how to override react-bootstrap with custom css file

Question

I use react-bootstrap, but I want to modify some of the elements, so I wrote my own custom.css. However it doesn't make any changes (only when I put !important, but the file is so large so it's not a good option).

import {MenuItem, Nav, Navbar, NavBrand, NavDropdown, NavItem} from "react-bootstrap";
import {LinkContainer, MenuItemLink} from "react-router-bootstrap";
import '../assets/css/custom.css';

This is what I did so far.

First of all make sure you're loading your custom.css after that react plugins CSS and also use proper selector , of doing these you won't have to use !important. — vivekkupadhyay

When are you importing the Bootstrap CSS? I have an app which successfully uses Bootstrap with some overrides, which does this at the top of its index.js:

require('bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css')
require('./bootstrap-overrides.css')
