🛼 Bootstrap Customizations

To generate a custom version of Bootstrap v5 that supports our light/dark themeing, we take a three step approach:

  1. Where possible we customize the variables offered by Bootstrap. The general variable definitions can be looked up in the component files in node_modules/bootstrap/scss/ after locally installing Bootstrap as a dependency.
  2. We then generate the bootstrap css and replace some of the generated HEX values with our color variables. This is done for the cases in which we cannot use our variables directly in step 1, because Bootstrap passes them through modifier functions (lighten/darken), which require actual color values.
  3. Hard CSS overrides are used for extensions and customizations of the final bootstrap.css. These are appended to the generated file, so that we can override things and maintain the ability to easily upgrade.
