    To use Bootstrap in React, install it via npm or use a CDN.

    1️⃣ Method 1: Using Bootstrap via npm

    βœ… Run the following command:

    sh
    npm install bootstrap

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • This installs Bootstrap locally in your React project.

    βœ… Import Bootstrap in src/index.js or src/App.js:

    javascript
    import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';

    html
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • Bootstrap loads globally, but won’t be part of your package dependencies.

    πŸ”Ή 3. Using Bootstrap Components in React

    You can use Bootstrap classes just like in normal HTML.

    βœ… Example: Bootstrap Button in React

    javascript
    import React from "react";

    <Button variant="primary">Click Me</Button>
    </div>

    );
    }

    Both Bootstrap and Material UI (MUI) are popular UI frameworks for React.

    Feature Bootstrap Material UI (MUI)
    Design Language Traditional Modern, Google Material Design
    Customization Uses SCSS variables Uses Theme Provider
    Components Prebuilt components Advanced, customizable components
    Integration Requires Bootstrap or react-bootstrap Uses @mui/material library

    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
    <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/800x400" class="d-block w-100" alt="Slide 3">
    </div>
    </div>

    <!-- Navigation Buttons -->
    <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExample" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon"></span>

    <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/800x400" class="d-block w-100" alt="Slow Slide 2">
    </div>
    </div>

    <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#slowCarousel" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#slowCarousel" data-bs-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon"></span>

    βœ”οΈ Pre-built UI interactions – Modals, dropdowns, carousels, tooltips, etc.
    βœ”οΈ Works with data attributes – No need to write custom JavaScript.


    πŸ”Ή 2. How to Use Bootstrap’s JavaScript Plugins

    Bootstrap plugins can be used in two ways:
    1️⃣ Using Data Attributes (No JavaScript required)
    2️⃣ Using JavaScript API (More control and flexibility)

    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
    This modal is controlled with JavaScript.
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>

    <script>
    const myModal = new bootstrap.Modal(document.getElementById('jsModal'));

  • Lesson 22: Form Validation & Error Handling

    πŸ“Œ Objective: Learn how to implement form validation and handle errors using Bootstrap’s built-in validation system and JavaScript.


    πŸ”Ή 1. Introduction to Form Validation & Error Handling

    Form validation ensures that users enter valid data before submission.

    πŸ’‘ Why Use Form Validation?
    βœ”οΈ Prevents incorrect data submission.
    βœ”οΈ Enhances user experience with instant feedback.
    βœ”οΈ Bootstrap provides built-in styles for validation.


    πŸ”Ή 2. Bootstrap’s Built-in Form Validation

    Bootstrap uses CSS classes to indicate form validation states.

    βœ… Example: Basic Validation with .is-invalid & .is-valid

    html
    <form>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Email</label>
    <input type="email" class="form-control is-invalid" placeholder="Enter your email">
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Please enter a valid email.</div>
    </div>

    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Username</label>
    <input type="text" class="form-control is-valid" placeholder="Valid username">
    <div class="valid-feedback">Looks good!</div>
    </div>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    </form>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • Red input field (is-invalid) appears for incorrect input.
    • Green input field (is-valid) appears for correct input.

    πŸ”Ή 3. Adding JavaScript-Powered Validation

    Bootstrap’s validation system works with JavaScript.

    βœ… Example: JavaScript-Powered Validation

    html
    <form class="needs-validation" novalidate>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Email</label>
    <input type="email" class="form-control" required>
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Please enter a valid email.</div>
    </div>

    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Password</label>
    <input type="password" class="form-control" required>
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Password is required.</div>
    </div>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
    </form>

    <script>
    document.querySelector("form").addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
    if (!this.checkValidity()) {
    event.preventDefault();
    event.stopPropagation();
    }
    this.classList.add("was-validated");
    });
    </script>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • Invalid fields show an error message (invalid-feedback).
    • If fields are valid, the form submits.

    πŸ”Ή 4. Customizing Error Messages

    You can customize validation messages for better UX.

    βœ… Example: Custom Validation Messages

    html
    <form class="needs-validation" novalidate>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Username</label>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="username" required>
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Username cannot be empty!</div>
    </div>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">Submit</button>
    </form>

    <script>
    document.querySelector("form").addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
    let username = document.getElementById("username");
    if (username.value.trim() === "") {
    username.classList.add("is-invalid");
    event.preventDefault();
    } else {
    username.classList.remove("is-invalid");
    }
    });
    </script>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • The error message appears if the username field is empty.

    πŸ”Ή 5. Adding Regex Pattern Validation

    Use regex patterns to enforce specific input formats.

    βœ… Example: Phone Number Validation

    html
    <form>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Phone Number</label>
    <input type="tel" class="form-control" id="phone" pattern="[0-9]{10}" required>
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Please enter a 10-digit phone number.</div>
    </div>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">Submit</button>
    </form>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • Only 10-digit numbers are accepted.

    πŸ”Ή 6. Displaying Real-Time Validation Messages

    βœ… Example: Live Validation Feedback

    html
    <form>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Email</label>
    <input type="email" class="form-control" id="liveEmail" required>
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Invalid email format.</div>
    </div>
    </form>

    <script>
    document.getElementById("liveEmail").addEventListener("input", function () {
    if (this.checkValidity()) {
    this.classList.remove("is-invalid");
    this.classList.add("is-valid");
    } else {
    this.classList.remove("is-valid");
    this.classList.add("is-invalid");
    }
    });
    </script>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • The input turns green (is-valid) when correct and red (is-invalid) when incorrect.

    πŸ”Ή 7. Adding Password Strength Validation

    Password validation ensures secure passwords.

    βœ… Example: Password Strength Indicator

    html
    <form>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Password</label>
    <input type="password" class="form-control" id="password" required>
    <small id="passwordHelp" class="form-text">Must be 8+ characters, include numbers & symbols.</small>
    <div class="invalid-feedback">Weak password.</div>
    </div>
    </form>

    <script>
    document.getElementById("password").addEventListener("input", function () {
    let password = this.value;
    let regex = /^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[@$!%*?&])[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{8,}$/;

    if (regex.test(password)) {
    this.classList.add("is-valid");
    this.classList.remove("is-invalid");
    } else {
    this.classList.add("is-invalid");
    this.classList.remove("is-valid");
    }
    });
    </script>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • Green input when password meets criteria.
    • Red input when password is weak.

    πŸ”Ή 8. Handling Server-Side Validation Errors

    Sometimes validation errors come from the backend.

    βœ… Example: Displaying Server Errors

    html
    <form>
    <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Email</label>
    <input type="email" class="form-control is-invalid">
    <div class="invalid-feedback">This email is already taken.</div>
    </div>
    </form>

    πŸ”Ή What happens?

    • Server response triggers an error message.
