DISCUSSION: Do we want to use React + Foundation?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Foundation is a responsive front-end framework that comes with many components that have been built and styled and made responsive already by experienced frontend developers.
React + Foundation is a repackaging of Foundation into React components that we can use pretty easily.
Example:
Pros:
- The developers of Foundation are much more skilled at making responsive components than we are
- Less time wasted styling common use-case elements like text fields, text, buttons, info-containers, etc.
Cons:
- Not everyone has experience with Foundation
- I don't want to make the project too beginner-unfriendly.
Overall, I think it could save us a lot of time though.
Thoughts?
React + Foundation seems like a great choice IMO. In the past I've always jumped into using React Bootstrap (which is also amazing, and is what you and I are using for our 242 project, lol 😛 )
Also, added benefit with react bootstrap is that anyone familiar with bootstrap will be able to sue the same bindings they expect with react bootstrap (like <Col xs={6} md={4} />)
So that's my vote on the discussion
