Pack Popper.js to the main JS file

See original GitHub issue

I’m using the ES6 import syntax to import bootstrap and popper.js but I always get the error message, that Bootstrap needs popper.js as a dependency. This happens because popper.js is loaded after bootstrap.

Changing the input oder in the js file does not help.

How can I set popper.js as a dependency for bootstrap?

PS: I’m using browserify to handle the packaging.

Closed thanks to this PR (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/23735) which include Popper.js inside Bootstrap, so in our next release use bootstrap.bundle.js or bootstrap.bundle.min.js

Personally I think the popper.js dependency is a big mistake. Its tripped a few folks I know now and up until today I couldnt quite figure it out. The problem is for us north of the wall freefolk who just use <script> includes and dont go beyond jquery the whole ES6 things a total headscratcher. I have no idea how to set up a gulp or whatever pipeline with ES6 babble and all the other guff. Hell, even SASS confuses me a bit. I’m your average user!

If it cant be integrated in, perhaps at least some documentation in the getting started section on how to include the UMD version (I think? Thats how I managed to blunder into getting it to work) of popper.js to make stuff work again, because as it stands, its pretty damn confusing.
