Rapido CSS/JS framework update ?

Hi,

I have a few questions about development with Rapido on front-end:

1. Is there a plan for updating the Reflex v1 CSS framework as the core layout grid system to a more modern one? Reflex v1 is not supported anymore by the creator who has also dropped the less implementation and moved to scss/sass one in Reflex v2 like most modern CSS frameworks.

2. Is there a plan to move to more advanced front-end framework like React(React Hooks & Babel 7) or Vue in the future rather than having a templating library like Handlebars for rendering the feeds?

3. Is there a plan to have a webpack build for developers working with Rapido for customizations and for code extension which would include terminal watch/build commands for less/sass/js files that would include the ignite layer automatically on build/watch rather than the current Visual Studio plugin solution?

Thanks

Hi Daniel

1. Regarding the Reflex grid css framework. Yes, we would really like to update/replace this. The current situation is that it would require quite a large update, as we would have to carefully go through all the templates.

Reflex v1 simply works as we are using it today. But I know the control of the grids could be improved. I am not sure the solution will be to switch to Reflex v2. But hopefully we will soon get it on the roadmap.

2. Regarding advanced Javascript frameworks. We are not planning to change the ajax framework, as the one we have chosen may very well be the simplest. If you feel like Vue, or another framework makes more value for your customers, feel free to make the implementations you need.

3. No we do not have any plans for using any web packs. But I will take it up with the team, and discuss the possibilities.

Best regards
