Modern JavaScript Applications

By: Narayan Prusty

Overview of this book

Over the years, JavaScript has become vital to the development of a wide range of applications with different architectures. But JS moves lightning fast, and it’s easy to fall behind. Modern JavaScript Applications is designed to get you exploring the latest features of JavaScript and how they can be applied to develop high-quality applications with different architectures. Begin by creating a single page application that builds on the innovative MVC approach using AngularJS, then move forward to develop an enterprise-level application with the microservices architecture using Node to build web services. After that, shift your focus to network programming concepts as you build a real-time web application with websockets. Learn to build responsive, declarative UIs with React and Bootstrap, and see how the performance of web applications can be enhanced using Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Along the way, explore how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold with high performance techniques. By the end of the book, you’ll be a skilled JavaScript developer with a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.

Chapter 9. New Features of Bootstrap 4

Bootstrap 4 is the latest version of Bootstrap at the time of writing. This version makes Bootstrap more powerful and easy to customize and use. In this chapter, you will learn about the new features of Bootstrap 4 with examples. I will assume that you already have some knowledge of Bootstrap and know how to create responsive websites using it. If you are new to Bootstrap or responsive web design, you can find good books to learn Bootstrap from scratch from the Packt catalog. We will use Bootstrap 4 to design all the projects we will be building from this chapter onwards.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Various ways to download Bootstrap 4

  • The compatibility of Bootstrap 4

  • Support for Flexbox

  • Customizing Bootstrap 4
