##Overview This is the nuget package for quickly adding Twitter Bootstrap to an ASP.Net MVC 4 application.
See the overview blog post for screen shots and features. This is a User Interface project that does not require a specific data access or architecture for you MVC applications. The author has some opinions but those are kept in another project that builds on top of this UI package.
##Features
- JS and CSS bundling/minification of Twitter Bootstrap files the MVC4 way
- Incorporate a jQuery validation fix to work with the bootstrap javascript
- Razor Layout templates using Twitter Bootstrap markup.
- Menus using Navigation Routes, including submenus and hiding menus by context(logged in vs anonymous)
- Runtime Scaffolding – default Index, Edit and Detail views.. You provide the POCOs and we will render the CRUD views.
- Post Redirect Get support using the Bootstrap Alert styles.
- A Sample to show how to use all of this stuff
Things we are working on:
- MVC code templates to generate new views from the mvc add view / add controller dialogs
- Strongly typed Html Helpers to render bootstrap concepts like icons
##Install To view a working sample, install the twitter.bootstrap.mvc4.sample in to a MVC4 Empty (template) project.
