getting it

You can get djbs-theme by using pip:

$ pip install djbs-theme

Installing it

To enable djbs-theme in your project you need to add djbs and django.forms to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py file, just before the 'django.contrib.admin' entry:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'djbs',
        'django.forms',
        'django.contrib.admin',
        ...
    )

Set the form renderer to TemplatesSetting, adding the above code:

    FORM_RENDERER = 'django.forms.renderers.TemplatesSetting'

Add djbs.context_processors.sets to the context_processors list inside OPTIONS:

    TEMPLATES = [
        {
            "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
            "DIRS": [BASE_DIR / "templates"],
            "APP_DIRS": True,
            "OPTIONS": {
                "context_processors": [
                    "django.template.context_processors.debug",
                    "django.template.context_processors.request",
                    "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
                    "django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages",
                    "djbs.context_processors.sets",
                ],
            },
        },
    ]

Customizing

To customize the djbs-theme you need to add a DJBSTHEME dictionary into your projects settings.py file.

The default djbs-theme settings is:

    DJBSTHEME_DEFAULTS = {
        "SEARCH_URL": None,
        "SEARCH_PARAM": None,
        "MENU_FILE": BASE_DIR / "menu_conf.yaml",
        "CHECK_AS_SWITCH": True,
        "FILTER_STYLE": FILTER_STYLE_CLASSIC,
        "FIELDSET_STYLE": STYLE_CARD,
        "INLINESET_STYLE": STYLE_CARD,
        "BADGERIZE_FACETS": True,
        "ICON_SOURCE": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/font/bootstrap-icons.min.css",
        "ICON_TAG_PATTERN": '<i class="{icon} {classes}" {attrs}></i>',
        "ICONS": {
            "add": "bi bi-plus-square",
            "back": "bi bi-arrow-left-short",
            "check": "bi bi-check2",
            "check-all": "bi bi-check-all",

            "hide": "bi bi-eye-slash",
            "history": "bi bi-clock-history",
            "link": "bi bi-link-45deg",
            "list-view": "bi bi-card-list",
            "remove": "bi bi-eraser",
            "rewind": "bi bi-chevron-double-left",
            "save": "bi bi-save",
            "search": "bi bi-search",
            "show": "bi bi-eye",
            "theme-auto": "bi bi-circle-half",
            "theme-light": "bi bi-sun-fill",
            "theme-dark": "bi bi-moon-stars-fill",
            "user": "bi bi-person-fill",
            "viewsite": "bi bi-globe2",
        },
    }
