+## Usage with JavaScript frameworks
+
+While the Bootstrap CSS can be used with any framework, **the Bootstrap JavaScript is not fully compatible with frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular** which assume full knowledge of the DOM. Both Bootstrap and the framework may attempt to mutate the same DOM element, resulting in bugs like dropdowns that are stuck in the "open" position.

+- Vue: [BootstrapVue](https://bootstrap-vue.org/)
+- Angular: [ng-bootstrap](https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/)
