B4J Question ABMaterial or Banano + BananoServer

[westereng]

Hello!

I have a client that needs an medium sized Invoice/Inventory application. Implementation details is
still on the drawing board...

At first eyesight Banano + Bananoserver seems to fit the bill for this.

But when I think more about it, ABMaterial has a lot of built in functionality that I need out of the box, which would shorten the development
time greatly. But it is not SPA though.
Although I dont think I really ned it to be a SPA.

Which of theese frameworks would you guys/girls choose for an application like this?

Personally for such a app I would do it with ABM (starting from this template) as indeed it has a lot more out of the box that such an app would require (inputs/tables/etc) and even some basic printing possibilities e.g. for an invoice. You can start building the app immidiately, while with BANano you may require to do some work first on components. ABM's primary goal is such apps. And because you can now make BANanoLibraries that you can use in ABM for some functionality that you would miss, you get the best of both worlds.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I have a large project that will use Banano, but that one has no real time limit as it is a self initiated project, so I have time to
implement whats needed. But with this inventory system, time is more of an factor.

And because you can now make BANanoLibraries that you can use in ABM for some functionality that you would miss, you get the best of both worlds.

That is a really good point

Default in abmaterial is this:

Another style for material is this:

I really would like to use the latter

No, ABM is based on Materialize CSS, which has another design. https://materializecss.com/
