gulp-customize-bootstrap

A gulp plugin that overrides Bootstrap’s core Less or Sass files without modifying Bootstrap. This is a modified and extended version of grunt-customize-bootstrap.

See our examples for Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 4.

Install

npm install --save-dev gulp-customize-bootstrap

Usage

This plugin works using Bootstrap’s npm, bower, or static file installs. Just make sure you pass in the correct Bootstrap less or sass file using gulp.src.

Bootstrap 3 using Less

var customizeBootstrap = require('gulp-customize-bootstrap');
var less = require('gulp-less');
 
gulp.task('compileBootstrap', function() {
  return gulp.src('node_modules/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less')
    .pipe(customizeBootstrap('styles/less/*.less'))
    .pipe(less())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('styles/'));
});

Bootstrap 4 using Sass

Make sure that Bootstrap 4 is installed.

npm – npm install bootstrap@4.0.0-alpha.2

Bower – bower install bootstrap#v4.0.0-alpha.2

var customizeBootstrap = require('gulp-customize-bootstrap');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
 
gulp.task('compileBootstrap', function() {
  return gulp.src('node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss')
    .pipe(customizeBootstrap('styles/scss/*.scss'))
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('styles/'));
});
