Bootstrap itself is already chock-full full of useful tools, extensions and components, and is more than enough to kick-start most web projects. But there will be times where the basic components are not quite enough for what you need. That is where this post comes in. We have assembled 50 extensions, plugins and addons for extending Bootstrap.
Rather than group the extensions into relevant categories, as we normally would, we have instead opted to create an A-Z listing, which should make it much easier for you to find the addon you are looking for.
Everything you could possibly need is included below, from buttons, breadcrumbs and calendars, to tree menus, video players and WYSIWYG editors. If you feel we have missed anything please do include it in the comments below.
