Dirac equation is applicable only for fermions (specifically, just the electrons and positrons) and their antiparticles. There are still the bosons and their antiparticles to think about. A theory for bosons is quantum electrodynamics (QED) or quantum field theory of the electromagnetic interactions between fermions and bosons. The extensions of QED are the electroweak standard model and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) of the color charges of quarks and gluons. QCD is still not a complete theory until the Higgs bosons is discovered.
