BootstrapCDN

BootstrapCDN is the easiest and fastest way to get started with Bootstrap, Font Awesome, Bootswatch and Bootstrap Icons. Simply visit the main site and copy the URLs you need. New versions of all projects are pulled directly from NPM.

Or follow the instructions bellow for more advanced use cases.

Example CDN links

These will pull the 4.6.0 version. It is safe to use SRI with static versions like this.

<!-- CSS only -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- JavaScript Bundle with Popper -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

Version aliasing

To auto-update to latest minor version you can specify for example 4 as the version in the URL. You will then get the latest v4 version available with a delay of up to 7 days.

<!-- CSS only -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- JavaScript Bundle with Popper -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

Warning: Do not use SRI hashes with dynamic URLs like this or the next update will break your site.

A more detailed documentation is available on jsDelivr's Github page.

Using the API to pull versions

For certain use-cases it is possible to automate updates using our API. You can use it to get the list of versions available on the CDN including the latest one.

https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/bootstrap
{
	"tags": {
		"latest": "4.6.0",
		"previous": "3.4.1",
		"next": "5.0.0-beta2"
	},
	"versions": [
		"5.0.0-beta2",
...
		"4.6.0",
...
	]
}
