A lightweight Symfony bundle that helps you scaffold and compile Bootstrap SCSS with scssphp. It ships three console commands:
bootstrap:init— scaffolds SCSS entry files underassets/scss/.bootstrap:compile— compiles SCSS to CSS (with sensible defaults and vendor‑aware import paths).bootstrap:purge— purges compiled Bootstrap CSS by scanning your templates.
- Ready‑to‑use SCSS entries (light and dark)
- SCSS → CSS via scssphp (pure PHP, no Node required)
- Writes readable and minified CSS in one run
- Optional source maps for each output (
--source-map) - Include paths for
vendor/twbs/bootstrap/scssout of the box - Purge Bootstrap CSS based on your templates (
bootstrap:purge) - Clean defaults and sensible paths
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- Symfony 6.4 or 7.x (framework‑bundle, console)
- Composer
- Dependencies:
twbs/bootstrap(>= 5.3)scssphp/scssphp(^2.0)jbsnewmedia/css-purger(^1.0)
Note: This is a regular Symfony bundle and expects a Symfony kernel (it is auto‑registered).
Install via Composer:
composer require jbsnewmedia/bootstrap-bundleIf not already present, Composer will install the required packages (twbs/bootstrap, scssphp/scssphp).
Create the default SCSS entry files under assets/scss/:
php bin/console bootstrap:init
# preview without writing files
php bin/console bootstrap:init --dry-run
# overwrite existing files
php bin/console bootstrap:init --forceFiles created:
assets/scss/bootstrap5-custom.scssassets/scss/bootstrap5-custom-dark.scss
Both entries import Bootstrap after your variable overrides in the correct order.
Compile with sensible defaults:
php bin/console bootstrap:compileDefaults:
- Input:
assets/scss/bootstrap5-custom.scss - Outputs:
- readable CSS →
assets/css/bootstrap.css - minified CSS →
assets/css/bootstrap.min.css
- readable CSS →
Readable output path can be adjusted via --output-normal.
Generate a source map:
php bin/console bootstrap:compile --source-mapCustom input/output paths:
php bin/console bootstrap:compile path/to/entry.scss public/css/app.cssAfter compiling, you can purge unused selectors by scanning your templates:
php bin/console bootstrap:purge \
--input=assets/css/bootstrap.css \
--output=assets/css/bootstrap-purged.css \
--templates-dir=templates \
--include-dir=src \
--include-file=assets/app.js \
--selector=collapse --selector=showScaffolds Bootstrap SCSS entry files.
- Options:
--dry-run— show what would be written without creating files-f, --force— overwrite existing files
- Alias:
boostrap:init(common typo)
Creates the following files in assets/scss/:
bootstrap5-custom.scss(light)bootstrap5-custom-dark.scss(dark)
Recommended order inside the files: functions → your variable overrides → Bootstrap import.
Compiles SCSS to CSS using scssphp.
- Arguments:
input(optional) — SCSS entry file; defaultassets/scss/bootstrap5-custom.scssoutput(optional) — minified CSS output file; defaultassets/css/bootstrap.min.css
- Options:
--output-normal,-O— readable (non‑minified) CSS output path; defaultassets/css/bootstrap.css--source-map— write a.mapfile next to each CSS output (readable and minified)
Preconfigured include paths (in this order):
vendor/twbs/bootstrap/scssvendorassets/scssassets
This allows imports like:
@import "functions";
@import "variables";
@import "bootstrap";Purges Bootstrap CSS by scanning your templates and keeping only the selectors that are found.
- Options:
--input,-i— path to input CSS file; defaultassets/css/bootstrap.css--output,-o— path to write the purged CSS; defaultassets/css/bootstrap-purged.css--templates-dir— template directories to scan (multiple allowed)--include-dir,-D— additional directories to scan (multiple allowed)--include-file,-F— additional files to scan (multiple allowed)--selector,-S— selectors to always keep (multiple allowed)--readable,-r— generate human‑readable (pretty) CSS output--dry-run— show stats without writing the output file
When using --source-map, a map is written for each output:
- Readable CSS:
assets/css/bootstrap.css+ mapassets/css/bootstrap.css.map - Minified CSS:
assets/css/bootstrap.min.css+ mapassets/css/bootstrap.min.css.map
Example console output:
Compiled (readable) assets/scss/bootstrap5-custom.scss -> assets/css/bootstrap.css
Source map written: assets/css/bootstrap.css.map
Compiled (minified) assets/scss/bootstrap5-custom.scss -> assets/css/bootstrap.min.css
Source map written: assets/css/bootstrap.min.css.map
If no map is written even though --source-map is set, please check that your SCSS source actually produces output and that the defaults were not overridden.
Light (created by bootstrap:init):
// Project-wide Bootstrap configuration
// -------------------------------------------------
// Order matters: load functions first, then override variables,
// then import Bootstrap.
// 1) Bootstrap functions (used in variable calculations)
@import "functions";
// 2) Your variable overrides (omit !default so they actually apply)
$primary: #ff0000;
// 3) Optional: load Bootstrap base variables
@import "variables";
// 4) Import full Bootstrap
@import "bootstrap";Dark (created by bootstrap:init):
// Dark mode build for Bootstrap
// -------------------------------------------------
// 1) Load Bootstrap functions
@import "functions";
// 2) Set dark-specific variables (adjust examples as needed)
$body-bg: #121212;
$body-color: #e6e6e6;
$primary: #0d6efd;
// Optional: load additional maps/variables from Bootstrap
@import "variables";
// 3) Import full Bootstrap
@import "bootstrap";- Input file not found
