Summary


In this chapter, we explored how you can decrease the amount of markup in your views, using HTML helpers. We also looked at how you can write helpers that will enable developers who are not familiar with the Bootstrap framework to use helpers to add styled components to their views.

In the next chapter, we'll dive into generating scaffolded views that are correctly styled using the Bootstrap styles and layouts.
