We split the header, sidebar, footer and etc into few other part and include it in the base file. Base file has been located in /resources/views/layouts/default.blade.php.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html data-bs-theme="dark" lang="{{ app()->getLocale() }}"{{ (!empty($htmlAttribute)) ? $htmlAttribute : '' }}>
<head>
  @include('partial.head')
</head>
<body class="{{ (!empty($bodyClass)) ? $bodyClass : '' }}">
  <!-- BEGIN #app -->
  <div id="app" class="app {{ (!empty($appClass)) ? $appClass : '' }}">
    @includeWhen(empty($appHeaderHide), 'partial.header')
    @includeWhen(empty($appSidebarHide), 'partial.sidebar')
    @includeWhen(empty($appTopNav), 'partial.top-nav')

    @if (empty($appContentHide))
      <!-- BEGIN #content -->
      <div id="content" class="app-content  {{ (!empty($appContentClass)) ? $appContentClass : '' }}">
        @yield('content')
      </div>
      <!-- END #content -->
    @else
      @yield('content')
    @endif

    @includeWhen(!empty($appFooter), 'partial.footer')
  </div>
  <!-- END #app -->

  @include('partial.scroll-top-btn')
  @include('partial.theme-panel')
  @include('partial.scripts')
</body>
</html>

Using laravel stacks to add css / js by page level.

// example for how to add page level css
@push('css')
  <link href="/assets/plugins/photoswipe/dist/photoswipe.css" rel="stylesheet">
  ...
@endpush

// example for how to add page level js
@push('js')
  <script src="/assets/plugins/photoswipe/dist/photoswipe-ui-default.min.js"></script>
  ...
@endpush

The default sidebar menu generator will set the .menu-item as active stat if the current url match with the pre-defined url for sidebar menu. Below is an example for custom active stat for those dynamic url like /product/edit/124.

// set the menu as active stat from .blade file without matching the url
@php
  config(['sidebar.activeUrl' => '/pos/kitchen-order']);
@endphp

<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 /scss/images/ or /dist/assets/css/images. Note that both light and dark mode have separate background cover images.

Available Cover Options

<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">

Starting from version 2.0, 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.

Here's an example:

change from
<!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:

  1. Navigate to the /src/_variables.scss file in your code editor.
  2. Find the $enable-rtl variable and change its value to true:
    $enable-rtl: true;
    
    This will enable RTL mode for your application.
  3. Save the changes to the file.
  4. Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the root directory of your project.
  5. Run the following command to regenerate the app.min.css file:
    npm run dev
    
    This will regenerate the app.min.css file with the changes you made to the $enable-rtl variable.

Global Variables

The /resources/scss/_variables.scss file contains the variables that control the styles of your application.

To edit these variables, navigate to the /resources/scss/_variables.scss file in your code editor and modify the values of the variables to suit your needs.

<!-- global variable -->
/resources/scss/_variables.scss

Dark Mode Variables

The /resources/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 /resources/scss/_variables.scss file to provide different values for light and dark modes.

<!-- dark mode variable -->
/resources/scss/_variables-dark.scss
