Thank you for purchasing my theme. I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist.

When you only need to include Studio compiled CSS or JS, below is the required core css and javascript.

<!-- Core CSS -->
<link href="assets/css/vendor.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="assets/css/app.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Core JS -->
<script src="assets/js/vendor.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/app.min.js"></script>
OR

If you wish to configure the scss files settings, follow the following step to install gulp in your operating system.
You may refer to their official documentation for how to setup the development environment.
Setup Guide

cd /your-path-url/template_html/
npm install 
gulp

// generate plugins command
gulp plugins

Make sure that you are running at least node 20.x and npm 10.x.x by running node -v and npm -v in a terminal/console window. Older versions produce errors, but newer versions are fine.

Below is the general page structure and the required core css / js files for Studio Admin Template. The css / js files can be found via /dist/assets/ folder.

All the css files used in Studio has been compiled into two files app.min.css and vendor.min.css by using gulp. If you are not using gulp, copy over the folder /dist/assets/css and /dist/assets/webfonts into your application assets folder.

<body class="theme-gray-900">...</body>

If you wish to enable the dark mode instead, you can easily do so by adding 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 add the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute, the dark 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">
</html>
to
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" data-bs-theme="dark">
</html>

With this example, the data-bs-theme="dark" attribute has been added to html tag. This will enable the dark mode to the entire page.

OR

If you want to apply dark / light mode to a single component only, you can add the data-bs-theme="dark|light" attribute to that component.

<div class="card" data-bs-theme="dark">
  <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:
    gulp css
    
    This will regenerate the app.min.css file with the changes you made to the $enable-rtl variable.

Global Variables

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

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

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

Dark Mode Variables

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

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