Migration to v2

ReactStrap vs React-Bootstrap

For version 2 of the Sell React theme, we've decided to switch to the React-Bootstrap plugin, instead of the ReactStrap. All components are rewritten accordingly.

Main reasons are faster development, broader community, and most importantly, faster Bootstrap 5 implementation. Also, in some cases, simplicity compared ReactStrap.

A lot of components have the same or similar syntax. Please follow React-Bootstrap documentation for more information.

Migration

If you would like to migrate from v1 to v2, please follow the documentations for React-Bootstrap migration and Bootstrap 5 migration.
