The Github readme is not entirely clear on this point... Are they alternatives, or, meant to work together?

Actually the home page says: Dependencies This repository contains a set of native AngularJS directives based on Twitter Bootstrap's markup and CSS. As a result no dependency on jQuery or Bootstrap's JavaScript is required. The only required dependencies are: AngularJS (minimal version 1.0.4 or 1.1.2) Bootstrap CSS @bjorke - do you see how we could clarify further?pkozlowski.opensource– pkozlowski.opensource2013-09-05 11:23:58 +00:00Commented Sep 5, 2013 at 11:23

Thanks Pawel for making this tool! As you can see in my comments below, I was unclear on the recommendation to remove the standard bootstrap js -- that it interferes(?). I think the word "replacement" is key. I was also a bit confused, I think, because the demo page doesn't include all the available directives (so my existing page, which had used bootstrap tabs, now failed, until I updated it). Thanks again!'bjorke– bjorke2013-09-06 05:13:28 +00:00Commented Sep 6, 2013 at 5:13

UI Bootstrap is a replacement for the bootstrap JS portion it is clearly stated but not on the main page.
Native AngularJS (Angular) directives for Twitter's Bootstrap. Small footprint (5kB gzipped!), no 3rd party JS dependencies (jQuery, bootstrap JS) required! http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/

Thanks Shaun... I read that too, what was unclear IMO is that the directives replace the std bootstrap functions, since the sample page only shows new extra directives like the calendar - not Angular revisions of std ones. The startup steps describe downloading the js & adding ui.bootstrap to my module, but not "remove old bootstrap js" - which I shall do!

Yup think you got it right now, Jens answer below gives a bit more detail too.
Dean Sofer on the subject: http://deansofer.com/posts/view/20/AngularJS-and-Bootstrap
Think that explains it rather well... And give you insight into "Why" as well...
We have 2 projects: the AngularUI Bootstrap project which is recreating everything in pure AngularJS code, and removes the Bootstrap.js dependency. Then we have the new Angular-Strap which simply wraps the existing Bootstrap.js creating additional dependencies and imposing a fairly opinionated templating scheme.
And some links to the to mentioned projects for completeness:
- Angular UI Bootstrap: http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/
- Angular Strap: http://mgcrea.github.io/angular-strap/
What side to agree with is up to you.

I think the new version of angular strap doesnt need jquery and bootstrap js anymore. So the differences between those 2 options become....less clear?
