how to make yo angular load bootstrap theme css

Question

yo angular install bootstrap files all fine. The index.html file looks like this at the moment:

<!-- Place favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon.png in the root directory -->
<!-- build:css(.) styles/vendor.css -->
<!-- bower:css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" />
<!-- endbower -->
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:css(.tmp) styles/main.css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css">
<!-- endbuild -->

This doesn't include bootstrap.theme.css file.

What is the recommended way of adding this? Do I manually go in there and add it?

The correct way to do it is override you bower.json file to load bootstrap dependencies, and then run grunt wiredep

The bower.json would look like this:

{
  "name": "frontend",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "^1.3.0",
    "json3": "^3.3.0",
    "es5-shim": "^4.0.0",
    "bootstrap": "^3.2.0",
    "angular-cookies": "^1.3.0",
    "angular-route": "^1.3.0",
    "angular-local-storage": "~0.1.5",
    "raty": "~2.7.0",
    "kineticjs": "~5.1.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "angular-mocks": "~1.3.0",
    "angular-scenario": "~1.3.0"
  },
  "appPath": "app",
  "overrides": {
    "bootstrap": {
      "main": [
        "less/bootstrap.less",
        "dist/css/bootstrap.css",
        "dist/css/bootstrap-theme.css",
        "dist/js/bootstrap.js",
        "dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot",
        "dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg",
        "dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf",
        "dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff"
      ]        
    }
  }
}
