I am using Primefaces 5.0.I want to use or bootstrap css to Primefaces custom components like List, table, selectOneListbox.
I am to apply css to normal component like button, link etc.
It's possible, but due to reason that a internal structure of Primefaces's components are different from a plain HTML components with which Bootstrap supposed to work you will need to make hard job to accomplish that. You will need to debug every Primefaces component to see its internal structure and change Bootstrap's css file that it will correspond to internal classes of Primefaces's component.
Actually you have three alternatives (maybe more):
Like BalusC mentioned, Primefaces has its own implementation of Bootstrap theme: you can see it here: http://www.primefaces.org/themes IMHO, best option
Use Bootfaces JSF library: http://www.bootsfaces.net/ Pay attention that it's pretty new library and possible buggy. There isn't big community support like for Primefaces library.
Make you own Composite (or Custom) Components with desired structure and styling.

I'm making a react app with styled-components and I want to create a component that will be just like using col col-x and another for row classes from bootstrap.
But my problem is that I can't find the styles for that, I searched for every .col word in the repo and couldn't find anything.
How can I make a component using styled-components that recreates bootstrap col col-x and row without importing the entire bootstrap?
You should be able to get it from the Bootstrap CDN https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.css.
I usually approach this kind of issue by creating a page where I load the library I try to partially emulate and apply it to the structure that I will intend to have. I will extract CSS rules from the dev tools (after loading it in several browsers to find differences of use-cases) and create the same CSS rules into another page, having the same structure, but not using the other library, which is Bootstrap in this case. If there are non-CSS differences, that is, the way that structure is rendered is partially managed by Javascript, then I will make a list of things to achieve and try and find the code for that. In general this will reduce the list of things I have to implement to have only a few items, which tends to be doable.
I have a marketing tool (Pardot) that I'm using to build forms. It creates its own markup which makes it impossible for me to apply bootstrap classes to form element, although I can create them for surrounding containers (spans/divs).
Is there a way to quickly "alias" default Boostrap classes without writing a ton of duplicate CSS for the 50 or so different form-related classes?
I've already put in some CSS, just duplicating the Boostrap CSS, but that's labor intensive and obviously won't work for Bootstrap's JavaScripts.
I know I can just have a custom stylesheet that overrides the bootstrap component I wish to customize (for example the jumbotron), but is the right way to go about this "problem"? I don't think this can be done with a bootstrap theme, although I haven't read a whole lot on this subject.
You can use your browsers DevTools to inspect an element that you want to change, and in the Rules/Styles section you can see which CSS elements is it using and then you can create your own css file and paste the CSS there and change it so it overrides bootstraps element. Here is how to get the devtools from Chrome https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#dom-and-styles and from Firefox https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Open_the_Inspector. Don't forget to import your CSS customised script under bootstraps so it overrides the CSS that you wish to change.
Use twitter-bootstrap customize on their website to customize it and download the customized files. Or just create a custom CSS file and edit classes like .jumbotron and other stuff
There are a few ways to modify the default bootstrap css and no one way is inherently more or less "right" than any other. It all depends on the coding style of you and/or your team. Here is a list of a few ways that I came up with off the top of my head:
Modify the css file you downloaded from Bootstrap
(My Choice) Override Bootstrap styles with your own CSS. Just be sure to follow the rules of CSS Specificity (External < Internal < Inline) and if you have trouble getting a certain rule to apply try reading this answer or force it with !important
NOTE: This is likely NOT a comprehensive list, just a starting point.
I have asked myself (not tested) if it is possible to integrate both bootstrap and materializecss into the same project
Since both frameworks are for the same purpose and probably overlapping in some class definitions etc. is it still possible to combine both frameworks in order to expand my styling options?
Materialize is not based on Bootstrap nor just a "visual layer", using both frameworks may lead to a lots of incompatibilities or at least overlap a lot as most of their functionalities are redundant (grids, menus, icons, etc).
I personally use this project Bootstrap material design which is a theme for Bootstrap and works very well.
If you don't need/want Bootstrap you can also use Material Design Lite that has been recently released by Google. It is a light CSS framework based on Material Design guidelines. Light in comparison to Angular Material or Polymer also using Material Design guidelines but part of or requiring other javascript frameworks (i.e. Angular).
I added Materialize to my bootstrap website and it worked fine, like JC Borlagdan said though there is some overlapping. I just use a website inspector and (usually right click > inspect element) then just turn off the bootstrap or materialize property to see which one I like more and remove the styling from the one I don't like. Just make sure you get the non minified versions of materialize and bootstrap.
It is possible, I already tested both framework in a single web form, though some properties of the controls overlapped, especially to the <div> tag that calls the container class for the tag.
For the grid, it actually follows still the bootsrap, for some reason, (that I don't know). Because I tried rearranging the order of <script> tags, still bootsrap grid still the one used by the webpage/webform.
you need to set the order of CSS files like
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="css/yourStyle.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
Now you can override bootstrap css classes or ids, and can make your own CSS styles.
You could remove the GRID from materialize.css and just compile a custom bootstrap package with BT GRID and without the buttons, labels etc.
Don't use any BT jQuery Plugin, then compile and load bootstrap.min.css first in your template and then the modded materialize.css and materilize.min.js.
You can also integrate just buttons, cards or colors by picking them out of materialize.css and insert in your template.css / style.css to overwrite
bootstrap styles or to add alternative css classes to your GRID.
I'm not sure that's possible. Material Design is something new from Google, and includes responsive as part of it, while the Bootstrap library is from Twitter and seems to be mostly responsive-oriented.

I suspect that they are not going to be integrated with each other, and will conflict badly, but maybe someone else has more information.
I need to add Twitter's Bootstrap styles to existing GWT component...
I found more than one project but all of them creates new custom components for that purpose...
I need to stick with GWT standard components and have my app L&F looks like TBootstrap.
Thanks.
You will have a great job to do overriding GWT's default css. Your starting point may be the Developer's Guide - Client Bundle.
Some widget does not accept Bundles, so you may have too to override GWT css in the bootstrap html file.
I believe that you can hack the basic styles with jQuery or overriding CSS styles, but the responsiveness, topbar and other things, I believe thats is pretty impossible...
You can take a look at GWT-Bootstrap.
Hope it helps..
