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': 'fa fa-laptop',
'text': 'Dashboard',
'name': 'index'
}, {
'icon': 'fa fa-envelope',
'text': 'Email',
'children': [{
'url': '/email/inbox',
'action': 'Inbox',
'text': 'Inbox',
'name': 'emailInbox'
}]
}]

Add the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute to <html> in template_django/StudioApp/templates/base.html order to enable the dark mode.
<html lang="en" data-bs-theme="dark">
To enable RTL mode, follow these steps:
template_django/StudioApp/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:
gulpThis will regenerate the app.min.css file with the changes you made to the
$enable-rtl variable.
Global Variables
The template_django/StudioApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file contains the variables that control the styles of your application.
To edit these variables, navigate to the template_django/StudioApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file in your code editor and modify the values of the variables to suit your needs.
<!-- global variable --> template_django/StudioApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss
Dark Mode Variables
The template_django/StudioApp/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 template_django/StudioApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables.scss file to provide different values for light and dark modes.
<!-- dark mode variable --> template_django/StudioApp/gulp/src/scss/_variables-dark.scss
