We’re building a Vite project with Bootstrap from scratch, so there are some prerequisites and up front steps before we can really get started. This guide requires you to have Node.js installed and some familiarity with the terminal.

1. Create a project folder and setup npm. We’ll create the

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   1 folder and initialize npm with the

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   2 argument to avoid it asking us all the interactive questions.

   mkdir my-project && cd my-project
   npm init -y
   

2. Install Vite. Unlike our Webpack guide, there’s only a single build tool dependency here. We use

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   3 to signal that this dependency is only for development use and not for production.

3. Install Bootstrap. Now we can install Bootstrap. We’ll also install Popper since our dropdowns, popovers, and tooltips depend on it for their positioning. If you don’t plan on using those components, you can omit Popper here.

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

4. Install additional dependency. In addition to Vite and Bootstrap, we need another dependency (Sass) to properly import and bundle Bootstrap’s CSS.

Now that we have all the necessary dependencies installed and setup, we can get to work creating the project files and importing Bootstrap.

Project structure

We’ve already created the

npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core

1 folder and initialized npm. Now we’ll also create our

npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core

5 folder, stylesheet, and JavaScript file to round out the project structure. Run the following from

npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core

1, or manually create the folder and file structure shown below.

mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js

When you’re done, your complete project should look like this:

my-project/
├── src/
│   ├── js/
│   │   └── main.js
│   └── scss/
│   |   └── styles.scss
|   └── index.html
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
└── vite.config.js

At this point, everything is in the right place, but Vite won’t work because we haven’t filled in our

npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core

7 yet.

Configure Vite

With dependencies installed and our project folder ready for us to start coding, we can now configure Vite and run our project locally.

1. Open

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   7 in your editor. Since it’s blank, we’ll need to add some boilerplate config to it so we can start our server. This part of the config tells Vite where to look for our project’s JavaScript and how the development server should behave (pulling from the

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   5 folder with hot reload).

   const path = require('path')
   
   export default {
     root: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
     server: {
       port: 8080,
       hot: true
     }
   }
   

2. Next we fill in

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   0. This is the HTML page Vite will load in the browser to utilize the bundled CSS and JS we’ll add to it in later steps.

   
   
     
       
       
       Bootstrap w/ Vite
     
     
       
   
         
   Hello, Bootstrap and Vite!
         Primary button
       
   
       
     
   
   

   We’re including a little bit of Bootstrap styling here with the

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   1 and so that we see when Bootstrap’s CSS is loaded by Vite.

3. Now we need an npm script to run Vite. Open

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   2 and add the

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   3 script shown below (you should already have the test script). We’ll use this script to start our local Vite dev server.

   {
     // ...
     "scripts": {
       "start": "vite",
       "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
     },
     // ...
   }
   

4. And finally, we can start Vite. From the

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   1 folder in your terminal, run that newly added npm script:
   

In the next and final section to this guide, we’ll import all of Bootstrap’s CSS and JavaScript.

Import Bootstrap

1. Set up Bootstrap’s Sass import in

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   7. Your configuration file is now complete and should match the snippet below. The only new part here is the

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   6 section—we use this to add an alias to our source files inside

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   7 to keep imports as simple as possible.

   const path = require('path')
   
   export default {
     root: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
     resolve: {
       alias: {
         '~bootstrap': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/bootstrap'),
       }
     },
     server: {
       port: 8080,
       hot: true
     }
   }
   

2. Now, let’s import Bootstrap’s CSS. Add the following to

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   8 to import all of Bootstrap’s source Sass.

   // Import all of Bootstrap's CSS
   @import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
   

   You can also import our stylesheets individually if you want. Read our Sass import docs for details.

3. Next we load the CSS and import Bootstrap’s JavaScript. Add the following to

   mkdir {src,src/js,src/scss}
   touch src/index.html src/js/main.js src/scss/styles.scss vite.config.js
   

   9 to load the CSS and import all of Bootstrap’s JS. Popper will be imported automatically through Bootstrap.

   // Import our custom CSS
   import '../scss/styles.scss'
   
   // Import all of Bootstrap's JS
   import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap'
   

   You can also import JavaScript plugins individually as needed to keep bundle sizes down:

   npm i --save bootstrap @popperjs/core
   

   0

   Read our JavaScript docs for more information on how to use Bootstrap’s plugins.

4. And you’re done! 🎉 With Bootstrap’s source Sass and JS fully loaded, your local development server should now look like this.

   

   Now you can start adding any Bootstrap components you want to use. Be sure to check out the complete Vite example project for how to include additional custom Sass and optimize your build by importing only the parts of Bootstrap’s CSS and JS that you need.
