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 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 kind of confused. This is my project structure
installing bootstrap using bower and some file and directory what direction should I follow to using sass in this kind of structure: for example I mean
install grunt
grunt to your project
add sass file what ever your want
...
I see a lot of ways and you know many of them do not match with my project structure. some one said grunt some one else said bootstrap sass and compile your project and more.

7-just simple ?!!
I am using Angular CLI for Angular2 project. And I am using less for my styling.
To compile less file with Angular CLI, I have to import less file with its absolute path. Which breaks editor's intellisense. So instead of using LESSPlugin comes with AngularCLI, I want to use IDE's less watcher and compiler (available in vs code as well as webstorme) to compile less to css.
But there are less files still exists in source, 'ng serve' try to compile less and that breaks the build.
Is there any way to configure angular cli to ignore less file and use available css in source folder?
I manage to do that by uninstalling less module from project using 'npm uninstall less --save-dev'
Now I can use relative path for less import and also intellisense is working now.
When you generate a new project using angular cli, type a command like below:
ng new new-project --style less
It will setup your project using less. When you serve(run) the project each time, angular cli will automatically compile your less files.
According to ng command manual
ng new <options...>
--style (String) (Default: css)
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 don't understand how to compile foundation with my own SASS additions.
I have my own Github repo with ZURB foundation 5, I've extended it (with SASS and JS) and changed some things.
Let's say my repo is here: github.com/some_name/my_foundation_version.
So, I download it from git
git clone git://github.com/some_name/my_foundation_versionbut then what?
I don't understand how to use bower or grunt in this case. How do I use my own git repo?
UPDATE:
Going into: ./foundation/scss and run sass foundation.scss:output.css doesn't work either
Method One - Self Compile using koala etc
If you just want to use the scss to compile yourself you need 2 repo's not one
First you want the Foundation Master Repo Then Secondly The Bower_components
Foundation Master
Bower-Foundation
Unpack the foundation master then in it create a directory called foundation and unpack the bower components into there.
I personally then use koala to compile the scss which is a simple drag and drop programme I click on the app.scss set the output path to app.css and away I go.
If you want a version to play here is a repo i'm playing with for a framework also has the icons set and a few other bits in there but you can simply download unzip and it should then compile
https://github.com/Relution-Design/legion-assets
I also use netbeans which is more or less the same process, make sure correct libs are installed in netbeans set output path and compile on save.
Method 2
Firstly Make sure that you have all the dependencies!! 3 months I spent and was missing one . . . . HEAD IN HANDS :( then follow the instructions
FOUNDATION SCSS
