[Kimchi-devel] [WOK] [RFC} Checking Bootstrap 4 compatibility + dropping jQuery Bootgrid

[Samuel Henrique De Oliveira Guimaraes]

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:

http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/migration/

-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?

Samuel
