Add support for button groups about ember-bootstrap HOT 12 CLOSED

I don't think btn-group would be a good addition. It is only an html tag, which has no use for any binding attribute.
And adding all the buttons programmatically would make it harder to maintain the template.
Just add a div btn-group with all your buttons around it.

@dmathieu But it does have a useful binding: selected button! I would rather use one control with a single-variable binding than do jquery magic to figure out which of the buttons from the group is selected. It's actually quite similar to the dropdown list with options in this sense.

I don't see any change, visible nor in the dom in the bootstrap documentation for the selected button in btn-group.

Anyway, selected button or not, the problem remains the same. This would be one very big handlebars helper with a lot of parameters in it, which would be very hardly usable.

Selected button has 'active' class added to it. Why should the helper be big? How is list of buttons in div tag different from list of options in select tag?

from ember-bootstrap.

Buttons are components by themselves.
They need to have bindable attributes, and possibly change the current route when clicking on them.

An option in a select tag is only an array entry, which doesn't behaves as a component by itself. It exists only because it is wrapped around a select tag, which controls it.

from ember-bootstrap.

Yes, that's true, but I think it's ok to not support the full button's functionality for each individual button in a group. Some helper is better than no helper and the ability to bind to the currently selected button(s) is very useful in itself.

@dmathieu : Hi, navigation bars are in this category too? I mean: are too complex of implement or otherwise they can be implemented in another way?

Can be used a mix of ember-bootstrap and twitter-bootstrap.js itself in the same project?

from ember-bootstrap.

@diosney: I think navigation bars could be implemented. And yes ember bootstrap and the native twitter bootstrap libraries can be used together.
Note : for the purpose of readability, it would be better to open a new ticket for new requests/issues.

from ember-bootstrap.

Sure, I will file a new issue with the navigation request.

Thanks.

Hmm, I read progress bar, foolish me.
In fact, navbars have somewhat the same problem as button groups.

Look at modalPane for example.
It exists, but the buttons are currently having only the default bootstrap behavior. We can't use the router on them.
The problem with those groups is the same.

from ember-bootstrap.

Oh! I see. Thanks anyway, I will close the issue then referencing this one.

from ember-bootstrap.

Closing this one too. If you have an implementation to propose, please open a pull request.
