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 ----- cheers, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
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.

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). gcotelli wrote

Hi If I install both i.e. A. gh:astares/Seaside-Bootstrap4 ... and ... B. gh:ba-st/willow-bootstrap then why is astares/Seaside-Bootstrap4 examples clobbered. how can this be set right: <http://forum.world.st/file/t368721/AstaresBS4-1.jpg> <http://forum.world.st/file/t368721/AstaresBS4-2.jpg> ----- cheers, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
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) Sanjay Minni wrote
