Quick start

Looking to quickly add Bootstrap Table to your Bootstrap v3 project? Use CDN, provided for free by the folks at UNPKG. Using a package manager or need to download the source files? Head to the downloads page.

CSS

Copy-paste the stylesheet <link> into your <head> before all other stylesheets to load our CSS.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-table@1.21.4/dist/bootstrap-table.min.css">

JS

Place the following <script>s near the end of your pages, right before the closing </body> tag, to enable them. jQuery must come first, then Bootstrap.js, and then our JavaScript plugins.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-table@1.21.4/dist/bootstrap-table.min.js"></script>

Starter template

Be sure to have your pages set up with the latest design and development standards. That means using an HTML5 doctype and including a viewport meta tag for proper responsive behaviors.

Put it all together and your pages should look like this:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-HSMxcRTRxnN+Bdg0JdbxYKrThecOKuH5zCYotlSAcp1+c8xmyTe9GYg1l9a69psu" crossorigin="anonymous">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-table@1.21.4/dist/bootstrap-table.min.css">

    <title>Hello, Bootstrap Table!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <table data-toggle="table">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Item ID</th>
          <th>Item Name</th>
          <th>Item Price</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>1</td>
          <td>Item 1</td>
          <td>$1</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>2</td>
          <td>Item 2</td>
          <td>$2</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>

    <script src="https://unpkg.com/jquery@3.7.0/dist/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap@3.4.1/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-aJ21OjlMXNL5UyIl/XNwTMqvzeRMZH2w8c5cRVpzpU8Y5bApTppSuUkhZXN0VxHd" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-table@1.21.4/dist/bootstrap-table.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

HTML5 doctype

Bootstrap Table requires the use of the HTML5 doctype. Without it, you’ll see some funky incomplete styling, but including it shouldn’t cause any considerable hiccups.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  ...
</html>
