`bootstrap_form`'s CSS File Not Installed/Installation Instructions Are Wrong

[lcreid]

For a long time, installation of Bootstrap Form's CSS file has been broken. And the installation instructions are not accurate.

Follow-up to #554 .

Context:

in new asset pipeline, Rails 8 resolves gems path (Propshaft) AFTER css building (cssbundling-rails).

So, I think, this line

@use "rails_bootstrap_forms";

doesn't work because file is in a gem and CSS preprocessor (sass for demo app) cannot find it.

Simple solution:

Change this line to include path:

"build:css": "node_modules/.bin/sass ./app/assets/stylesheets/application.bootstrap.scss:./app/assets/builds/application.css --no-source-map --load-path=node_modules" --load-path=$(bundle show bootstrap_form)/app/assets/stylesheets

Better solution

Extract CSS and JS to a NPM package

Thanks for the suggestion, @cocco111 . It doesn't feel right to be a Ruby gem and an NPM package, especially when the CSS is so small. But I'll certainly try your suggestion (unless you want to submit a PR for it 😄 ).
