Adding Bootstrap 4 for CSS Styling
For quickly building a beautifully styled web page, we can use Bootstrap (v4). Bootstrap requires jQuery and Popper.js so we must first include them in the <head> of our template:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.3/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
Next, include the JavaScript file for Bootstrap:
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
Finally, you need to include the CSS file for Bootstrap, also in the <head> section:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
Now you are ready to use Bootstrap classes and utilities for styling your application.
Create a index.html template that extends the base.html:
{ % extends "base.html" % }
{ % block content % }
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<h1>Django Bootstrap 4 Tutorial</h1>
<p>Welcome to our Django Home Page</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{ % endblock % }
Components and options for laying out your Bootstrap project, including wrapping containers, a powerful grid system, a flexible media object, and responsive utility classes.
Containers
Containers are the most basic layout element in Bootstrap and are required when using our default grid system. Choose from a responsive, fixed-width container (meaning its
max-widthchanges at each breakpoint) or fluid-width (meaning it’s100%wide all the time).Use
.container-fluidfor a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
