bootstrap3: A JavaScript repository from huttonr

Bootstrap 3 for Meteor

Modular, configurable, customizable.

How to use

In your Meteor project, create an empty file named bootstrap-settings.json and place it in any client folder.
Install package
```
 meteor add huttonr:bootstrap3
```

The package will automatically populate the bootstrap-settings.json file if it is empty.

For those newer to Meteor

Client folder means any folder in your Meteor project that is loaded on the client only. Per the Meteor documentation on file structure that would be any folder named client. The usual place to put files relating to style (such as Bootstrap) is client/stylesheets. All you have to do is make an empty file named bootstrap-settings.json and place it in client/stylesheets or some similar folder (you might have to make the folders).

Then go to your console and type meteor run and the huttonr:bootstrap3 package will automatically fill your bootstrap-settings.json file with all of the default settings. At this point you will be able to use bootstrap classes in your html files such as <div class="container jumbotron">Hello World</div> or <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"></span>.

Custom settings

The settings json file is automatically populated with the default settings, however each of these can be changed and individual modules can be turned on and off. The default bootstrap-settings.json file has the following structure:

{
  "less": {
    "customVariables": false,

    "exposeMixins": false,

    "compile": true,

    "modules": {
       "alerts": true,
       "badges": true,
       "breadcrumbs": true,
       "button-groups": true,
       "buttons": true,
       "carousel": true,
       "close": true,
       "code": true,
       "component-animations": true,
       "dropdowns": true,
       "forms": true,
       "glyphicons": true,
       "grid": true,
       "input-groups": true,
       "jumbotron": true,
       "labels": true,
       "list-group": true,
       "media": true,
       "modals": true,
       "navbar": true,
       "navs": true,
       "normalize": true,
       "pager": true,
       "pagination": true,
       "panels": true,
       "popovers": true,
       "print": true,
       "progress-bars": true,
       "responsive-embed": true,
       "responsive-utilities": true,
       "scaffolding": true,
       "tables": true,
       "thumbnails": true,
       "tooltip": true,
       "type": true,
       "utilities": true,
       "wells": true
    }
  },

  "javascript": {
    "expose": false,

    "modules": {
      "affix": true,
      "alert": true,
      "button": true,
      "carousel": true,
      "collapse": true,
      "dropdown": true,
      "modal": true,
      "popover": true,
      "scrollspy": true,
      "tab": true,
      "tooltip": true,
      "transition": true
    }
  }
}

These settings perform the following duties:

`less`

customVariables Boolean (default: false) Enable this to expose a custom bootstrap variables file you can edit.
exposeMixins Boolean (default: false) Enable this to expose an importable less file with the bootstrap mixins for your use.
compile Boolean (default: true) Disable this to expose the raw bootstrap less and leave it to the less package to compile.
modules Object Enable or disable specific bootstrap less modules. (The listed order of these is unimportant.)

`javascript`

expose Boolean (default: false) Enable to expose the raw bootstrap javascript.
modules Object Enable or disable specific bootstrap js modules. (The listed order of these is unimportant.)

Using custom variables or mixins

Custom variables are made easy with this package. First change customVariables in the settings file to true which will expose the variables file for you to edit. You will need to run your meteor project (if it's not already running) and you will see a file named bootstrap-variables.less. You can change anything in this file. You can also delete any portion of it that you do not wish to change from the default value. These variables simply override the default settings so it's safe to delete anything you aren't using.

You can also use this custom variables less file in your own less code if you would like by importing it:

// my-custom.less
@import "bootstrap-variables.less";

/* Custom less using Bootstrap variables here */

The exact same goes for mixins. Mixins are currently not editable. They are exposed solely for your use in construction:

// my-custom.less
@import "bootstrap-variables.less";
@import "bootstrap-mixins.less";

/* Custom less using Bootstrap mixins and variables here */
