| I'm backend developer and have to build a frontend for my project.
Can write simple JS, but would avoid Big Javascript Frameworks )) This should be an almost static site: - some pages will contain a kind of custom search component:
an input field with 10-12 checkboxes/dropdowns containing HTML+JS+CSS. already have a working prototype. - other pages like About/Contact/FAQ/Help - completely static, pure Bootstrap HTML/CSS (and minimal JS) Question1: suggest a TEMPLATE ENGINE.
Something similar to Jekyll would be great (used Jekyll in the past - the template system is OK, but not the Ruby parts of it). Something that has good integration with Bootstrap and Liquid templates Question2: suggest a JAVASCRIPT BUNDLER.
Should have good integration with template engine and Bootstrap.
Probably not Webpack: I'm afraid of those huge config files.
Tried Parcel a bit: it is not bug-free, the experience was not smooth.
Don't know about Vite. Question3: what is known about usage of BOOTSTRAP (+TEMPLATE ENGINE) WITH AI CODE EDITORS ? (Cursor, Windsurf or something else)
I've heard stories of people generating big chunks of applications with these things.
I think it should work well with Bootstrap HTML, but I don't know how it would work with the template engine. |
