The sidebar menu is generated in /utils/context_processors.py and
rendered globally through /templates/partial/sidebar.html.
Below is an example of the sidebar menu array that can be defined in context_processors.py.
The sidebar menu will automatically be set to active based on the URL name specified in urls.py.
sidebar_menu = [{
'text': 'Navigation',
'is_header': 1
},{
'url': '/',
'icon': 'bi bi-cpu',
'text': 'Dashboard',
'name': 'index'
}, {
'icon': 'bi bi-envelope',
'text': 'Email',
'children': [{
'url': '/email/inbox',
'action': 'Inbox',
'text': 'Inbox',
'name': 'emailInbox'
}]
}]
All the css files used in Studio Larvel has been compiled into two files app.min.css and vendor.min.css by gulp command. You may change the color scheme from /gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss.
vendor.min.cssapp.min.cssThis theme compiles 6 javascript library into two files app.min.js and vendor.min.js by gulp command.

Add the theme class to the <body> tag in order to change the theme color.
<body class="theme-red">...</body> <body class="theme-pink">...</body> <body class="theme-orange">...</body> <body class="theme-yellow">...</body> <body class="theme-lime">...</body> <body class="theme-green">...</body> <body class="theme-teal">...</body> <body class="theme-cyan">...</body> <body class="theme-blue">...</body> <body class="theme-purple">...</body> <body class="theme-indigo">...</body> <body class="theme-black">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-100">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-200">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-300">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-400">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-500">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-600">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-700">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-800">...</body> <body class="theme-gray-900">...</body>
Add the 'cover' class to the <html> tag to change the page cover. You can modify the cover image from either /gulp/src/scss/images/ or /static/css/images. Note that both light and dark mode have separate background cover images.
<html class="bg-cover-2"> <html class="bg-cover-3"> <html class="bg-cover-4"> <html class="bg-cover-5"> <html class="bg-cover-6"> <html class="bg-cover-7"> <html class="bg-cover-8"> <html class="bg-cover-9">
We have implemented a default dark mode theme that is applied to the HTML page.
This is achieved through the use of the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute in the <html> tag.
If you wish to enable the light mode instead, you can easily do so by removing the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute from the HTML tag.
This will disable the default dark mode and enable the light mode theme.
Please note that once you remove the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute,
the light mode theme will persist even if the user refreshes the page or navigates to a different page within the application.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" data-bs-theme="dark"> </html>to
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> </html>
With this example, the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute has been removed from html tag. This will enable the light mode to the entire page.
OR
If you want to apply light / dark mode to a single component only, you can add the data-bs-theme="light|dark" attribute to that component.
<div class="card" data-bs-theme="light">
<div class="card-body">
<!-- your component content here -->
</div>
</div>
To enable RTL mode, follow these steps:
/DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file in your code editor.$enable-rtl variable and change its value to true:
$enable-rtl: true;This will enable RTL mode for your application.
app.min.css file:
npm run devThis will regenerate the app.min.css file with the changes you made to the
$enable-rtl variable.
Global Variables
The /DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file contains the variables that control the styles of your application.
To edit these variables, navigate to the /DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file in your code editor and modify the values of the variables to suit your needs.
<!-- global variable --> /DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss
Dark Mode Variables
The /DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables-dark.scss file contains the variables that control the styles for dark mode.
These variables are used in conjunction with the variables in the /DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file to provide different values for light and dark modes.
<!-- dark mode variable --> /DjangoHUDApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables-dark.scss
