Import Bootstrap 3 CSS into Angular 2+ with SASS as CSS

Question

I need to override some things in Bootstrap (3.3.7) CSS, so I need to load Bootstrap before all my other styles in order to do that. I understand the way to do that is to import it in my application's main styles.sass at the top of the document. But when I do this via:

@import ./bootstrap.css

I get:

ERROR in ./~/css-loader!./src/bootstrap.css
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot' in '/Users/bradley/Work/dashboard/src'

 @ ./~/css-loader!./~/postcss-loader!./~/sass-loader!./src/styles.sass

That didn't work because I didn't bring the fonts into the project.

That made me think there must be a more proper way to install bootstrap.

So then I found bootstrap-sass, and imported it using npm install bootstrap-sass --save, and then imported it into styles.sass with:

@import ../node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss

And I get:

ERROR in ./~/css-loader!./~/postcss-loader!./~/sass-loader!./src/styles.sass

Shouldn't there just be a clean way to do this?

I've come to learn Bootstrap for Sass has a variable just for this that directs it to where the fonts are. If they were installed with npm install bootstrap-sass --save, then you would want to import bootstrap-sass with these two lines at the top of your styles.sass:

$icon-font-path: "~bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/"
@import ../node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss

I'm assuming you're using webpack so you should just look into this thread:

Bootstrap.sass and Webpack
