What is Bootstrap Colors?
Bootstrap is supported by an extensive color system that themes our styles and components. This enables more comprehensive customization and extension for any project.
Installation
Manual installation (zip package)
To use our Bootstrap Colors component, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package
MDB CLI
Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI
NPM
Prerequisites
Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).
Installation
To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
npm i mdb-ui-kit
Importing JS modules
You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module
Importing CSS file
To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';
Importing SCSS modules
You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.
Webpack integration
You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.
CDN
Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.
Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:
CSS
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
JS
<!-- MDB -->
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
Getting started
Theme
We use a subset of all colors to create a smaller color palette for generating color schemes, also available as Sass variables and a Sass map in Bootstrap’s scss/free/_variables.scss file.
All these colors are available as a Sass map, $theme-colors in scss/free/_variables.scss file.
$theme-colors: (
"primary": $primary,
"secondary": $secondary,
"success": $success,
"info": $info,
"warning": $warning,
"danger": $danger,
"light": $light,
"dark": $dark
);
Note: Theme colors are also available as CSS classes. You can use them directly in your project without compiling scss code. Have a look at the examples below.
Customization
Background
Easily set the background by using .bg-* color classes
<div class="bg-primary"></div>
<div class="bg-secondary"></div>
<div class="bg-success"></div>
<div class="bg-danger"></div>
<div class="bg-warning"></div>
<div class="bg-info"></div>
<div class="bg-light"></div>
<div class="bg-dark"></div>
Links
You can use the .link-* classes to colorize links. Unlike the .text-* classes, these classes have a :hover and :focus state.
<a href="#" class="link-primary">Primary link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-secondary">Secondary link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-success">Success link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-danger">Danger link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-warning">Warning link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-info">Info link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-light">Light link</a>
<a href="#" class="link-dark">Dark link</a>
