Bootstrap 5 coming?

[mark]

I’m new to AppGini and Bootstrap but have learned enough to see that Bootstrap 3.3.x is two major releases behind version 5.

Is there a future release of AppGini that will use a newer Bootstrap version?

Also, are there tutorials available on heavy customization of an AppGini app?

I’m wanting a sidebar for nav instead of the top bar. I’d also like to use a different, more modern look for home screens and table and record views.

TIA

Yes, Bootstrap 5 is planned for future releases. We plan to first restructure the files to implement separate views to make this upgrade more streamlined. For customization tutorials, please see: https://bigprof.com/appgini/help/advanced-topics/

Ah, good to hear and maybe timely for something Im planning. Do you have rough timelines in mind, Ahmed?

*Any thoughts (did I say nay!)

Hopefully before this year end. I've made it a top priority due to popular demand and users feedback

That's great news, if we can have Field-Based Security with this update as well, could be a killer Christmas combo

@BigProf:
When migrating to B5 please use the extended version including jQuery an not the standard vanilla version, because we have thousands of lines of code using jQuery.

Also, can you please consider removing the $j = jQuery.noConflict() setting, because this brings so many conflicts when trying to integrate with 3rd party libraries, for example with VUE or certain jQuery-plugins which rely on $.

Oh man, I don't know if all that could fit in one Christmas stocking
