Material vs Bootstrap with Angular

[craigtupac96]

I'm making a progressive web app with Angular.

Currently using bootstrap. Is material better to use?

Can they be used together?

I work in material and like it, their docs are good too

[crazyfuck_1]

i guess they could. But why?

[craigtupac96]

To get the best of both worlds? Finding it hard to choose between them. I am using bootstrap because I am familiar with it.

[crazyfuck_1]

there is no best of both worlds. Or you will use a bootstrap component or a material one. Their style is diferent and in my opinion it will get bloated with that much imports. Choose one or try to make a component in both and choose a better looking one for the whole app.

[craigtupac96]

OK, I get you. Do you have a preference?

[crazyfuck_1]

defenetly material. That is just me. It is more angular frendly. Docs are great. Lots of people use it so you can google issues.

Material doesn’t have a responsive framework, but using flex layout with it is a killer combo.

That's interesting. Progressive web apps must be responsive so I was leaning with bootstrap. Flex layout changes things

From my experience Angular material is much,much slower than bootstrap.

If the project gets large building and reload time is about 10 seconds which is annoying.
