Customizing Bootstrap 4

Please note that this section refers to Angular 2+ with Bootstrap 4. If you are using AngularJS 1.x with Bootstrap 3, please go to the Bootstrap 3 documentation.

Basic customisation

Pro tip: don’t forget to run yarn start to get immediate feedback of your changes!

The simplest way to customize how your JHipster application looks like is by overriding CSS styles in src/main/webapp/content/css/global.css, or if you selected the Sass option, the src/main/webapp/scss/global.scss file.

If you want to use Bootstrap partials in your own scss files then import it like below in the beginning of your scss file. For example to use the border-radius mixin:

@import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables";
@import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/mixins/border-radius";

Make sure you import only partials and not main sass files, otherwise you will end up generating duplicate css which might cause issues

Please refer official Bootstrap documentation for more details on customizations
