Overview of this book

Bootstrap is the most popular open source project on GitHub today. With a little bit of know-how, this massively popular CSS framework can leveraged for any type of complex web application or website. Bootstrap Site Blueprints Volume II will teach you to build these types of projects in an easy-to-understand fashion. The key to any complex Bootstrap project is a strong development foundation for your project. The book will first teach you how to build a Bootstrap development environment using Harp.js, Node, and Less. In the next chapters, we’ll build on this foundation by creating restaurant and mobile-first aggregator projects. Once you’re warmed up, we’ll move on to more complex projects such as a wiki, a new magazine, a dashboard, and finally a social networking website. Whether you are brand new to Bootstrap or a seasoned expert, this book will provide you with the skills you need to successfully create a number of popular web applications and websites.

Coding the profile page


The profile page is the public-facing page of your social network. If someone is searching for you on the website, this is the page that they will see. In this first template, we will define a three-column layout that will be used through all the pages of this project. We'll also set up some new partials for the sidebar elements of the profile. In this way, we can modularize the design and reuse some of the parts where it makes sense. Let's start by creating a new file called index.ejs and saving it to the root of the project. As I mentioned, our project will have a three-column layout built upon the following grid:

  • I'm using the container-fluid class here because I want the layout to span the entire width of the viewport

  • I'm using a three-column grid of 25%, 50%, and 25%

    <div class="container-fluid">
      <div class="row">
        <!-- left side //-->
        <div class="col-lg-3">
          ..
        </div>
        <div class="col-lg-6">
          ..
       ...
