Hello DEV.to community!
Today I want to tell you about an NPM package that I recently came across and had the opportunity to try in my projects: tw-bootstrap-grid.
What Does This Package Do?
To summarize, tw-bootstrap-grid is a minimal utility package that recreates Bootstrap's classic grid system with Tailwind CSS classes. It serves as a bridge for those who like Bootstrap's grid system but prefer to use Tailwind.
Why did it catch my attention?
When using Tailwind CSS, I sometimes look for the ease of Bootstrap's grid system. Especially when setting up a 12-column layout on mobile, it can take time to manually set Tailwind classes such as col-span, grid-cols. At this point, the simple but effective structure of tw-bootstrap-grid saved me time.
Compatible with Tailwind v3 and v4
tw-bootstrap-grid works seamlessly with both Tailwind CSS v3 and v4 versions. I tried it with v3 in my own projects, then switched to v4 and didn't experience any incompatibility.
This is a nice advantage for those who want to use the package in the long term.
As the Tailwind ecosystem is constantly being updated, lightweight solutions that offer such version compatibility are really valuable.
Have you tried tw-bootstrap-grid or a similar plugin?
I'd love to hear your experience or thoughts about mixing Bootstrap-style layout with Tailwind. Drop a comment below 👇
