Frameworks

Previous Next

It is possible to use different HTML, CSS and JavaScript frameworks within your web application. The framework applied depends on the Framework property:

Framework

Explanation

none

No framework is applied.

auto

A framework is selected based on resources. If you have an Alternative Template Folder with contents, a clue as to which framework must be selected may be taken from the "application.html" file, eg., for Bootstrap framework:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.js"></script>

 

The framework thus detected could be jQuery, Bootstrap or Bootstrap 4.

If you don't have an Alternative Template Folder with contents, the framework applied will be jQuery-UI.

jquery-ui

The jQuery UI framework is applied if available.

bootstrap

The Bootstrap framework is applied if available.

bootstrap4

The Bootstrap 4 framework is applied if available.

usoft

A USoft-proprietary look-and-feel is applied. This is appropriate if you require a more user-friendly interface than offered by "none" but you do not want to do any work.

It is possible to use multiple frameworks at the same time. If the Bootstrap and jQuery UI frameworks are both present, the Bootstrap framework will have preference.

The HTML that is required for a control can differ per framework. The differences are implemented in the file "usoft.ui.frameworks.js".

If you set the Framework property to a value not listed in this help topic, it will default to 'none'.
