alpinejs UI components vs bootstrap bulma etc

[laoshaw]

I wonder, what's the benefit to use alpinejs UI instead of using those commonly available UI libraries such as bootstrap and bulma?

[ekwoka]

Well, AlpineJS UI works with AlpineJS directly.

That's it.

They are headless.

[laoshaw]

what does headless mean? how is it different from using bootstrap for example, esp some of bootstrap components have their js included, will that cause issues with alpinejs?

[ekwoka]

Headless means it doesn't include the layout or styling.

Just functionality.

It's not likely that using others would directly cause issues, no.
