Add Bootstrap icons as (optional) task

[viktorianer]

It took me 2 days to figure out, how to use this gem with bootstrap icons. Frustrating thing!

I would suggest adding a task to this gem, which helps start with Bootstrap 5 and Bootstrap Icons as quickly as possible.

Steps you need to add bootstrap-icons to a new app, created with rails new sample_app --javascript esbuild --css bootstrap.

# Add Bootstrap icons
say "Add Bootstrap icons"
run yarn add bootstrap-icons

append_file "app/assets/stylesheets/application.bootstrap.scss" do
  <<~SCSS 
  @import 'bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons';
  SCSS
end

inject_into_file "config/initializers/assets.rb", after: /.*Rails.application.config.assets.paths.*\n/ do
  Rails.application.config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("node_modules/bootstrap-icons/font")
end

I think I can add the steps on this task, but if we need more, I need some help.
Maybe it's better to add another installer?!

What do you think?
What about documentation?
