UPDATED following a thorough examination:
In the process of upgrading our application from NG-Boostrap v11 with bootstrap 4 to NG-Boostrap v15 with Bootstrap 5 and Popper, we also made the switch from Angular 15 to Angular 16. Despite successfully resolving numerous breaking changes associated with the bootstrap update, we are facing an issue where all Bootstrap variables are returning as undefined.
We have ensured that all necessary SCSS files are imported correctly and our configurations appear to be in order after utilizing "ng add @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap" for setup. However, the persistent problem remains with the variables displaying as undefined.
It is important to mention that the CSS files compile without any errors, yet the variables persist as undefined within the browser.
