Bootstrap 5 Migrate Tool

LICENSE: MIT GitHub Super-Linter GitHub stars image

A command-line script designed to help you upgrade your Bootstrap 4 projects to Bootstrap 5. It uses gulp with gulp-replace to replace class names within your folder of HTML pages/templates.

Features

  • Replaces all the Bootstrap 4 class names with the renamed Bootstrap 5 class names
  • Replaces deprecated components (such as .jumbotron and .media) with utility classes
  • Renames all the data attributes (such as data-toggle and data-target) to the new names
  • Updates all Bootstrap v4 CDN links (cloudflare, jsdelivr, stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com and unpkg) to latest version of Bootstrap v5
  • Options to overwrite the existing files in place or save the migrated files to a different folder
  • Can convert not only HTML files but also ASP, CSHTML, EJS, ERB, HBS, JSP, PHP, VUE, and other template files
  • Provides a summary of the changes made

Usage

Clone this repo and then run the following command:

npm install

Copy your HTML templates to the src folder.

Then run the following command to start the migration:

npx gulp migrate

The migrated HTML templates will overwrite the files in place by default. If you want to keep the original files, you can use the --dest flag to specify a destination folder. See the Options section for more details.

Read the official Bootstrap 5 migration guide here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/migration/

Options

Options that may be set via CLI flags. For example: npx gulp migrate --src "./src-dir" --overwrite --verbose

  • src: './src' - string that will be passed to the gulp {@link src} function
  • dest: ./- string that will be passed to the gulp {@link dest} function
  • overwrite: true - overwrite the existing files in place. Cannot be used with --dest flag
  • verbose: true- print the path of each generated / modified file to the console
  • defaultFileGlob: '**/*.{asp,aspx,cshtml,gohtml,gotmpl,ejs,erb,hbs,html,htm,js,jsp,php,ts,twig,vue}' - default glob for files to search in. Default: Search all folder and files recursively

Demo

Post-migration Tips

  • Use the Bootstrap Deprecated Classes browser extension on your site post migration to see if anything is missed
  • If you used negative margins/padding classes (e.g, .mt-n1 or .pb-n2) note that these are not included in the Bootstrap CSS CDN so you may want to add those
  • Note that Bootstrap v5 no longer includes print styles. Consider using: Bootstrap Print CSS
  • Bootstrap has issues with Windows Contrast themes. Consider using: Bootstrap Forced Colors CSS
  • You probably don't need to support Internet Explorer 11 anymore, but if you do consider using: Bootstrap-ie11
