accounts-ui-bootstrap and acccounts-ui-bs3-and-blaze dropdown stops working when x-editable added

[jaumeMR]

Hello!

this is the only problem I found using this great package.

Accounts ui dropdown stopped working suddenly and after some testing removing packages one by one I found it was x-editable who was causing the problem.
I'm trying to find why but I'm pretty new to meteor and I can't find the reason by now.

Hello again!

I found something: I'm using less-bootstrap-3, not bootstrap-3. When I comment out the api.use('bootstrap-3') line in package.js it works ok.

I tried adding bootstrap-3 package to my project but it doesn't worked. To replace the content by api.use('less-bootstrap-3') doesn't work, so I leave the line commented out by now...

well, this package does depend on bootstrap-3 - i suggest you fork the repo with that dependency commented out (like you mentioned)

i dont think there is really a problem to be addressed here

[ernestorocha]

Yeah, the problem is, when bootstrap is added more than once, it starts to misbehave.

I also would like to see this dependency removed, so I can use another bootstrap package.

Isn't possible to check if bootstrap is already added before requiring it ?

Hi,

Perhaps you could change the package.js file to make the bootstrap package a weak dependency? That way, your project already has the mizzao:bootstrap-3 package, it will use that. If not (e..g if user is using the nemo64:bootstrap package), it will hopefully still work fine ?

[nate-strauser]

well, as i understand the weak dependency, that would mean that you have to manually include a bootstrap package. would that be troublesome for novice users? i'm just a little concerned about making assumptions that developers will always manually include their own flavor of bootstrap

It looks like the bootstrap dependency was changed to a weak dependency a few weeks ago. Is this still an issue with that modification?
