Less dependency ? More modularity ?

[lionel-bijaoui]

Hello,

I was wandering if it could be possible to use less dependency or smaller, more focused one. For example, what is the use of jQuery ? Why Bootstrap ?
It is something that is actually stopping me from using this component, because I don't want to bloat my web app with jQuery and Bootstrap. It's a shame really because I really need the functionality provided by your component.

Also, I could be awesome if we could choose the kind of input in a more modular way.
For example, if I don't use range slider fields, I could avoid ion.rangeSlider. If I want to use noUiSlider instead, I could create a new submodule easily. It seem to be already possible, but I wanted to be sure.

I'm ready to help, if you think this is technically possible.
Thank you for your hard work.

Hello,

jQuery and Bootstrap is not required dependent, just optional. If you want to use bootstrap-based optional components, you need load these libraries too.
If you see jquery is not used in the components. Just in the examples. But I plan to change the bootstrap-* components to other vanillaJS components. E.g bootstrap-select to vue-multiselect

Shortly, if you don't load jQuery & Bootstrap, you can use the 13 built-in fields properly.
Like this: https://jsfiddle.net/0mg1v81e/13/
If I remove bootstrap it will be ugly, need some CSS, but working :)

Btw I'm accept any help, because I'm working other projects too.

Okay, sorry, it wasn't very clear that you could do without them from the Doc/Readme.
That perfect ! I'm going to test the component in my project and start styling.

vue-multiselect would be fantastic. I'm going to look at the source code and see if I can help with that. I'm not a super ninja dev so don't expect great/fast/any result from this. 😶

Thanks a lot for your fast answer !

👍 Happy testing :)

I understand you are working toward the 0.4.0, but I would like to continue toward less dependency.
My main goal is to get rid of jQuery. So I need to implement bootstrap based field using other lib. I'm choosing the most popular equivalent (most stars on github).
Remaining fields:

• DateTime field -> Pikaday
• Masked input field -> VanillaMasker
• Slider field -> noUiSlider

What do you think about that ?

@lionel-bijaoui it's great idea. I want to independent from bootstrap too. I create a new issue about it and create a new branch because it is a bigger development. Right?

Ok 😎
