starter-gatsby-blog VS react-bootstrap

So, my first port of call was the official GitHub repository where Contentful maintains a starter blog template built using Gatsby, which has push button deployment for Gatsby Cloud. This template is basic but properly formatted with all the necessary features of a functional blog. Things like an index page, formatting for individual posts and key visuals, plus timestamps, authors, and tagging.

Now to be fair to both, if you use the starter-gatsby-blog from Contentful themselves, the new gatsby-starter-contentful-homepage from Gatsby, or the Next.js Contentful example, these do use environment variables. It's just these basic starters that do not.

Ultimately, I think there is too much content being created at the start here. There is, I think, a pretty decent chance you will end scrapping a decent portion of these models and content. Or, you will have to spend a lot of time restructuring/renaming it to meet your project's needs, which is not ideal. On the other hand, the existing contentful/starter-gatsby-blog I think has too little content. Therefore, I think there needs to be a nice middle ground with the quantity of content being generated out of the box.

As of August 2023, React Bootstrap has got more than 21K stars on GitHub and is getting more than 2 million weekly downloads on NPM.

Beginning with react-bootstrap 2.7.4 https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-bootstrap Builders build.

I used react-bootstrap at first, recently discovered mantine and will likely use that in the future.

Next, we create a new component called CarsTable, responsible for rendering the table. We will use @tanstack/react-table for the table behavior and react-bootstrap for UI elements.

5. React Bootstrap

These UI components and elements usually include Button, Navbar, Tooltip, Tab components, and more. Many UI libraries exist, including React Bootstrap, built on the popular Bootstrap CSS library, and Material-UI, one of the most popular UI component libraries for React.

For me personally one of the dealbrakers was bootstrap-vue still being stuck with Vue v2 / Bootsrap v4 to this day. react-bootstrap supports Bootstrap v5 since 2021 october.
