At the moment you use bootstrap-4.0.0-alpha.5 as peer dependency.
Any reason why you are still on this version? Which part of bootstrap are you internally using?
If you build a custom theme then you would need to install that version of bootstrap. See https://vmware.github.io/clarity/documentation/v0.11/themes

In my Meteor project it looks like I've got two versions of jQuery running. My app is using the atmosphere package materialize:materialize and I know that one of its dependencies is jQuery. In my meteor/packages folder it shows version 1.11.10 being used.
But the confusing part is in my External Libraries folder. It also shows a version of jQuery 2.0.0. The only npm package that I have used for my app was when I brought in the babel runtime that was required for Meteor version 1.4.3.2. I had in the past installed Materialize from npm but removed it some time ago. Confused to why that jQuery 2 is there.
This is fine, it happens this way because of package dependencies, Meteor depends on what is quite an old version of JQuery, and one of your npm packages depends on 2.0.
It does seem strange, but it isn't a problem.
What is happening here is some of the meteor packages depends on jquery and some of the npm packages does the same so you end up having the lib installed twice. Nothing terrible except that clients would have to download the same library twice. This is a known bug here https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/6626. Not sure where is it going though, it's been there for quite long already.
I am going to start react-bootstrap.
There are many git sources for react-bootstrap on github, but I couldn't run them successfully.
I want to use windows and ubuntu for development.
And I prefer meteor for this working.
I would like to know simple way to easy installation and git url for very simple react-bootstrap examples.
Regards.
This one is up to date and widely used:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/
Type the following on your command line and you're good to go:
meteor add twbs:bootstrap
I'm starting new app with meteor and I'm confuse when I have to install packages.
Meteor gives the possibility to install packages just like that:
meteor add <username>:<packagename>
Ok, very easy. The problem is that I would like use bower then, How I have to install the packages? For example angular.
meteor add urigo:angular
is the same as? what is the difference*? How I have to perform?
bower install angular
The logical conclusion could be use one of them, but I have seen in examples that they can be toguether.
*the package is recorded in different places, but the operation is the same?
With
meteor add <developer>:<packagename>
you add packages from the Meteor specific package database. Meteor packages are completely integrated into the Meteor eco-system and may contain both server and client side code.
You should use "meteor add" whenever possible.
To find Meteor packages you can use Atmosphere
Bower on the other hand is a framework independent package system for client side (mostly) JavaScript packages. It's not well integrated with Meteor - Although community packages exists to simplify usage of Bower packages with Meteor.
To answer you specific example:
meteor add urigo:angular
This command adds the Angular package of the Angular-Meteor project to your Meteor application. It's not only Angular but does also include some Angular services ($meteor) to provide integration of Meteor with Angular.
It even adds Angular support to the server side to some degree.
bower install angular
only downloads the official minified and non-minified javascript file of the latest Angular version for client side use.
You could use the Bower version with Angular but you wouldn't get the benefits of the integration.
While I don't use Bower myself, check out this package: https://atmospherejs.com/mquandalle/bower. I think it may help answer your question.
I'm trying to use a third party commercial JS library in my angular-meteor project
The vendor just informed me, that they only support angular version 1.3.11
Is there a way to install urigu:angular-meteor with this specific version of angular?
According to the meteor documentation you can set a version using #= so it should be like that:
meteor add angularjs:angular#=1.3.11
However, doing so you might have versions conflict like that:
>meteor add angularjs:angular#=1.3.11
=> Errors while adding packages:
While selecting package versions:
error: Potentially incompatible change required to top-level dependency: urigo:angular 0.6.8, was 0.8.4.
Constraints on package "urigo:angular":
To allow potentially incompatible changes to top-level dependencies, you must pass --allow-incompatible-update on the command line.
So you have here few alternatives:
Downgrade urigo:angular: I think this is not a good option, there might be major changes since the package is pretty new.
Convince the vendor to "take the risk"
Since angular is much more mature that angular-meteor and 1.3.11 to 1.3.15 should not have breaking changes, this option have a clear advantage.
If you do wish to use the first option, add --allow-incompatible-update to the command line.
Finally getting around to learning front-end development with sass and I'm using bootstrap-sass-official (installed via bower) in an AngularJS project. Id like to try out AngularStrap in this project as well but it's dependency on bootstrap's CSS means I am loading both the standard CSS version as well as the SASS version of bootstrap. Can I use AngularStrap with bootstrap-sass without also requiring the standard CSS?
Bower will require the standard bootstrap.css with the installation of angularstrap. Once it is installed, remove the reference to it from your index.html file and you're all set. Thanks to Remco Haszing for the answer!
