Are you saying Angular and Bootstrap provide you the same things? I do not see in what world those two are synonymous, one is basically a glorified ui kit with some limited js backed widgets, the other is a framework for building applications.
- ryanSrich 11y agoNo. Not at all. Let me explain. I see two groups of bootstrap users: 1. Those that use the framework for JavaScript tooling. Things like dropdowns, hamburger menus, tooltips, etc. They typically don't use any of the prepackaged bootstrap styling. This was me for a long time. 2. Those that use the framework for both aesthetic specific CSS and JavaScript. Angular helps Group 1 rid themselves of bootstrap. Group 2 is largely helpless.
- merpnderp 11y agoSo....asking for a friend. But why is using bootstrap for #2 a bad thing?
- ryanSrich 11y agoIt's not necessarily a bad thing. What I meant was that it's much harder to convince someone already relying on prepackaged styling to abandon that for a custom UI. The full-bootstrap-stack is perfectly fine for things like side projects.
- PSeitz 11y agoIt's not, bootstrap gives you a nice starting point to design your application.
- pbreit 11y agoYou might have misread. He's wondering if you need Bootstrap when you're using Angular and suggesting that you don't. No where does he conflate the two.
