Migrating to v2

React-Bootstrap v2 adds full compatibility with Bootstrap 5. Because Bootstrap 5 is a major rewrite of the project, there are significant breaking changes from React-Bootstrap v1.

PLEASE FIRST READ THE UPSTREAM BOOTSTRAP MIGRATION GUIDE

View migration guide

React-Bootstrap only contains components that are present in vanilla Bootstrap. If functionality was removed from Bootstrap, then it was also removed from React-Bootstrap. This guide does not repeat information found in the upstream migration guide. Its goal is to document React-Bootstrap-specific API changes and additions.

Versioning​

We will continue to provide general maintenance for Bootstrap 4 components, because there are many projects that continue to depend on Bootstrap 4 support in react-bootstrap. react-bootstrap package versions will be as follows:

  • Bootstrap 3 support will continue in react-bootstrap versions < v1.0.0
  • Bootstrap 4 support will be in react-bootstrap versions >= v1.0.0
  • Bootstrap 5 support will be in react-bootstrap versions >= v2.0.0

We are not committing to keeping breaking changes in lockstep with bootstraps major releases, there may be a React-Bootstrap v3 targeting Bootstrap 6 depending on what's best for the project.
