This recipe extends the Display Builder Base recipe to provide a ready-to-use Bootstrap experience in Drupal thanks to UI Suite Bootstrap and UI Suite modules.
Introduction
A site-builder-friendly Bootstrap theme. Use Bootstrap parts (components, helpers, utilities, and layouts) directly from the Drupal back office (Layout Builder, Manage Display, Views, Blocks, Flags, and more) in a low-code way.
-
UI Suite provides a cohesive set of modules to implement full design systems in Drupal.
-
Display Builder leverages the full UI Suite API in a modern visual builder.
