Bootstrap: Use Responsive Design with Bootstrap Fluid Containers

https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/front-end-development-libraries/bootstrap/use-responsive-design-with-bootstrap-fluid-containers

  • FreeCodeCamp is an extremely beneficial tool that I've been using throughout these months. As you seen I'm learning just like you are. I provide help/solutions as much as I can give. Programming is something that you truly have to commit to. The time and effort you put into it, the urge to continue learning and getting it right. To have that knowledge and help others is incredible.
  • Now that onwards! During my first week or so of FreeCodeCamp, In the HTML section we built a Cat Photo App. We're coming back to it to style it with Bootstrap responsive CSS framework.

  • Bootstrap will figure out how wide your screen is and respond by resizing your HTML elements, meaning there's need to design a mobile version of it.

  • You can add Bootstrap to any app by adding the following code to the top of your HTML:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous"/>

  • For our case they have already added it for us to the page behind the scenes. They want us to nest all of our HTML (except the link tag and the style element) in a div element with the class container-fluid.
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
  .red-text {
    color: red;
  }

  h2 {
    font-family: Lobster, Monospace;
  }

  p {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-family: Monospace;
  }

  .thick-green-border {
    border-color: green;
    border-width: 10px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 50%;
  }

  .smaller-image {
    width: 100px;
  }
</style>
