Adding bootstrap javascript

[l4u]

What's the recommended way to load jQuery and Bootstrap JavaScript?

[koistya]

Bootstrap related files are going to be removed from this starter kit soon. You can use react-bootstrap as a replacement. Though keep in mind, while Bootstrap is an excellent solution for prototyping your initial project, it's generally not a good idea to use it in real web application projects.

Thanks!

@koistya Why bootstrap is not a good idea to use in real web apps?

Maybe you should think of this @koistya. This is not first request - #138

After looking at one of the grid css class that seems to have a similar class naming as bootstrap col-sm-4 at here, then I wonder why the index page doesn't show 3 columns instead. And realize that bootstrap wasn't included in the starter kit.

I use bootstrap as prototyping functionality. When it comes to building real application, I prefer not to use bootstrap because it is bloated and customization is not easy in my opinion.

I also think it is good to keep bootstrap as a separate part, because we may have a different css framework choice, such as Zurb Foundation.

@koistya About the col-sm-4 class, because it doesn't affect anything, do we need a grid system in the starter kit to make the column work? or perhaps we can remove the col-sm-4 class? (or it seems not critical perhaps it can be ignored at the moment)

@9gix good point, need to remove these col-sm-4 etc. classes to avoid confusion. Another idea is to convert static pages from Jade to Markdown.

That explains that then! I was asking about this on Gitter
