Application example built with Angular 15 and adding the Bootstrap CSS framework using the bootstrap and @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap libraries.
This tutorial was posted on my blog in portuguese and on the DEV Community in english.
Before you start, you need to install and configure the tools:
- git
- Node.js and npm
- Angular CLI
- IDE (e.g. Visual Studio Code)
1. Let's create the application with the Angular base structure using the @angular/cli with the route file and the SCSS style format.
ng new angular-bootstrap
? Would you like to add Angular routing? Yes
? Which stylesheet format would you like to use? SCSS [ https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#scss ]
