I am working on using a bootstrap template to help a friend with a landing page. I am having a similar issue as others, but there solutions are not working for me. Everything works properly on my LocalHost, but when I push it to Heroku, the Bootstrap Dropdown toggle does NOT work...
I am a junior developer trying to learn and challenge myself here, so please explain your answer if applicable. Thank S.O
I have also ran these codes after I think I have a solution ...
heroku run rake assets:reset
heroku run rake assets:precompile
This is my Application.js file
//= require bootstrap
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
// Bootstrap core JavaScript
#import "jquery.min.js";
#import "bootstrap.bundle.min.js";
//Plugin JavaScript
#import "jquery.easing.min.js";
//Contact form JavaScript
#import "jqBootstrapValidation.js";
#import "contact_me.js";
//Custom scripts for this template
#import "js/agency.min.js";
Application.scss File.
*
*= require_self
*/
#import "bootstrap";
#import "font-awesome.css";
#import "bootstrap.min.css";
#import "agency.min.css";
#import "agency.css";
#import "font-awesome.css";
#import "font-awesome.min.css";
See this standard format, more explanation see the Rails Guide Asset Organization.
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap
//= require jquery.easing
//= require jqBootstrapValidation
//= require contact_me
//= require js/agency.min
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
Without these lines remove all from application.js file, look here is jquery.easing for this you need to install jquery.easing gem and the jqBootstrapValidation you need to install jqBootstrapValidation gem or if you have those original files then just import to the directory like app/assets/javascripts/jqBootstrapValidation.js and application.js the same which is now.
You don't need
#import "jquery.min.js";
#import "bootstrap.bundle.min.js";
because these have already in the asset pipeline. It should work.

With the bootstrap rails gem, we are able to customize which CSS to include like this:
#import "bootstrap/mixins";
#import "bootstrap/root";
#import "bootstrap/reboot";
#import "bootstrap/type";
#import "bootstrap/images";
But on the JS side, the following includes ALL of the Bootstrap components:
require bootstrap-sprockets
Is there a way to include some of Bootstrap's JS components and not everything to remove bloat?
Yes.. it is possible.
I have this gem installed
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.2.0'
and the application.js
// Only require the bootstrap parts we need //= require bootstrap-sprockets
// Collapse and dropdown for nav
//= require bootstrap/modal
//= require bootstrap/collapse
//= require bootstrap/dropdown
There are already similar questions on SO, but not enough clear responses to understand the following issue.
My goal is to setup Rails 5 with Bootstrap using Bower.
Using Bower I installed Bootstrap in the the folder:
vendor/assets/bower_components/bootstrap-sass
Then, I updated initializers/assets:
Rails.application.config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join('vendor', 'assets', 'bower_components')
Then I added the gem 'sass-rails' to Gemfile and updated application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap-sass/assets/javascripts/bootstrap
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
The assets for JS seem to be working well: if I load http://localhost:3000/assets/application.js
I can see that the Bootstrap JS part has been added there.
The problem is about Sass (SCSS):
I added bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap into application.css.scss but with no success:
/*
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
#import "bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap";
*/
in fact if I load http://localhost:3000/assets/application.css I see:
/*
#import "bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap";
*/
(the folder specified on the #import is containing many _*.scss files and a mixins folder)
The questions are:
Do you have any ideas why this is not working?
should not I see on assets/application.css all the CSS precompiled?
PS:
Any resource to understand the issue would be much appreciated.
Move the import, so it's outside the /* .. */
/*
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
*/
#import "bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap";
[Removed misleading instructions to use require instead of import, as I was wrong.]
In addition to the accepted answer, if you look into the bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets directory, you'll notice that there is no file bootstrap.scss but rather one prefixed with an underscore.
Also, usually it's better to import only modules you actually need from the bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/ directory instead of the main _bootstrap.scss file.
I know this type of question has come up before on SO, and I have tried every solution I could find, but nothing seems to work. The javascript is working fine, but for some reason, I can't get the datepicker window to go in the right spot or format correctly. After testing multiple gems, I keep getting this:
There are no errors in my console. Here is what my related gems look like in my Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails', "~> 2.3.0"
gem 'bootstrap-sass'
gem 'bootstrap-datepicker-rails'
And here is my application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_self
And my application.css has:
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
As for the actual html file, it looks like this (application#index.html)
<input type="text" data-behaviour='datepicker' >
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-behaviour~=datepicker]').datepicker();
})
</script>
Any and all ideas are welcome.
