Uninstalling Twitter Bootstrap from a Rails app

Question

I recently installed Twitter Bootstrap in my Rails app via the following two steps:

rails g bootstrap:install

(this included Twitter Bootstrap to my app's asset pipeline)

rails g bootstrap:layout application fixed

(this generated a layout for me, by default application.html.erb and fixed layout was generated)

Should I do any of the following or all of it to remove Twitter Bootstrap completely from my app?

1. Delete all the files added by it in APP folder?

   • javascripts/bootstrap.js.coffee

   • stylesheets/bootstrap.js.coffee

   • layout/application.html.erb (edit this file?)

2. Are there other files that were created that I missed and must also remove?

Answer 1

Try this

rails destroy bootstrap:install

Also, remove the gem from your gemfile

gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails"

Answer 2

If you look at the github repo for this you can see the generators and what exactly they do:

https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/tree/master/lib/generators/bootstrap

The command

rails g bootstrap:install

Uses the templates here: https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/tree/master/lib/generators/bootstrap/install/templates

The layout command uses the templates here: https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/tree/master/lib/generators/bootstrap/layout/templates

Also, remove the gem from your gemfile

gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails"
