Angular Material or Bootstrap? Stop asking the question! - Amadou Sall | NG-DE 2019

Angular Material AND Bootstrap for your next Angular application? It doesn’t make sense, does it? The first time I talked to my colleagues about combining the two, they laughed at me. But now, they love the approach because it works like a charm. In this session, we will see how we can leverage the best parts of both libraries to build beautiful, maintainable, and responsive Angular applications with very little CSS.

I like this guy. Very clear and practical.

At 19:15 He asks which one is the best and he is met with silence! lol. I would have yelled "BOOTSRAP!! IT HAS MORE TICKS!" lol

This was a very useful presentation. I'm glad I found it.

I have the same point of view. Take the best of both worlds. :) I love the cdk, and material and bootstrap too. Most of the times I can't decide the style (Bootstrap/Material) of our new project, but under the hood I use both. I have a project, where I hacked the MatTab to look like a bootstrap tab but still have all the functions MatTab has :) I like the mobile first world view, and it makes me sad, that the material team did not take this path too. :/

I m using bootstrap and angular together

Just saw this speech and I am speechless... Google spent millions on their Material Design and this guy want's to mash it with Bootstrap just to make things look beautiful? Beauty is just a tiny part of UI design....

Tailwind css would be perfect fit for this.

Hi Amadou, we just have this discussion in our project. So your speech is very helpful. But what I don't fully understood is the maintainability at the end. How do I get rid of my CSS classes when removing HTML? Is there a blog or something that explains it?

[jeffnikelson]

even in this presentation you define your own utility classes. But why not just use material + tailwind instead

[ntxmike]

How much does this increase the size of your app....using both bootstrap and material?

[nuriksat]

Does anybody know where I can find a starter example for this
decision?

[SkoomaIceCoffee]

its all great until you actually start working on it and face the reality of official documentations.
