Free and open source Bootstrap 5 UI Kit

#opensource #bootstrap #css #javascript

Hello devs 👋🏻

Today I want to show you a Bootstrap 5 UI Kit which we've been working on for about a year with my friend. The first version one year ago was based on Bootstrap 4, but now that Bootstrap 5 has been updated to Beta we thought it was time to update the whole kit once again.

We used NPM, Gulp, and Sass to manage libraries, compile source files, and more easily change and update styles using the variables and mixins from Sass.

Pixel Bootstrap 5 UI Kit features over 80 UI components including date pickers, modals, pricing cards, profile cards, blog cards, and also 5 example pages.

Workflow

Most popular CSS Framework Bootstrap
Productive workflow tool Gulp
Awesome CSS preprocessor Sass

So without further ado, let me show you how you can install and use this Bootstrap 5 based UI Kit.

Quick start

Download for free from Themesberg or clone the repository on Github
Make sure you have Node and NPM installed on your machine
Download Gulp Command Line Interface to be able to use gulp in your Terminal:

npm install gulp-cli -g

After installing Gulp, run npm install in the main pixel/ folder to download all the project dependencies. You'll find them in the node_modules/ folder.
Run gulp in the pixel/ folder to serve the project files using BrowserSync. Running gulp will compile the theme and open /index.html in your main browser.

While the gulp command is running, files in the assets/scss/, assets/js/ and components/ folders will be monitored for changes. Files from the assets/scss/ folder will generate injected CSS.

Hit CTRL+C to terminate the gulp command. This will stop the local server from running.

Theme without Sass, Gulp or Npm

If you'd like to get a version of our theme without Sass, Gulp or Npm, we've got you covered. Run the following command:

gulp build:dev

This will generate a folder html&css which will have unminified CSS, Html and Javascript.

Minified version

If you'd like to compile the code and get a minified version of the HTML and CSS just run the following Gulp command:

gulp build:dist

This will generate a folder dist which will have minified CSS, Html and Javascript.
