In this chapter, we greatly finished our dashboard example. We had to create some cards from the last chapter and adjust the visualization for any viewport. The result is a great dashboard that can be used in multiple contexts and web applications.
The user experience and the visuals of the dashboard were impressive in the end, creating a desirable page for this kind of application that works on any device.
Then we moved forward to explain some more Bootstrap plugins. We analyzed Bootstrap Scrollspy, which is a great plugin for you when you are creating pages with large content and need to summarize the sections while the user is scrolling. We used this plugin just with sample content, but remember to use it whenever needed.
We analyzed the Bootstrap carousel as well. The carousel is a great plugin for making slides of images with caption text. In my opinion, the only downside to this plugin is that it is too much typed. Imagine if we could create the same carousel using lines of code. I think we can fix that in the last chapter!
In the next chapter, we will start a plugin customization and use the carousel as an example. We can create a kind of wrapper to reduce typing of the carousel and automate plugin creation. Also, we will go deep into some Bootstrap plugin customizations.
For sure, it will be another challenge to create a plugin for Bootstrap, but I am confident that we can nail that as well.
