How is Angular and Bootstrap implemented in nopCommerce?

10 months ago
Hello, there.

I'm currently learning your framework. I've taken a look to your documentation, and I haven't found, using the filter there, any reference to Bootstrap nor Angular.

How can I use Angular and Bootstrap in case I decide to use nopCommerce? What else should I know regarding the use of those framework/libraries regarding their implementation with nopCommerce.

I read this article, https://www.nopcommerce.com/en/boards/topic/57970/why-not-bootstrap which explains that Bootstrap is not actually used in nopCommerce. My question regarding this is, what is the technology used in nopCommerce in the frontend looks? I've see in some other site that some people has implemented Bootstrap with nopCommerce, but I still don't understand how this is done.

Please, provide me with some guidance about how should I join this points, and some links if possible. Then I'll go on with my research and learning.

Thanks.

nopCommerce is opensource and you could learn how the theming works just by browsing and experimenting with existing theme. Here is the documentation that comes handy for writing a new theme.

Moreover, bootstrap or angular is not readily supported out of the box. But you can always find several free and great bootstrap theme that are available for nopCommerce. Some of theme are...

https://www.nopcommerce.com/en/bootstrap-core-theme-responsive-starter-theme
https://www.nopcommerce.com/en/bootstrap-root-theme-responsive-default-theme
https://www.nopcommerce.com/en/bootswatch-theme

You could download, install and learn from these themes as well. As well as you could use them as starting point to develop a custom theme using Bootstrap for your project.
