Add bootstrap-select support to BootsFaces

[cooperlyt]

in my old project I use bootstrap-select, it is Good!

do you have plan add bootstrap-select to BootsFaces?

If I work on this now , Are you accept my pull requests?

I want create a component selectMenu for bootstrap-select, This component has conflicts with the b:selectOneMenu and b:selectMany.

or I create other project， depends on the bootsFaces?

I believe your b:selectMenu component should be an extension of b:selectOneMenu. Which is to say: it should support the same attributes. Shouldn't be a problem, from what I saw at their website. If you manage that: go ahead!

Do you already know about our XText plugin? It generates a lot of the code and even of the documentation of your components. The bad news it that it runs only on Eclipse. In any case - have a look at our **/BootsFaces.jsfdsl file, add your component and it's attributes there. I believe you'll cope. If not, don't hesitate to ask us.

Thanks in advance Stephan

Have a look at https://github.com/stephanrauh/JSFLibraryGenerator/tree/master/plugins. There you can find the current version of the plugin and a short installation instruction. Hope that helps!

Hi, I am moving this issue on v1.1;

• I don't see any b:selectMenu component implementation yet
• the selectOneMenu already have a bootstrap-select look and feel (thanks to the form-control CSS class)

The interesting features of bootstrap-select are already delivered from the

Bootstrap Multiselect - http://davidstutz.github.io/bootstrap-multiselect/

plugin, used to implement the b:selectMultiMenu component.

We can discuss if bootstrap-select would better fit the implemented functions and has a better look and feel. I would be personally favorable to consider switching from bootstrap-multiselect to bootstrap-select if it covers all the features we need, also because it is also used by PatternFly.

@asterd , @stephanrauh @zhedar , what do you think?

[stephanrauh]

Patternfly is a good reason to migrate to another component. We should consider this.

Currently, we've got the select2 widget, which is also very good. I believe we can close this ticket.
