Compare to React Bootstrap in README? #34
Comments
@chillu great questions. This came up before in a reddit thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/4g76jj/reactstrap_react_bootstrap_4_components/d2fejq6
I think it's worth noting differences. I think it's partially preference and feature set. I'll keep this open to track this. |
Great, thanks for the quick response! |
Update: this was asked again and I just want to add some additional feedback.
I made a suggestion that it was worth noting the differences but I won't be adding that. On second thought that seems weird. I will add some follow up thoughts from #58 to help others that are looking for something like that.
There's a ton of great work in both projects and many others that inspired this project. Definitely take time to evaluate them and see what works and what is important to you. |
Now that react 4 is out, and react-bootstrap is going to start a heavy migration to support v4, is it worth trying to merge these projects together so we don't have 2 react + bootstrap v4 libraries? It really seems like the combined time of everyone involved would be better off tackling 1 library together and solving the issues faster, rather than having both libraries solving all the same problems twice. |
This is the definitive library. It works with bootstrap 4 and is well maintained. Please don't comment on old issues that are already closed. |
This is not obvious to new players (and hence how I ended up here also.)
I'm new to react, but not new to web development or bootstrap. I simply don't know enough about react or the ecosystem to be able to do my own diligence in a reasonable amount of time. For example, the "About the Project" section of the README doesn't mean anything unless you're already familiar with the ecosystem. So I'm just going to pick one and see how it goes, all the while feeling vaguely uncomfortable that I'm doing the wrong thing, which adds to my already long list of things I'm uncomfortable about learning a new ecosystem. That's fine for me, I'll work through it, but please do consider adding some words that would help ease the learning burden for new users. |
We're an open source CMS (silverstripe.org) which is redesigning the CMS UI in React, and we're planning to use Bootstrap to make it easy for contributors to customise. At the moment, we're planning to integrate React+Bootstrap via the https://react-bootstrap.github.io/ project. Your repo has just come on our radar, looks like you're making great progress with covering the bootstrap APIs!
Would you be able to give some insight on why you decided to start this project, rather than contributing to https://react-bootstrap.github.io/? I think a lot of potential users of your library would have the same question, so it might be worth listing notable differences in the README?
Feel free to close this issue if you think its inappropriate to make direct comparisons to other libraries (it's technically not a bug). We're just interested in your take to aid our own evaluation of these two libraries :)
