How to include bootstrap css and js in reactjs app?

If you are new to React and using create-react-app cli setup, run the npm command below to include the latest version of bootstrap.

npm install --save bootstrap

or

npm install --save bootstrap@latest

Then add the following import statement to index.js file. (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/getting-started/webpack/#importing-compiled-css)

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

or

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

don’t forget to use className as attribute on target elements (react uses className as attribute instead of class).
