Bootstrap4 package or Willow

Hi

this is a slightly open question but I want to have views to help me on
choose the more appropriate Bootstrap4 package for a large Business
Application:

A. gh:astares/Seaside-Bootstrap4 ... and ...
B. gh:ba-st/willow

The application will have mostly
- single form like UI
- Form + Multi line UI
- Flat reports (mostly Tabular text data) but export to PDF/Xlsx
- Some graphs

Thanks

Re: Bootstrap4 package or Willow

I think it mostly depends on the kind of app you're envisioning.

If you're going to do a lot of AJAX and partial updates to the page without navigating to new pages I must say that Willow is aimed to ease this kind of interaction.

If you're thinking of not using so much AJAX, then stick with plain Seaside + astares/B4.

For charting, you can also use ba-st/HighchartsSt wrapper with or without Willow, or DuneSt/ChartJs.

Regards,

Gabriel

Re: Bootstrap4 package or Willow

Thank you Gabriel,

As of now I do not have partial page updates to auto push back / sync.
Any section of the page update / refresh is triggered explicitly by a
button.

I will take a shot at Willow for future possibility,
hopefully it will not be a steep learning curve though the code in examples
are at times daunting (Particularly to find out the overall application
flow).

set right:

Re: Bootstrap4 package or Willow

OK this sounds wierd - I installed one more image only with
astares/Seaside-Bootstrap4 then
astares/Seaside-Bootstrap4 examples started working fine on both images. I
continued to work just fine even after I removed the second image

Note i am installing thru PharoLauncher, both images are in their own
folder, However in settings Iceberg is pointed to a common folder in
c:\iceberg (I am using windows - this is to get past the long filenames
problem)
