README

NREL Bootstrap is a Bootstrap-based theme that implements the NREL Application standard theme - NREL ://github.com/NREL/nrel-app-template-bootstrap4.

NREL Boostrap has a dependency on https://github.com/NREL/nrel-app-template-bootstrap4 to ease the update process when the base theme changes.

Find out more about the standards at https://www.nrel.gov/comm-standards/web/application.html and view the demo at https://www.nrel.gov/comm-standards/web/app-template/index.html.

The Drupal 8 version of the theme is a sub-theme of Bootstrap. This issue tracks the status of a Bootstrap 4 or 5 implementation. Because there is no BS4 or 5 implementatation ready, the Drupal 9 version of NREL Bootstrap uses Bootstrap Barrio as it's base theme.

For Drupal, we prefer developers use the package rather that going directly to github. This is because using the package will guarantee that developers are using a stable version (with version numbers) rather than something that is unstable. In addition the packages will automatically stay up to date for such things as security remediations.
