primeui to SVELTE
I have been very tempted to make a Prime Svelte 3rd party fork myself, but I lack the time it would take to maintain it afterwards.
I started a private repo and recreated several components, but it is very very tedious to do on your own.
I noticed that Prime's components really build on top of eachother.
In order to have badges on buttons and avatars you have to first create a badge. You have to have a dropdown component before you can have a SplitButton, AutoComplete, or Dropdown. You have to create a Paginator before the Table component. The list goes on.
Creating the elements is the easy part, that's just a matter of inspecting Prime's examples and using the same classes. If you use the same classes it is compatible with any of their CSS packs. The hard part is finding out and building the tree of base components that all other components need. Not only that, but each component is so flexible. If you add a badge to a button, the classes applied and layout change.
It is definitely possible, but even after reverse-engineering all of it, you'd still be looking at full-time maintenance without Prime's help.
I think we can all agree that there are plenty of UI component libraries out there for Svelte or even tailwind. What we are really needing are form libraries. Validation libraries exist, but none that include form UI components like Prime does.
