Why aren't my React Bootstrap Glyphicons showing?

Viewed 35080

I'm using React Bootstrap's Glyphicon component but none of the glyphicons are showing up. Here is my code so far:

Index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Global from './components/Global';

ReactDOM.render(
    <Global />, 
    document.getElementById('root')
);

Global.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { FormGroup, FormControl, InputGroup, Glyphicon } from 'react-bootstrap';

class Global extends Component {
    render() {
        return(
          <div>
            <h2> Book Explorer!</h2>
              <FormGroup>
              <InputGroup>
                <FormControl
                  type="text"
                  placeholder="Search for a book"
                />
              <InputGroup.Addon>
                <Glyphicon glyph="search"></Glyphicon>
              </InputGroup.Addon>
            </InputGroup>
            </FormGroup>
          </div>
        )
    }
}

export default Global;

Here's my package.json file:

{
  "name": "setup",
  "version": "1.0.0",

    "presets": [
      "es2015",

I believe the react-bootstrap doesn't include the glyphicons component, (I have checked the components there : https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/alerts/)

So you would need to add glyphicons on top of the react-bootstrap package :

In the index.html file, add the following line :

<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css" rel="stylesheet">

This should solve the issue without importing a second time the whole bootstrap css.
