Django Layout

Main Layout

Info: There is a function called set_layout in template_helpers/theme.py which decides the layout (vertical/horizontal). This option can be updated from config/template.py file. Find customization-options here

Below is the template Master file located at templates/layouts/master.html. It includes styles and scripts files in Master Layout. You can find these files at the same path inside templates/layout/ folder.

Scripts

This file includes main js along with template related vendor scripts :

You can find this file at templates/layout/partials/scripts.html

{% load static %}

<script src="{% static 'vendor/libs/jquery/jquery.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/libs/popper/popper.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/js/bootstrap.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/libs/perfect-scrollbar/perfect-scrollbar.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/libs/hammer/hammer.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/libs/typeahead-js/typeahead.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/js/menu.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'js/main.js' %}"></script>

Dark Layout

To set default layout to dark layout, just need to update config/template.py file's style option :


'TEMPLATE_CONFIG' => [
...
'style' => 'dark',
...
],

You can also add page level configuration to set page to dark layout as described here

RTL

Sneat provides built in support for RTL.

To use template with RTL support, you need to update config/template.py file's rtl_support option.

If you want to use LTR & RTL options both, you must set rtl_support to true else RTL Layout won't work.

If you want to use only LTR not RTL, you can set it to False

'TEMPLATE_CONFIG' => [
...
'rtl_support' => True,
...
],

To use template default in RTL Layout, you need to update config/template.py file's rtl_mode option.

If you want to set default layout to RTL, you can set this option to True


'TEMPLATE_CONFIG' => [
...
'rtl_mode' => True,
...
],

Layout Usage

You can set the layout in two ways:

Layout for the entire app - set Layout property in the config/template.py file.
Layout for the specific page - set Layout property in the page view.py file. Refer Page Level Configurations

Tip: Refer to the Django Configurations for more details on layout usage and customization.

Below are the examples for different layouts which we have showcased in our template demo, Refer apps/layouts/views.py file for more details on page level customizations.
