Angular5 with Bootstrap4 performance?

I'm building an application with Angular5 and want to include bootstrap. I included Bootstrap4 which (the JS part of bootstrap) has dependencies on JQuery and Popper.js.

I also read about using CSS grid for more flexibility than bootstrap as an alternative to bootstrap.

Question:

Does using bootstrap significantly decrease performance (loading speed) because it has dependencies on JQuery and Popper.js?

Solution

  • Like the other members mentioned, you can use bootstrap 4 without scripts.

    Actually that for me seems the way to go, as bootstrap has specific angular packets that you can use (ng-bootstrap) to get the desired bootstrap features, like accordion, modals, datepicker etc. Check them out: https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/home

    So jquery scripts, specially for angular, are obsolete. Basic rule for any script should be: if you don't use it, don't include/load it. Much faster that way!
