I never liked hit with CSS. I hate to deal with HTML make up a lot. I prefer to work with JavaScript and omit styles if possible. Maybe it’s only because I’m not an expert in this area.
That’s why I use Bootstrap framework where it’s possible. It allows everybody to create pretty good UI’s for web application with minimal knowledge of styles and CSS.
In a real word, I don’t even want to use Bootstrap directly in web applications based on modern libraries and frameworks like React and Vue.js. These tools force you to use components instead of code and layout duplication. There are great projects like Bootstrap + Vue and React-Bootstrap which do all wrapping around Bootstrap to provide us ready to use components.
I didn’t find anything for using custom HTML tags as Bootstrap components but I don’t need it now. Maybe it’s easier to create such library by hands.
There are a lot of other CSS frameworks like Bulma which is used for this blog and you can find ready to use React/Vue/Angular components for them. What I want to say you with this post, is that CSS framework are almost ‘must have thing’ for modern websites and there is a big ecosystem around them. We should not waste our time by implementing standard components. We can use existing and implement more interesting things.
