Well, if you need all this cool functionality, converting to TailwindCSS is the only option.
If you only need Authentication scaffolding with Bootstrap, you can still use "laravel/ui" package.
With Jetstream being open source, I think it's only matter of time before someone makes a package for Jetstream and Bootstrap too.
Personally I feel it should have been a built in option. Like many Laravel dev's I'm already productive with bootstrap, and looking forward to V5. My frustration is partly due as I'm about to starts a new project which was going to be in Laravel 8, and now I'm not sure. Don't really want to use a deprecated UI package and I'm not going to switch to Tailwind, Might just go with Vue and Adonis ?
Livewire looks good though, I could see me using that ;)
My issue with it is that it’s tied to Tailwind, What if I don’t want to use tailwind css. What if I prefer bootstrap or .....
With Tailwind UI being released primarily as a subscription service I won’t be using it.
So what’s the alternative, convert to Tailwind css or go without the functionality?
