About Bootstrap
... AND RESPONSIVE DESIGN
What is Bootstrap?

The most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework

Used for developing responsive, mobile first
projects on the web.

Mobile First Strategy

Works and looks great on the mobile device.

As the devices scale in the size the content
scales and experience is enhanced.
What is Bootstrap?
Responsive Web Design

Crafting sites that provide an
optimal viewing and
interaction experience

Easy reading and navigation

Minimal resizing, panning, and
scrolling

Works across a wide range of
devices

Speed of Development



Responsiveness

Mobile devices continue to grow in popularity year after year.

Use of Bootstrap's grid system and classes make it easier.
Consistency


Ability to fine tune your bootstrap package.
Support


Uniformity, same experience across Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox
Customizable


Use of ready made code blocks and pre-defined styles.
Large user community behind it. Constantly being updated. Lots of documentation
Themes

There are a large number of Themes available and either free or very inexpensive
Similar Responsive Frameworks

Bootstrap is not alone. There are numerous frameworks that are similar. The
key to picking one is to understand your requirements.

Semantic UI

ZURB Foundation

Skeleton

HTML Boilerplate

Almost infinitely more…
Bootstrap Components

Grids – Defining pages in terms of columns and rows

Typography – Headings / body elements

Glyphs – icons that are font based, scalable

Navigation – responsive navigation

Images – responsive images

Helper Classes – clearfix / show / hide / centers

Responsive Utilities – hide / show content via class

Javascript - Carousel, Tooltip, Tab, Modal, Alerts
Grid System

Easy to use grid system for creating rows & columns for your content

Example Grid: Mobile, Tablet, & Desktop
Media Queries

Allows you to craft CSS to scope media
features such as height or width.

Bootstrap has pre-defined breakpoints
mobile, tablet, desktop, & large desktop

Necessary to know in order to achieve
responsive.
Bootstrap & SP2013 / O365
My Personal Disclaimer

Mobile Design works best on sites where you the developer, designer, or
owner have the most control over the content being displayed and how
the users interacts with that content.

SharePoint Lists, Libraries, Web Parts, Page Layouts, Site Templates are
generally not responsive, and therefore can be difficult (sometimes
impossible) to convert.

To obtain 100% perfect mobile experience will take a lot of work. It’s
recommended that your sites have custom master page, css, page
layouts, and web parts.
What to Expect with SharePoint &
Bootstrap

SharePoint is semi-responsive, but some aspects cannot be made
responsive without extensive amounts of time and effort.

When creating new items (page layouts, web parts, display templates)
you’ll be able to put your best foot forward for mobile. As the screen real
estate increases your content will grow and gradually be enhanced.

When working with existing SharePoint components, you’ll be forces to
write media queries to gracefully degrade these items to work on smaller
screen real estate.
Getting Started

Bootstrap v.3.3.5

Bootstrap Content Delivery Network (CDN)

Install steps & Page Examples




Master Page Modifications

HTML5 doctype


Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements
and CSS properties that require the use of the
HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of
all your projects.
Meta Tags

To ensure proper rendering and touch
zooming, add the viewport meta tag to your
<head>.
SharePoint Considerations
Devices

Turn off Mobile Browsing

This will make mobile devices use the normal UI
Mobile Browsing View
SharePoint Considerations
Box Model Issues

Bootstrap uses border-box

SharePoint uses content-box

This causes SharePoint
components to look broken in
particular areas

Apply a reset to the broken
pieces
The Box Model Explained
Box Sizing Explained

border-box

content-box

The width and height properties (and
min/max properties) includes content,
padding and border, but not the
margin

The width and height properties (and
min/max properties) includes only the
content. Border, padding, or margin
are not included

SharePoint Considerations
Navigation

The most challenging task

You’ll need to change the default HTML markup


http://thomasdaly.net/2015/06/28/bootstrapresponsive-navigation-in-sharepoint/
Navigation will no longer be hover, but touch.

This can disable top tier nodes w/ children
SharePoint Considerations
Sites & Pages
Publishing (the way to go)

Publishing Feature is required

Publishing Sites use page layouts

Custom Page Layouts are the best
way to control how the page
responds

Wrap your Web Part Zones & Content
Areas in columns and rows using the
Bootstrap grid classes
Team Sites

Team Sites are not good because they
use Text Layouts

Text Layouts are pre-defined, not
customizable, and not responsive

Existing Team Sites pages would need
to be re-created using a custom
responsive page layout.
SharePoint Considerations
Web Parts

Try to plan ahead which web parts will be allowed, or define a set of web parts that
you will be primarily using throughout your site.

The best types of web parts are Custom, Data Views or Content By Search


Custom & Data Views – you can create the html markup and styles

Content By Search – you can utilize display templates which allow you to control the html.
(styles can be applied separately)
The worst types of web parts are Out Of The Box (OOTB) & List Views

Out Of The Box (OOTB) web parts you have no control over how they render.

List Views columns can break your design (unless you change to custom display template)
SharePoint Considerations
Site Templates

You can make Search, Wiki,
Community Portal, Blog Sites
responsive but not easily

Be prepared to write media
queries to override default styles
per each type of template

Difficult, Yes. Challenging, Yes.
But Possible
SharePoint Considerations
Lists & Libraries

Not very responsive and would be
very tough to make responsive

Similar issue are web parts, columns
and <tables> are the enemy.

Lists & Libraries are <table> based html
elements and these components are
not that responsive

Difficult, Extreme. Possible, with code?
