Twitter's Bootstrap was one of my favorite projects to come out of
2011, but having used it regularly it left me wanting two things:
The ability to work side-by-side with jQuery UI (something which
caused a number of widgets to break visually) The ability to theme
jQuery UI widgets using Bootstrap styles. Whilst I love jQuery UI, I
(like others) find some of the current themes to look a little dated.
My hope is that this theme provides a decent alternative for others
that feel the same. To clarify, this project doesn't aim or intend to
replace Twitter Bootstrap. It merely provides a jQuery UI-compatible
theme inspired by Bootstrap's design. It also provides a version of
Bootstrap CSS with a few (minor) sections commented out which enable
the theme to work along-side it.
If don't store it locally and use the link that they provide you might have an improved performance.The client might have the scripts already cached in some cases. As for the case of jQueryUI i would recommend not loading it until necessary.
They are both minimized, but you can fire up the console and look at the network tab and see how long it takes for it to load, once it is initially downloaded it will be cached so you shouldn't worry afterwards.My conclusion would be yes use them both but use a CDN
Yes you can use both. js bootstrap from twitter is a collection of jquery plugins. There shohuldn't be any conflict with jQuery UI.
Regarding bandwidth overload, it really depends on how you handle the requests to load all of your js files. if you really dont want to make multiple requests to the server to request for each file, just append them together and minimize. Or you probably can get rid of some js bootstrap plugins you dont need. it is very modular.
Edit: as @Freshblood there are a few things that still conflict. However, as originally posted Twitter suggests that they are working on this and it largely works, specially compared to v1.
In my limited experience I am coming across issues as well. It appears that JQuery elements (such as buttons) can be styled using bootstrap CSS. However, I am experiencing issues having created a JQuery UI tab and wanting to lock a bootstrap only input (using the input-append class) to the bottom of each tab, only the first sits correctly. So, JQuery tabs + Bootstrap buttons = probably not.
The data-role="none" is the key to make them work together. You can apply to the elements you want bootstrap to touch but jquery mobile to ignore.
like this
input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" data-role="none"
For future reference (since this is google's top answer ATM), to prevent jQuery UI from overriding bootstrap's or your custom style, you need to create a custom download and select the no-theme theme. That will only include jQuery UI's resets, and not overload bootstrap's style for various elements.
While we're at it, some jQuery UI components (such as datepicker) have a native bootstrap implementation. The native bootstrap implementations will use the bootstrap css classes, attributes and layouts, so should have a better integration with the rest of the framework.
Kendo UI has a nice bootstrap theme here and a set of web UI comparable to jquery-UI.
They also have an open source version that works nicely with the theme.
Although this question specifically mentions jQuery-UI autosuggest feature, the question title is more general: does bootstrap 3 work with jQuery UI? I was having trouble with the jQUI datepicker (pop-up calendar) feature. I solved the datepicker problem and hope the solution will help with other jQUI/BS issues.
I had a difficult time today getting the latest jQueryUI (ver 1.12.1) datepicker to work with bootstrap 3.3.7. What was happening is that the calendar would display but it would not close.
Turned out to be a version problem with jQUI and BS. I was using the latest version of Bootstrap, and found that I had to downgrade to these versions of jQUI and jQuery:
jQueryUI - 1.9.2 (tested - works)
jQuery - 1.9.1 or 2.1.4 (tested - both work. Other vers may work, but these work.)
Bootstrap 3.3.7 (tested - works)
Because I wanted to use a custom theme, I also built a custom download of jQUI (removed a few things like all the interactions, dialog, progressbar and a few effects I don't use) -- and made sure to select "Cupertino" at the bottom as my theme.
