dioxus-bootstrap-css

Complete 1-to-1 Bootstrap 5.3 component library for Dioxus. 50+ components covering every Bootstrap CSS class and JS behavior — modals, dropdowns, carousel, accordion, offcanvas, tooltips, and more — all driven by Dioxus signals. Zero JavaScript. Offline-first. Type-safe.

Live Showcase | API Docs

Design rule: If Bootstrap does it, we do it. If Bootstrap doesn't, we don't.

Why?

Pixel-perfect — Uses the actual Bootstrap 5.3.3 CSS, not a reimplementation
Zero JavaScript — Modals, dropdowns, tabs, collapse, accordion, offcanvas, carousel — all driven by Dioxus signals
Offline-first — CSS and icon fonts bundled as static assets via asset!()
Type-safe — Bootstrap classes become Rust enums and props; no magic strings
Drop-in migration — Convert Bootstrap HTML templates to RSX with minimal changes

Quick Start

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dioxus = { version = "0.7", features = ["web"] }
dioxus-bootstrap-css = "0.2.1"

use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_bootstrap_css::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    dioxus::launch(app);
}

fn app() -> Element {
    let theme = use_signal(|| Theme::Dark);

    rsx! {
        ThemeProvider { theme: theme }
        BootstrapHead {}

        Container { class: "py-4",
            h1 { "Hello, Bootstrap!" }
            Row { class: "g-3",
                Col { md: ColumnSize::Span(6),
                    Card {
                        header: rsx! { "Getting Started" },
                        body: rsx! {
                            p { "Bootstrap in Dioxus — fully offline, fully Rust." }
                            Button { color: Color::Primary,
                                Icon { name: "rocket-takeoff", class: "me-1" }
                                "Launch"
                            }
                        },
                    }
                }
                Col { md: ColumnSize::Span(6),
                    Alert { color: Color::Success,
                        Icon { name: "check-circle", class: "me-2" }
                        "Everything works out of the box."
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Dark Mode

let theme = use_signal(|| Theme::Dark);
rsx! {

ThemeProvider reactively sets data-bs-theme on <html> — Bootstrap handles the rest.

How It Works

+-------------------------------------+
|          Your Dioxus App            |
|  +-------------------------------+  |
|  |    dioxus-bootstrap-css       |  |
|  |  +-----------+ +------------+ |  |
|  |  | Bootstrap | | Dioxus RSX | |  |
|  |  | 5.3 CSS   | | Components | |  |
|  |  | + Icons   | | + Signals  | |  |
|  |  +-----------+ +------------+ |  |
|  +-------------------------------+  |
+-------------------------------------+

CSS — Real bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap-icons.min.css, bundled via asset!()
Icons — Font files inlined as base64 data URIs (works with Dioxus asset hashing)
Signals — Replace all Bootstrap JS behaviors; no <script> tags needed
Components — Type-safe RSX wrappers that emit standard Bootstrap HTML classes

Examples

See the examples/ directory:

showcase — Every component demonstrated in a tabbed interface (live demo)
dashboard — Realistic admin dashboard with navbar, tables, modals, charts
