🧩 Bootstrap Components – In-depth

🔰 Bootstrap Component Architecture

Every component in Bootstrap is built using:

HTML structure
CSS utility classes
(Optional) JavaScript behavior

Let’s explore more Bootstrap components with detailed syntax, features, and examples.

🔶 1. Accordion

The Accordion allows toggling content within collapsible items (great for FAQs).

🔹 Example:

<div class="accordion" id="faqAccordion">
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h2 class="accordion-header" id="headingOne">
      <button class="accordion-button" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseOne">
        What is Bootstrap?
      </button>
    </h2>
    <div id="collapseOne" class="accordion-collapse collapse show" data-bs-parent="#faqAccordion">
      <div class="accordion-body">
        Bootstrap is a front-end toolkit for designing responsive sites.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

✅ Use Case: Display course modules or FAQs in a collapsible format.

🔶 2. List Group

Used for displaying lists of content in a clean and styled manner.

🔹 Example:

<ul class="list-group">
  <li class="list-group-item active">Dashboard</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">Profile</li>
  <li class="list-group-item">Settings</li>
</ul>

✅ Use Case: Navigation sidebar in admin panels or user profiles.

🔶 3. Pagination

Used to navigate between pages of content (like a blog or data table).

🔹 Example:

<nav>
  <ul class="pagination">
    <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Previous</a></li>
    <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">1</a></li>
    <li class="page-item active"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
    <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">Next</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

✅ Use Case: Paginate search results, blog posts, or product listings.

🔶 4. Progress Bar

Shows task progress like file upload or course completion.

🔹 Example:

<div class="progress">
  <div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" style="width: 70%;">70%</div>
</div>

✅ Use Case: Show student progress on a learning management system.

🔶 5. Dropdowns

Toggleable menus for options or navigation.

🔹 Example:

<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown">
    Select Course
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu">
    <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">MCA</a></li>
    <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">MBA</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

✅ Use Case: Filter options, account menus, selection categories.

🔶 6. Spinners (Loaders)

Indicate loading or processing state.

🔹 Example:

<div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
  <span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>

✅ Use Case: Show while data is loading or forms are being submitted.

🔶 7. Breadcrumbs

Shows navigation path (useful for sub-pages or hierarchy).

🔹 Example:

<nav>
  <ol class="breadcrumb">
    <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Courses</a></li>
    <li class="breadcrumb-item active">Web Development</li>
  </ol>
</nav>

✅ Use Case: Show current page location within app or site hierarchy.

🔶 8. Toast Notifications

Lightweight alert boxes that appear briefly and disappear.

🔹 Example:

<div class="toast show" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true">
  <div class="toast-header">
    <strong class="me-auto">Notice</strong>
    <small>Just now</small>
    <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="toast"></button>
  </div>
  <div class="toast-body">
    Course added successfully!
  </div>
</div>

✅ Use Case: Notifications like “Login successful”, “File uploaded”, etc.

🔶 9. Tooltips & Popovers (Expanded View)

Tooltips show small text on hover; popovers display more info on click.

Tooltip:

<button class="btn btn-info" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="This is a tooltip">Hover Me</button>

Popover:

<button class="btn btn-warning" data-bs-toggle="popover" title="More Info" data-bs-content="Details about this topic.">Click Me</button>

✅ Use Case: Add explanations, hints, or extra info.
