Hi team,
Last year Twitter announced the new version of Bootstrap. Wok currently uses a customized version of Bootstrap 3 Sass / SCSS files and looking at the Alpha code it seems that porting Wok to the new version won’t be difficult:

Samuel, Thanks for the RFC !!!
For my education, is this official final bootstrap 4 version or is it still kind of non stable version (alpha sounds like that to me) ? If so when will be the official bootstrap 4 ?
Yes, it is an Alpha version and they are still working and providing support for Bootstrap 3. They don’t post a roadmap but judging by Bootstrap 3 release log, they took
almost a year to move from RC2 to the first stable release, however, their community is bigger now and I don’t think they discarded everything from the old code in this new version so it may take less time until we have a public stable release. This is just
a study for future Wok releases.
-Browser Support: Ok!
-SCSS environment: Ok!
-Dropped glyphicons: Ok! We already use Font-Awesome
- Non-responsive usage of Bootstrap is no longer supported: Ok!
I recognize some classes from this document and I think that a minor drawback would be with the Media Queries that were already implemented throughout the application and some changes with the classes names. Ginger uses
a lot of “panel-“ classes that were replaced by “cards”, the “btn-default” button was renamed to “btn-secondary” and etc.
The major issue is with jQuery Bootgrid plugin. It seems that they’re not planning to port to Bootstrap 4 until it gets stable. I think we should port our jQuery Bootgrid code to Datatables.net, since it has a vast documentation
and it already supports Bootstrap 4:
https://datatables.net/examples/styling/bootstrap4.html
Any comments?
This will be major concerns as I feel lot of work if we have to do this.
When you say "It seems that they’re not planning to port to Bootstrap 4 until it gets stable"? Do you mean until bootstrap 4 not stabilized bootgrid
team will not port or bootgrid itself have stabilization issues and they would not port until they stabilize bootgrid ?
I’ve meant until Bootgrid is more stable and Bootstrap 4 final is released. They (Bootgrid team) don’t have any roadmap on their project, I’ve searched the Github page and found nothing. I’ll
try to reach the author to get a confirmation but the main reason why I suggested Datatables.net is due documentation and support. Datatables code is under MIT and they have a paid and free support forums.
I may have to install Bootstrap 4 alpha and jQuery Bootgrid current version to test compatibility but we already applied our styles over Bootgrid / Bootstrap tables and they work fine so we
don’t have to discard them if Bootstrap 4 final is released and Bootgrid isn’t updated, as long as the JS keeps working without any error. With Sass it is really easy to “namespace” some classes and keep the old Bootstrap table classes with the new ones if
necessary.
I did some digging and so far the only incompatible items I’ve seen are the Sort / Unsort icons and the pagination links (prev, next, first, last and the numbers). Within our Wok customization
we already replaced the sort icons with FontAwesome and I’m sure it is not difficult to replace the pagination links if we have to.
If we have an answer that bootgrid team will wait till bootstrap 4 get stabilized then I would not hurry in porting our jQuery Bootgrid code to Datatables.net, since it will involve huge effort in porting and at the same time in testing.
So in my opinion, readiness is good idea but at the same time we have to make sure we are not spending efforts in porting any of the existing code unless we know that there will be no support at all !!!
We have to take conscious decision !!!
Samuel
