Answer
You are using Angular v6 not 2
Angular v6 Onwards
CLI projects in angular 6 onwards will be using angular.json instead of .angular-cli.json for build and project configuration.
Each CLI workspace has projects, each project has targets, and each target can have configurations.Docs
. {
"projects": {
"my-project-name": {
"projectType": "application",
"architect": {
"build": {
"configurations": {
"production": {},
"demo": {},
"staging": {},
}
},
"serve": {},
"extract-i18n": {},
"test": {},
}
},
"my-project-name-e2e": {}
},
}
OPTION-1
execute npm install bootstrap@4 jquery --save
The JavaScript parts of Bootstrap are dependent on jQuery. So you need the jQuery JavaScript library file too.
In your angular.json add the file paths to the styles and scripts array in under build target
NOTE:
Before v6 the Angular CLI project configuration was stored in <PATH_TO_PROJECT>/.angular-cli.json. As of v6 the location of the file changed to angular.json. Since there is no longer a leading dot, the file is no longer hidden by default and is on the same level.
which also means that file paths in angular.json should not contain leading dots and slash
i.e you can provide an absolute path instead of a relative path
In .angular-cli.json file Path was "../node_modules/"
In angular.json it is "node_modules/"
"build": {
"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
"options": {
"outputPath": "dist/ng6",
"index": "src/index.html",
"main": "src/main.ts",
"polyfills": "src/polyfills.ts",
"tsConfig": "src/tsconfig.app.json",
"assets": [
"src/favicon.ico",
"src/assets"
],
"styles": [
"src/styles.css","node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],
"scripts": ["node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"]
},
OPTION 2
Add files from CDN (Content Delivery Network) to your project CDN LINK
Open file src/index.html and insert
the <link> element at the end of the head section to include the Bootstrap CSS file
a <script> element to include jQuery at the bottom of the body section
a <script> element to include Popper.js at the bottom of the body section
a <script> element to include the Bootstrap JavaScript file at the bottom of the body section
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Angular</title>
<base href="/">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

</html>
OPTION 3
Execute npm install bootstrap
In src/styles.css add the following line:
@import "~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css";
OPTION-4
ng-bootstrap It contains a set of native Angular directives based on Bootstrap’s markup and CSS. As a result, it's not dependent on jQuery or Bootstrap’s JavaScript
npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap
After Installation import it in your root module and register it in @NgModule imports` array
import {NgbModule} from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
imports: [NgbModule.forRoot(), ...],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
NOTE
ng-bootstrap requires Bootstrap's 4 css to be added in your project. you need to Install it explicitly via:
npm install bootstrap@4 --save
In your angular.json add the file paths to the styles array in under build target
"styles": [
"src/styles.css",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],
P.S Do Restart Your server
ng serve || npm start😉
