If you do not intend to work with the template source code (and that means you will not be compiling it or running the Webpack dev server), you do not need to install anything. You can simply navigate to the dist folder and start editing the files.
Most developers will be editing the source code and will also be running Webpack to recompile the template files. If that's the case, then ensure that you have Node.js installed. You can download it from here
- Download the latest release OR clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/PixelRocket-Shop/folio-html-bootstrap.git - Install Node.js if you don't already have it on your system.
- Open the project root in your command line.
- run
npm installin your command line. - run
npm startto start Webpack devserver. - if you want to recompile the template files (which output to the dist folder), run
npm run build
The template consists of a single page:
- Homepage
- About Me
- My Work (Listing Page)
- My Work (Single Page)
- Contact Me
To keep code repetition to a minimum, we've used Handlebars.js as the templating engine and partials to quickly add the same code to different pages. We also use a Handlebars plugin for JSON data - this allows us to use loops and output a single HTML code block instead of repeating the same HTML.
Please note that this is an HTML template only. It does not connect to a database, and will not automatically work in a content management system (Wordpress etc). You will need to incorporate our code into your application.

📁 dist - Generated version of the template. Go here if you do not want to work with the template source code. But be warned: if you customise anything in this folder directly, and then later recompile the template using webpack, unless you move the dist folder out of the template, your changes will be overridden.
📁 node_modules - Directory where NPM installs dependancies. You will not see this folder until you complete the template installation. You do not need to create this folder.
📁 src - Template source code. Go here to customise your template.
📁 src/assets - Template assets such as CSS, JS, Images etc.
📁 src/data - Template JSON Data files. We use these JSON files to make your job easier to insert content into the template.
📁 src/html - Template pages. Go here to edit existing pages or add new pages.
📁 src/partials - Handlebars partial templates.
Handlebars is a template engine that allows us to keep our template source code as organised and as clean as possible. It cuts down on code duplication and through the use of helper functions, allows template developers to very quickly output large amounts of data with minimal code. You can read more about it here.
The Webpack Handlebars plugin that we use comes with a very handy utility that allows us to pass in JSON files as template data.
Please navigate to: src/data. Here is where our template data JSON files reside. You can edit, remove or add your own to this folder.
All of the template's source CSS/SASS files are kept inside the template's assets folder. Navigate to src/assets/scss. Open up theme.scss with your editor.
This is the main entry point for all other SASS/CSS files.
To create a new page, navigate in your code editor to: src/html. To make it easier to get the correct HTML in place, clone an existing page. Rename the newly-created file to whatever URL you require. And that's it. You are now free to open the new page with your code editor, make your changes, and then save the file. Quit Webpack devserver and restart it for the page to show up.
Bootstrap already has a comprehensive documentation site that will guide you in setting up and using all default Bootstrap features. Bootstrap 5 is fully integrated to our template's source code. Please refer to Bootstrap's doc site first for any default Bootstrap features: Visit Bootstrap's Doc Site
