[question] ngx-boostrap 11 and bootstrap 3

[devildant]

Description: hello, during the migration of my application from a14 to a16, I noticed with dismay that bootstrap 3 was no longer supported (setTheme('bs3') return an error) is there a solution to keep using it ? (ngx-boostrap 11 with bs3) because the cost of a migration to bs4 or higher is pharaminous on my project

best regards

Hi @devildant , first up: I am not connected to this project at all. Just a fellow library user.

The documentation states that Angular 14 is the last version to support BS3.

I checked the difference between v10 and v9 of ngx-bootstrap and you can see that they removed BS3 completely from the project (including all references). Unfortunately, there seems to be no possibility to use the newer version of ngx-boostrap.

When you use the old ngx-bootstrap version with a new Angular version, you will get the peer-dependency error. One way to bypass this issue is to use npm install --legacy-peer-deps to willfully ignore the Angular version requirement. However, I cannot tell you if you will see any issues regarding this, you will need to try it out.

Hope I could help a little bit. Cheers!

Hello @StefanTirea, thx for your reply, that's what I feared, I also looked without success. legacy mode could allow me time to either migrate bootstrap or remove ngx-bootstrap to keep only the css
