Bootstrap Nuget Package

Question

Anyone recommending a Nuget package for Twitter Bootstrap for an ASP.NET MVC 4 application? I'm not too crazy about what's out there at nuget.org. What are you using?

Answer 1

The best way to know which one to use, is to look at the package content.

Check this github repository by sirkirby: https://github.com/sirkirby/twitter-bootstrap-nuget

• You will find "Twitter.Bootstrap", and this is the most downloaded Nuget Package for bootstrap.. you just find the normal basic bootstrap css/js/image files and the package direct it to Content folder. (details here in the repository > twitter.Bootstrap/Twitter.Bootstrap.nuspec).

installing "Twitter.Bootstrap" = downloading the bootstrap files from the official website and adding them to your web app.

• Also you will find "Twitter.Bootstrap.MVC", it will just add couple of lines to the "BundleConfig.cs" file so that Upon installation it adds bundling and minification support for easy integration into your shared layouts and views. and this package depends on the previous package.

installing "Twitter.Bootstrap.MVC" = downloading the bootstrap files from the official website and adding them to your web app + adding references for bundling and minification.

• If you need to have Bootstrap with .LESS Files instead of .CSS, install "Twitter.Bootstrap.Less" package.

you can check all other NuGet Packages the same way we just did.
