Using Bootstrap for Kitura

Enabling Bootstrap for Kitura is straightforward. Kitura serves all static web pages using the middleware StaticFileServer. In the postInit() function of the app, add the following line after router.setDefault(templateEngine:) in /Sources/Application/Application.swift:

router.get("/", middleware: StaticFileServer())

The static file server will look for all the resources under the folder called /public. Take note that while this folder, in a Vapor project, is capitalized as /Public, the folder name is a Kitura project and is not capitalized.

Create it at the top directory of myJournal and create /css and /img subdirectories under /pubic.

You can proceed to copy custom.css and pier.png to /public/css and /public/img, respectively.
