I am new to web development and I am using bootstrap to help with making my website. I want to know the best way to manage my own css files and the bootstrap css. I know I can override bootstrap stylings by dropping my own modifications into the style tag, but I feel like this is definitely the best way to go. Currently I just import two style sheets (mine and bootstrap), but they step on each others toes ALOT.
Thanks in advance
When I use bootstrap, I used to follow these 2 rules:
Be careful in naming the class.
Never use !important in your stylesheet.

I am currently implementing a plugin that gets dynamically incrusted into a DIV (not an iframe) and am currently using Bulma as my CSS framework. The issue I am having is that since this plugin is going to be integrated into many sites, it will also inherit the styles applied to the parent website.
Due to many of the classes being a standard name in many frameworks, such as column, button, form, and others, this is creating a conflict.
I have been reviewing a couple of packages that either add a prefix to these classes as well as use a namespace.
Namespace:
The namespace route does not work since this does avoid our plugin from not interfering with any of the other sites' styles, the site's styles still affect ours.
Prefix Packages:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-class-prefix
The other route I was researching ways to add a prefix to all the classes from our plugin, such as -column, but I understand that this will output a CSS library with all the classes with the prefix but not my HTML files which have the class="column".
I am hoping to find a solution for this, as I would think this is, although not common, a recurring issue/question and I just haven't found the proper solution for this.
Any advice would be appreciated.
You can use the #layer css rule:
The #layer at-rule allows authors to explicitly layer their styles in the cascade, before specificity and order of appearance are considered.
Example:
/* styles.css */
#layer bootstrapFramework, myPluginStyles;
#import url("https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css")
layer(bootstrapFramework);
#import url("https://yourPluginStyles.css")
layer(myPluginStyles);
Doing this will override bootstrap classes with your plugin CSS classes. Due to the order of the layers.
Check out the browsers support for the rule.
You can read more about #layer CSS rule here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/#layer

Hope this answers your question!
Yeah. That's fine. Just add a prefix to the HTML classes too. It should work.
Or you can choose to ditch CSS frameworks for the plugin and write the CSS for the necessary components. You just do a little reset for your component's HTML elements and you can expect a fairly consistent design across multiple different implementations.
I feel this may be just helpful too. custom HTML elements too.
Best of luck.
just use div-to-select * { all:revert }
then add the code for the div & bulma
Explanation
all: revert gets every thing to normal so it makes all other frameworks class's styles to default
please take a look on https://agilecss.com CSS framework and UI kit, it provides some unique features not available in other frameworks, for example all the common used UI elements without JavaScript.
I think the title is a bit vague but my vocabulary is limited in english. I'll try to explain what I want to do.
I have two CSS files from products I have no control ( are not mine ). Lets say AdminLTE bootstrap and a JQuery plugin.
The problem is the Box class is in both styles.
and messing my flight indicators from the JQuery plugin. I know I have to choose the order of CSS style files or add important to one of them but I'm afraid of start to mess with my bootstrap interface.
Is there any other way to solve this?

you don't, you could simply write a selector with higher specificity which would override the jQuery plugin styles, like body div.instrument .box
I'm on a web project using bootstrap style, then I incorpored the grocery_CRUD framework and I started having problems with the css.
It seems the grocery_CRUD has priority on the css files, when it renders a table, all style changes.
I want all web site has the bootstrap css and only the tables rendered with grocery_CRUD has its style.
Any solution?
I think you are looking for the "bootstrap" theme at grocery CRUD. Just be aware that it is still in BETA phase. You can simply have a bootstrap theme like this:
$crud->set_theme('twitter-bootstrap');
I answer my question:
It's all about order of loading CSS... just didn't think about it, need to load first grocery_crud theme and then my css file. I had backwards overwriting my style
I have a twitter bootstrap web template that I'm integrating with angular ui to develop a SPA. I have been able to do this integration to some level but I want to override the default css that Twitter Boostrap dropdown-men with Angular JS provides. Thanks for any help.
Option 1) Edit the Bootstrap CSS
You can edit the bootstrap CSS but this means you are assuming all risk for integrating nay future bootstrap changes. I don't recommend it unless you want to trim out all bootstrap CSS except what you need. Only mentioning it because it is an option, though not one I recommend.
Option 2) Create your own CSS to override Bootstrap's CSS
Create a CSS file such as styles.css and have it listed after bootstrap's CSS in your HTML file. Then override the styles for what you need. This is pretty easy and allows you to leave Bootstrap untouched.
Option 3) Pay a CSS expert :)
OK, so seriously ... choose option 2.
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..
