Accordion
- Carousel
- Grid
- Media Object
- Tab
- Table
- Thumbnails
There are a lot of configurations that do not work due to incompatibility. For example, making an accordion of one field does not work. (these require a click-able title and hidden body content). Making a table of one content teaser not work (tables consist of fields in rows).
Some functionality not working -- see chart at bottom.
Knowledge of how to use different Views formats is required. You may have to write CSS or Javascript to make it look just like you want it to.
Javascript is required for some and accessibility is not guaranteed and Internet Explorer 8/9/older browser support is not supported for all components.
To become familiar with what this module provides:

This does not require a Bootstrap based theme if you configure this module's settings correctly.
If you do not use a Boostrap based theme, this module loads in Bootstrap 3.3.6 Javascript and CSS from an external CDN.

Views module enabled. Having a Bootstrap 3.x based theme helps, but there is a module setting for that in this version of the module.

This module is very similar in functionality to it's Drupal counterpart, however the files have been reorganized a bit. Be sure to check the configuration page if you are not using a Bootstrap theme: admin/config/user-interface/views_bootstrap
Setup your options in the Views module. Where you would once choose "List, Table"...now you can also choose "Bootstrap Carousel, Boostrap Grid" etc...
"What is the difference between using a Bootstrap based theme for your website and using this module?"
Let's take the use-case of making a "Pinterest-style", responsive card style listing of content on your front page. On large screens, you want it to be 4 columns wide with a sidebar on the right side. On smaller screens, it should be 2 columns wide with a sidebar on the right side. On a small screen, it should be 1 column wide with the sidebar underneath. Using something like Bartik theme, you can install this module, select it, and it will happen, but the rest of the page will look like Bartik (or your theme). If you were using something like Radix theme, the theme would look like Bootstrap but you would have to manually add the grid classes to your "cards" in your theme files to make the same effect.

This module provides some format options for your Backdrop Views based on what you might see at http://getbootstrap.com/components . 2/29/16 Here is a list so far of what the output of each option is: Can we fix them all? Maybe, this is just the progress so far.
ACCORDION content - full content = nothing content - teaser = nothing content - full content force using fields = nothing
- fields - select content title - disable link this field to the original piece of content = accordion
CAROUSEL carousel - full content = nothing
- carousel - force using fields = image rotator thumbnail = dual image rotator
- content - full content = content rotator (needs styling) content - teaser = teaser rotator content - full content force using fields = page showing the first node
- fields - select content title - disable link this field to the original piece of content = list of fields rotator
GRID thumbnail = nothing thumbnail - force using fields = mis-aligned card type setup
- content - full content = responsive grid like traditional Bootstrap http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid content - teaser = responsive grid without images (more grid like) content - full content force using fields = unpredictable grid
- fields - fields = responsive grid (looks different depending on your fields)
LIST GROUP thumbnail = looks like accordion with no text and direct links to the home page
- thumbnail - force using fields = boxed nodes...traditional table style? content - full content = it's something? content - teaser = it's something? content - full content force using fields = it's something?
- fields - select content title - disable link this field to the original piece of content = it's something?
MEDIA OBJECT thumbnail = nothing
- thumbnail - force using fields = looks like Twitter layout using thumbnails content - full content = nothing content - teaser = nothing content - full content force using fields = nothing
- fields = looks like Twitter layout using thumbnails
TAB thumbnail = nothing thumbnail - force using fields = nothing content - full content = working tabs missing tab title text content - teaser = nothing
- content - full content force using fields = nice tabs or pills or lists
- fields = nice tabs or pills or lists
