# Kendo UI Bootstrap Theme

The Kendo UI Bootstrap Theme is a theme for the Kendo UI components which is based on the Twitter Bootstrap framework, version 4. To style and size the components and make them blend in with the surrounding page, the Bootstrap theme uses the variables defined in Bootstrap.

* [Using the Bootstrap Theme in React Projects](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/styling/theme-bootstrap/)
* [Using the Bootstrap Theme in jQuery Projects](http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/styles-and-layout/sass-themes)

## Running Custom Builds

The handling of all variables happens in the [`_bootstrap-map.scss`](src/_bootstrap-map.scss) file. It loads the Bootstrap variables from the default location. For example, `node_modules/bootstrap/scss/_variables.scss`.

If you have a customized version of Bootstrap:

1. Specify the location in `_bootstrap-map.scss`.
1. Build as usual.

## Applying Mapped Variables

To ensure a certain level of compatibility, the Bootstrap variables are locally mapped. This also enables Kendo UI to use an ad-hoc micro framework based on primitive components. For example, [button](src/mixins/appearance/_button.scss), [input](src/mixins/appearance/_input.scss), [node](src/mixins/appearance/_node.scss), and so on.

However, some variables, such as `$tooltip-arrow-width` which is used in the tooltip, are not mapped. They are referenced explicitly because they do not fit in the previously mentioned framework.

## Troubleshooting

Because Bootstrap v4 is still in beta, its variables may change between releases. Make sure to use the Bootstrap version which is [specified in the peer dependencies](package.json) of the package.
