Ahhhh, the much-loved Bootstrap. No other front-end framework has revolutionized the web design world in the way that Bootstrap has. Put simply, it has allowed us to create consistent, mobile-first, and cross-browser layouts much faster and much better than ever before. And on top of that, every single aspect of it can be completely customized to our needs.
One great thing that separates Bootstrap from other frameworks is that it comes bundled with a selection of reusable components and jQuery plugins. You may use them; you may not. That is the beauty of Bootstrap; you have the choice.
Now you wouldn’t exactly say that Bootstrap’s components and plugins are limited, but sometimes you may need something that will extend its functionality. And, as you would expect, there are literally hundreds of plugins and addons available for extending Bootstrap, and no, I’m not going to list them all here. Instead, I have focused on just a selection of both free and premium that I feel would be the most useful to you and your next project.
is a touch-enabled, responsive and customizable image and video gallery. The images and videos are displayed via Bootstrap's modal dialog and comes with support for swipe, mouse and keyboard navigation, full-screen display, transition effects, and on-demand content loading.
