Hard dependency on bootstrap?

[rpbaltazar]

On the current project I don't use bootstrap. I'm using something that is requiring this plugin. Does it make sense that it is hardly dependent on bootstrap?

This plugin does not depend on bootstrap. You can easily roll your own styles.

https://github.com/johnny/jquery-sortable/blob/master/source/css/_base.sass Do I have to override this file then?

@johnny @rpbaltazar I'm having issues with this file too, since my project doesn't have bootstrap. I have a Rails app with Medium Editor + Medium Editor Insert Plugin that requires jquery-sortable and I have installed jquery-sortable with bower.

Rails compile css and js files.. Then it throws errors, first because of bootstrap that I don't have, and after removing _base.sass references it show errors because of un-initialized variables $linkColor $grayLighter $grayLight $grayDark

Is it supposed to boostratp file to have this variables?

[frahugo]

There seems to indeed be a dependency on Bootstrap:

Undefined variable: "$linkColor"

[emaiax]

yeah, it seems to be impossible to run without bootstrap.

anyone made it? 😕

[kleberpinel]

any update on it ? I'm still getting the same problem.

[wkurosawa]

It really looks that is tied to some bootstrap variables/files.

The only workaround that worked for me was editing _base.sass, commenting boostrap import and setting those un-initialized variables.

// @import bootstrap
$linkColor: blue
$grayLighter: gray
$grayLight: gray
$grayDark: gray

Commenting references to $iconWhiteSpritePath variable.

And also editing application.js to reference bootstrap files already included on vendor folder

//= require "./vendor/jquery"
//= require "./vendor/jquery.color"
//= require "./vendor/bootstrap-switch"
//= require "./vendor/bootstrap-scrollspy"
//= require "./vendor/bootstrap-dropdown"
//= require "./vendor/bootstrap-button"

Not the best solution I guess, but it allowed me to keep using it.

It is also causing production asset compilation failure when used with bower-rails since it auto-include & compile that application.css, unless you rake bower:clean.

[rpbaltazar]

Given that this repo seems to be kinda dead, the best solution so far is @wkurosawa's I guess.

I found out that it crashes, because rails' sprockets tries to compile application.[sass, js] files and doesn't find bootstrap file. pretty annoying as the plugin doesn't have that dependency. Is it possible to exclude this compilation?

rake bower:clean doesn't work for me, because it removes important files from other libraries. It is possible to fix it by creating bootstrap file (and other dependencies) in vendor/javascripts folder.

But personally I chose to remove the dependency from Bowerfile and include jquery-sortable.js into the repo.

is there any solution?
