PrimeFaces Mobile will be deprecated so why don't using Bootstrap 4 for Responsive Framework as "Feature" ? #2812

Closed ssibitz closed 7 years ago

ssibitz commented 7 years ago

I have seen in the Primefaces 6.2 Roadmap that the PrimeFaces Mobile Renderkit will be deprecated.

So why don't include Bootstrap 4 instead of re-inventing the wheel by creating/using own stylesheet's and script's ? I know that Bootstrap 4 is currently in Beta-State, but it's stable enough to be used in a project as i have seen in my customer's Application.

I am currently using Bootstrap 4 in my project to build the site content in combination with Primefaces 6.1.6 and already sucessfully overwrite some Primefaces-Styles to be conform with Bootstrap and so it's responsive for our customers on Desktop, Tablet or Mobile Phone.

Another thing is that "including" Bootstrap 4 allowes the user to use additional components which also can be adapted for using with Primefaces (And currently not available in Primefaces): Navbar, Badges, Card's, ...

By the way - is there an option in Primefaces to add my "Own" components to it ?

I have some ideas :-)

Questions -> Forum ;) We don't need to bootstrap. We have a grid since many years and the user can use what they wan't. We have have a simple class "ui-fluid" so make it fluid in EVERY grid. For whole page layouts, we have our PrimeFaces Templates. But PF as component library, with own components instead of bootstrap widgets, we are not bound to any layouting framework.

New components should go though PrimeFaces Extensions.

If you would like to use bootstrap, you should try bootsfaces or butterfaces.

ssibitz commented 7 years ago

No - Bootsfaces/Butterfaces is not an option for me cause Bootstrap "Alone" has too less components inside for real usage inside a customer project.

On the other side Bootsfaces/Butterfaces only used Bootstrap 3 ...

A combination of Bootstrap 4 and Primefaces would be great but i see i have to do it by my own ...

@ssibitz for custom components as was mentioned you can suggest or write new components for PrimeFaces Extensions Project:
