Telling the Bootstrap story

Milk and Honey covers greenfield systems-level design, but what's our plan for handling and maintaining styling going forward? I've taken a rough stab at prioritizing and summing up the work we've been discussing – let's discuss and fill in gaps.


Paragon as reactstrap
Let's talk about Tyler's idea for a Paragon based on reactstrap. What does everyone think? How might we approach an implementation like this?

Notes

Cookiecutter

  • Todo:
    • Docker stuff
    • CSS stuff
    • Tests
    • Deployment flow
    • Linting
    • Boilerplate cleanup command
    • Track all this via GH issues

Reactstrap

  • Paragon asInput form group makes customization difficult
  • Many Paragon-ish things already exist in Reactstrap
  • Lots of peer dependencies – added bloat?
    • Are there alternatives?
  • API easy to use
  • Easy to build on top of
  • Do we really need Reactstrap?
    • Just a lightweight stateless wrapper on top of Bootstrap classnames
    • Overkill?
    • Easy for non-FEDs to understand
    • What if we're making a static HTML page?
    • Division: Paragon components vs. Bootstrap components
      • Is this implementation split a major issue?
