Gridstack doesn't use bootstrap 3 classes. Why you say it's bootstrap 3 friendly.

Q:

Original issue #390:

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance but on your site you write "responsive bootstrap v3 friendly layouts" but how?

In none of the examples you actually make use of any bootstrap classes. You add it to head but if you do that with gridster it works exactly the same..

What does gridstack do different then gridster?

Reason I'm asking is because I have bootstrap HTML templates I want to put them in the grid so users can move it all around .. then when done have a normal html page (without the draggable grid). I thought gridstack would help to do that in favor of gridster but so far I have not seen any difference between the 2..

Thanks!

A:

We never declare that gridstack uses bootstrap classes. We say that gridstack could be responsive (widgets are not fixed width) it works well on bootstrap 3 pages with fixed or responsive layout. That's why it says bootstrap 3 friendly.

It wasn't a goal for gridstack to create bootstrap 3 layouts. It's not a goal now neither. The goal of gridstack is to create dashboard layouts with draggable/resizable widgets.

Gridstack uses internal grid to implement its logic. DOM nodes are just interpretation of this grid. So we or you probably could create a third party library which exports this internal grid into bootstrap 3/bootstrap 4/absolute divs/whatever layout. But I don't see this as part of gridstack core. As the same as support of angular/knockout/whatever libraries. We're doing all necessary for smooth support but it will never be a part of core.

The main idea is to build as simple and flexible lib as possible.

How can I create a static layout using gridstack.

Q:

How can I create a static layout not using jQuery UI, etc.

A:

The main propose of gridstack is creating dashboards with draggable and/or resizable widgets. You could disable this behavior by setting static option. At this point you will probably still need to include jQuery UI. But we will try to decrease dependency of it in near future.
