Creating a Pug Template with Tabs Using Bootstrap

In this article, we will explore how to create a Pug template from scratch using Bootstrap's design and structure. We will also be fetching data from the Random User Generation API to populate our template. Our goal is to recreate the same layout and design as an official Bootstrap example, specifically their Album example.

To get started, let's talk about what we're going to achieve by the end of this article. We want to have a final Pug template that uses tabs to display user data. To give you an idea of how our finished product will look like, let's take a closer look at Bootstrap's official documentation and their examples.

In this case, we won't focus on the various options, settings, and properties available in Bootstrap because they have already provided excellent documentation for that. Instead, we'll dive straight into creating our own template from scratch using Pug.

Pug is a high-performance template engine heavily influenced by HTML and implemented with JavaScript for Node.js and browsers. It's simple, fast, and flexible, making it an ideal choice for creating reusable HTML code. The syntax of Pug simplifies the creation and reuse of HTML code, making it easy to get started with.

Pug is not limited to Node.js; there are also ports available for other languages like Java, Python, Ruby, etc. In this article, we'll show you how Pug works and how you can use it to create a template with tabs using Bootstrap's design.

To start building our template, let's first fetch some data from the Random User Generation API. This API provides free random user data that we can use to populate our template.

Once we have fetched the data, we'll recreate the same structure and design as Bootstrap's Album example using Pug. We'll create a basic layout with tabs and then fill those tabs with user data.

By the end of this article, you should have a solid understanding of how to create a Pug template from scratch using Bootstrap's design and structure. You'll also learn how to fetch data from an API and populate your template with that data.

So let's get started!