UPDATE:
It seems like my bootstrap css files aren't loading at all. Do I need to use css.scss files? I can't seem to find a straightforward answer online. Manually inserting the css into my application.css file results in this:
Just for a sanity check give the standard jquery datepicker a shot. I generally use it with bootstrap.
app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require jquery.timepicker.js
//= require_tree .
app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require jquery.ui.datepicker
*= require jquery.timepicker.css
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
app/assets/javascripts/your_model.js.coffee
jQuery ->
$("#div_id_here").datepicker dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
Since you're using bootstrap-sass, you can (and should) use #import statements instead of *= require statements for your css.scss files. This allows you to define and use variables, etc amongst all of your css.scss files, which allows for full customization of Bootstrap and its components. I'm not sure if there could be something else wrong with your configuration... but I'd suggest starting here anyway since none of your css is showing up. So your application.css.scss file would look like:
# #import any file that may contain variables you'd like to use in any libraries
# added below this point (e.g. `defines.css.css`)
#import "bootstrap_and_overrides";
#import "bootstrap-datepicker";
# #import "whatever other .css.scss files you have...";
Then in bootstrap.css.scss you'd individually import each of the desired bootstrap CSS components after "overriding" any variables. Here is what you need to start from:
variables (this is the basis your variable/style "overrides", placed at the tope of your bootstrap_and_overrides.css.scss file.)
bootstrap components (this is the core of your bootstrap_and_overrides.css.scss file.)
I am having trouble with getting my bootstrap popover to work correctly in my rails application. I have tried solutions to other questions with no success.
Currently in my HTML I have:
<i class="icon-exclamation-sign" id="info" rel="popover" data-content="some info"></i>
and
<script>
$(function () {
$(".icon-exclamation-sign").popover();
});
</script>
My application.js looks like:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_tree .
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-popover
and my application.css looks like:
/*
*= require_tree .
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
*/
And I get the error: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'popover' when loading the page. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Also I have tried just using require bootstrap instead of tooltip and popover in my application.js with no luck.
Try putting the code under /app/assets/javascripts/ and see if it changes anything.
/javascripts/some_name.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".icon-exclamation-sign").popover();
});
Actually I think the problem is that //= require_tree . should be last, try the following:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-popover
//= require_tree .
Same for application.css
I finally figured out the problem by following the advice here.
I had to add the line to my development.rb file:
config.serve_static_assets = false
Try the rake assets:clean command. This should delete any legacy JS/CSS that hasn't picked up your changes.
With most browsers you can view the source of the page to check the versions of the the asset files it's using, see if your changes are being picked up in there and if they aren't, this might work.
Bootstrap datepicker just won't work for me. I know this question has been asked before but after searching a long time I could not find an answer.
I have the following configurations. When loading the page, the input field appears but no calendar to select appears when clicking on the field. Any help is very appreciated.
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap
//= require_tree .
//= require prototype
//= require prototype_ujs
//= require effects
//= require dragdrop
//= require controls
//= require bootstrap-datetimepicker
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_self
$('[data-behaviour~=datepicker]').datepicker()
application.css
/*
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
*/
custom.css.scss
#import "bootstrap";
#import 'bootstrap-datetimepicker';
and in the view
<input type="text" data-behaviour='datepicker' >
I have tried a couple of variations suggested in other topics on stackoverflow, but none of them worked. E.g.,
$(function() {
$('#dp5').datepicker()
});
together with
<input class="span2" id="dp5" readonly="" value="02-02-2012" size="16">
does not work neither.
Have you tried this gem: https://github.com/lubieniebieski/bootstrap-datetimepicker-rails ?
It will pack your Javascript and CSS required for datetimepicker into rails asset pipeline properly.
This problem happens because of the jquery version in your case
//= require jquery
Try downloading another version of the jquery and replace your current one. I had the exact same problem and that was the solution. Try with versions 1.5 or 2.0 or something like that.
Also, please note that by:
//= require_tree .
You are including .js files from the javascript directory, so please be sure that you haven't downloaded another version of jquery and you are automatically including second version also. You will have conflict issues.
If it all doesn't work you can try to look at the answer here also jQuery in Rails 3.2 not displaying datepicker
Important:
Make sure when you are testing to refresh your page with ctrl+ F5 ! It will refresh the whole page from the beginning and it will not include cashed elements and this is very important as you might find a solution, but due cashing you will not notice the change and you could miss the solution only because of the cashing.
