Framework: Bootstrap

[kfury77]

Bootstrap is the most popular front-end HTML/CSS framework. http://getbootstrap.com/
It's the most popular project on Github.com.

I'd really love if there was a plugin/framework add-on for WeBuilder which would offer auto-complete class names from the Bootstrap CSS and I'm sure other WeBuilder customers would appreciate it too.

Could you consider adding this as either a plugin or a framework from Options > Frameworks?

Alright, I'll add it to suggestions list, although I'm wondering how beneficial this would be considering we're only talking about class names.

Hi Aivars. Thanks for the reply. If it would be possible for you to start the plugin and just add a single class for now, I'd be very happy to take it over and add all the other classes. I'd be able to maintain the plugin and make it available for all to use.

I'd also be happy to then duplicate it and create one for jQuery Mobile and other popular frameworks.

I looked at the framework support we have right now and the problem is that currently frameworks can support things like PHP, JavaScript functions but not class names, i.e. when the underlying system was written nobody assumed this would be needed someday. So until CSS support is added to frameworking, this will have to wait.
Btw, I'm wondering if adding bootstrap folder to Library Path of the project would do the same thing?

I noticed on the 'What's New in WeBuilder 2016' page that 'Developers can now write plugins that alter auto complete dropdown lists'

Does this mean it should be simple to create a plugin to add WeBuilder CSS classes? I'd really love to see this. Would it be possible for someone to create a basic one with a single class name and then I would happily add all the others. (I don't know how to create a plugin that does that from scratch)

Once complete we could possibly make it available as a free plugin from the 'Plugin Catalog'.

[Aivars]

It might be possible but let's wait for the upgrade process to settle down a bit before I can start consider writing new plugins.

+1 bootstrap support / plug in

And if you do so - please keep in mind that they are on the way to finish bootstrap 4!

[kfury77]

@thwbn - yes, when Aivars helps me create the Bootstrap 3 plugin I'll use the template to create a Bootstrap 4 one and maybe others such as Material Design Lite by Google.

Same here. Anyone got any idea when this will be implemented?
