How can I import local Bootstrap CSS into a React app without overriding my CSS files?

Time:10-23

I'm working on a project where I need to use Bootstrap alongside a lot of custom CSS files. Until now, I was importing Bootstrap's CSS directly in my index.html file like this :

<link
      href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
      rel="stylesheet"
      integrity="sha384- 0n0xVW2eSR5OomGNYDnhzAbDsOXxcvSN1TPprVMTNDbiYZCxYbOOl7 AMvyTG2x"
      crossorigin="anonymous"
    />

But now I need to import Bootstrap CSS from my node_modules so I've tried to import it in my index.css file like this :

@import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";

It is "working" but now, all of Bootstrap CSS declarations, including it's reboots, are overriding my own custom CSS (which wasn't the case until then).

So my question is : is there any way to import a local version of Bootstrap's CSS without having it taking over my custom CSS files ?

I've seen a solution here, but adding a custom body id to ALL my CSS declarations in my many files looks like a bit too much.

The solution was to copy bootstrap.min.css inside the public folder and import it in my index.html file. For some reason, it didn't work the first time I tried. For reference, the import is done like this :

<link
      href="css/bootstrap.min.css"
      rel="stylesheet"
      integrity="sha384- 0n0xVW2eSR5OomGNYDnhzAbDsOXxcvSN1TPprVMTNDbiYZCxYbOOl7 AMvyTG2x"
      crossorigin="anonymous"
    />

You can import the bootstrap.min.css before your 'custom.css', then it won't override your custom CSS.
