When I install Tailwind CSS to my project it adds a node modules folder. However, when I open that it has every single node module installed on my computer. Is that right? How do I only include the tailwind modules.

I want to customize Bootstrap 4 theme such as colors, fonts, etc..
I read the instructions from Bootstrap website saying that I need to create custom.scss file and import Bootstrap’s source Sass files like this
// Custom.scss
// Your variable overrides
$body-bg: #000;
$body-color: #111;
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
I'm new to both Sass and NodeJS and I do not know how to get started with a NodeJS and Sass project.
I went as far as installing NodeJS and Sass on my Mac using brew. I also installed Bootstrap by typing:
npm install bootstrap
This is the most progress I have made. I do not know in which path the bootstrap files are installed when I did the command npm install bootstrap and also I do not know how to bring that Bootstrap installation into my project folder.
Could anyone please provide some information or point me to a resource on how to get started with a NodeJS and Sass project so I can customize Bootstrap 4 theme using Sass.
You have to run the npm install bootstrap command inside your project directory. Bootstrap and its files will then be installed into the directory node_modules/bootstrap inside your project directory.
Now, when placing your custom scss files into this folder, they will be able to access the node_modules directory, in which bootstrap is.
You can then create a custom building pipeline using npm tools for compiling scss files to css. This requires more in-depth knowledge on node.js and NPM, but that is the usual and recommended way of doing it.
If you just want to compile the scss once and work with the css from there without having to use node.js more in depth, you can use packages like scss-compile and then use console commands like node-sass -rw scssFiles -o cssOutputFiles to compile your custom theme once.
I'm trying to update my Bootstrap dependency in my Ember application to the alpha 4 version so I can access the utility classes (such as margin/padding).
I think Bootstrap is a bower dependency since it's listed in bower.json, so I followed the instructions from the new Bootstrap website:
bower install bootstrap#v4.0.0-alpha.3
When I did this, bower.json didn't update. In fact, Bootstrap version is still "bootstrap": "^3.3.7".
The only differences are:
Now I have 152 JSHint errors in my terminal...I tried adding "bootstrap":true to .jshintrc and restarted my server but the errors were still there.
My ember app was broken until I removed line 1 in change-version.js, which was #!/usr/bin/env node.
When I start typing a new css style in my templates, the CSS styles are showing up, but my Ember application is not recognizing them. For example, here is an image:
When I add the class m-r-3 and reload localhost, nothing shows up.
I've already tried importing bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap.css in the ember-cli-build.js file. It didn't work.
I have already read through this page which goes over dependencies but I have had no luck. If anyone could assist here that would be greatly appreciated.
You need to use --save parameter to save bower.json:
bower install --save bootstrap#v4.0.0-alpha.3
Look at the bower_components directory, does it keep the old version of the bootstrap? If so remove it.
You should add bootstrap.css to the ember-cli-build.js, as you said. Have a look at this addon, check your coding against of a typo or erronous adding.
Does your client loads any version of bootstrap? (Check vendor.js)
I have a dist folder inside semantic-ui zip file that I downloaded (version 1.8.1 to be precise)
Is this folder the only thing i need to deploy my Web Application as far as semantic-ui related files are concerned?
Would including semantic.js and semantic.css be enough for my web application?
I am asking this question as I want to eliminate the need of installing npm and gulp on my target machines and would just like to copy over the css and js files that are needed by the application.
Including semantic.min.js, jquery, and semantic.min.css will should be enough for the start since the semantic.min.js contains all the modules you'd need. You will find these files in 'dist' folder.
I'm already using bootstrap.css. But i would like to surcharge the less variables without using bootstrap customize editor.
I would like to add a less file in my project. My project is a simple nodejs project with express and harpejs.
Where to find the less file ? Using express it will compile it when i will deploy the project ?
Thanks.
Look at using bower.
npm install -g bower
bower install bootstrap
You will then find all the less files in bower_components/bootstrap/less/*. Copy the bootstrap.less file to your CSS directory and make alterations (make sure the paths are correct).
You can then look at using some Grunt tasks to get the less to build.
I always find it difficult to manually load external libraries in Meteor.js due to its non-traditional way. I need some advice on how to load these libraries in the cleanest possible way
1 client
2 server
3 packages
4 public
4.1 resources
4.2 font-awesome
4.2.1 css
4.2.2 fonts
4.2.3 less
4.2.4 scss
4.3 fonts
Above is my root structure. In the public folder, I have all the images under resources and then the folder for font-awesome 4. Now, when I load this it shows the square symbol meaning it's not loading it properly.
I was under the impression that there is no need to reference any CSS etc in meteor as it's all bundled together at runtime. Am I missing something?
I did try using the meteorite packages but it just installs stuff and does nothing! I'd rather do it manually and change the references where needed.
Once too often, I have been asking myself this same question, if you know what I mean.
You could modify the font awesome css files so that the fonts url is referenced to /font-wesome/fonts/ instead of ../fonts. Move the css/less files (such as font-awesome.css) into /client
E.g its usually
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3')
change it to
url('/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3')
There are also others for each type of font the above is for woff, no bone.
The directory would depend on the location of your file in /public, e.g if you used /public/danielle you would use /danielle
Adding with meteorite
If you added with meteorite don't forget to add it to meteor too i.e
mrt add font-awesome
meteor add font-awesome
or for windows
cd packages
git clone https://github.com/nate-strauser/meteor-font-awesome.git
rename meteor add meteor-font-awesome font-awesome
meteor add font-awesome
