Rails 7, Bootstrap 5 tutorial https://www.bootrails.com/blog/rails-7-bootstrap-5-tutorial/

Rails 7 has a very opinionated way to handle the front-end assets. Let's see how it works for Bootstrap 5.

At BootrAils, we are very excited that Rails 7 is out since mid-december, 2021. The frontend assets management is once again completely different. Rails 6 almost dropped Sprockets in favor of Webpack - see this article, now Rails 7 almost dropped Webpack in favor of jsbundling-rails (with esbuild) + import maps + Sprockets.

So we, as Rails developers, have choices. For this tutorial, we will use the default Rails 7 options - but we are not sure you should. That's the fear. Relief will be for the end of the article.

If you want a full setup of Bootstrap 5 with Webpacker, see that other article.
