bootstrap_italia
is a low-code base theme for Drupal that implements
the Italian guidelines for designing public digital services.
This theme uses webpack
as a module bundler and includes the
bootstrap-italia
library as a dependency. View a bootstrap italia Demo site
Install drupal
and drush
with composer
(https://getcomposer.org/)
$ composer create drupal/recommended-project my_site_name_dir --no-install
$ cd my_site_name_dir
$ composer require drush/drush --no-install
$ composer install
Install drupal, you can use drush or your browser
$ drush site:install
$ cd <drupal-root>
# 1. Install end enable dependencies
$ composer require drupal/components:^3.0@beta
$ drush pm:enable components
$ composer require drupal/bootstrap_italia
# 2. Copy sub-theme to destination folder
$ cd web/themes/
$ mkdir custom
$ cp -r contrib/bootstrap_italia/var/starter_kits/italiagov custom/
# 3. Enable themes
$ drush -y theme:enable bootstrap_italia
$ drush -y theme:enable italiagov
# 4. Set default theme
$ drush config-set system.theme default italiagov
Edit custom/italiagov/italiagov.info.yml
and change hidden
variable to false
$ sed -i 's/hidden: true/hidden: false/g' custom/italiagov/italiagov.info.yml
You can install the bootstrap-italia library in several ways.
Download https://github.com/italia/bootstrap-italia/releases/download/v2.11.0/bootstrap-italia.zip
and unzip in <your-subtheme>/dist
.
npm
is required: https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm
Install assets
$ cd custom/italiagov
$ npm install
Run watcher:
$ npm run watch:dev
Build assets:
$ npm run build:dev
$ drush cr
Run watcher:
$ npm run watch:prod
Build assets:
$ npm run build:prod
$ drush cr
To properly activate hot mode, do this:
- Make sure your host port 8080 is not filtered, or exposed if you are using a container.
- In the
<sub-theme>/<sub-theme>.info.yml
file edit thelibraries
array to load onlyitaliagov/hot
andbootstrap_italia/base
$ drush cr && npm run build:dev && npm run hot
Note that you need to run drush cr
then build:dev
and finally hot
, otherwise it won't work.
If you need customize host
and port
,
copy <sub-theme>/webpack.settings.dist.js
in <sub-theme>/webpack.settings.js
and edit
devServer.allowedHosts
and devServer.port
.
If you use ddev use this tip to expose 8080 port and view the site with
the URL http://127.0.0.1:<ddev-port>
# <project-name>/.ddev/docker-compose.ports.yaml
version: '3.6'
services:
web:
expose:
- 8080
ports:
- 8080:8080
By appropriately modifying *.info.yml
and *.libraries.yml
you can adapt
the loading of libraries according to your infrastructure.
Replace in <sub-theme>/package.json
"bootstrap-italia": "<version>"
with
"bootstrap-italia": "github:italia/bootstrap-italia#<branch>"
example
"bootstrap-italia": "github:italia/bootstrap-italia#main"
To load fonts via CSS, you need to disable the JavaScript font loading
by commenting out the line - bootstrap_italia/load-fonts
in the
libraries array. Please note that you can continue to choose
your preferred method for loading CSS and JS libraries
(via UI, custom, hot, etc.).
The following example demonstrates using the UI loading method:
# Choose libraries to use. Global is managed with theme settings UI.
libraries:
- italiagov/libraries-ui
# - italiagov/vanilla
# - italiagov/custom
# - italiagov/cdn
# - italiagov/hot
# - italiagov/ddev
- bootstrap_italia/base
- bootstrap_italia/enable-all-tooltips
# - bootstrap_italia/load-fonts
To avoid duplicating fonts in the dist
folder, you need to comment out
or remove the following code from the CopyWebpackPlugin
configuration
in the webpack.common.js
file:
{
from: paths.modules + '/bootstrap-italia/src/fonts/',
to: paths.build + '/fonts/'
},
After making the necessary changes, your configuration should look similar to:
new CopyWebpackPlugin({
patterns: [
{
from: paths.modules + '/bootstrap-italia/src/assets/',
to: paths.build + '/assets/'
},
// {
// from: paths.modules + '/bootstrap-italia/src/fonts/',
// to: paths.build + '/fonts/'
// },
{
from: './src/images/',
to: paths.build + '/images/'
}
]
}),
Once you have made this change, you need to modify your sub-theme's
src/scss/custom/custom.scss
file and add @import "../fonts";
as the first rule. After that, run the following commands:
$ npm run build:prod
$ drush cr
At this point, the fonts will be loaded via CSS from the dist
folder.
Finally, it is recommended to activate the option: "Appearance -> Settings -> your sub-theme -> Libraries -> My library loads fonts via css".
To compile CSS for CKEditor5, you need to uncomment the relevant line in the
webpack.common.js
file. Update the file from:
entry: {
"bootstrap-italia": [paths.src + '/js/index.js', paths.src + '/scss/theme.scss'],
//"ckeditor5": paths.src + '/scss/ckeditor5.scss',
}
to:
entry: {
"bootstrap-italia": [paths.src + '/js/index.js', paths.src + '/scss/theme.scss'],
"ckeditor5": paths.src + '/scss/ckeditor5.scss',
}
After making this change, proceed with the regular build process. If you're
using this feature, it is recommended to load fonts via CSS (as described
in the previous section) to avoid duplicating the fonts in the dist
folder.
To add custom SVG icons, follow these steps:
- Add your SVG icons to the
src/svg
folder. Use the existing iconit-drupal.svg
as a reference. Keep in mind the following:- The file name is important as it will be used as the icon's ID.
- Do not use the fill attribute as it will prevent the icon from being styled using CSS.
- Examples: Bootstrap Italia SVG Icons.
- Load your icons using
src/js/custom/icons.js
. - Make sure you import the icons JavaScript in your
src/js/custom/custom.js
file with:import './icons'
.
Perform the build process as usual. Your custom icons will be available
in dist/svg/sprites.svg
and can be used just like any other icon from
the Bootstrap Italia library.
This theme provides several modules that allow you to manage the components with the Drupal administration panel. Below is a list

By default, Drupal fills the front page with the latest content from your site. This module modifies the front page to have an empty page. This way, only the blocks will be displayed. Useful as in the case of Municipalities whose home page is built only with blocks in custom zones, thus avoiding recalling the frontpage view which isn't used. The same view is also disabled.
$ composer require drupal/empty_front_page
$ drush -y pm:enable empty_front_page bootstrap_italia_empty_front_page
The components of the theme are mapped with the drupal graphical interface,
so you can manage cards, lists, etc., without writing code or templates.
First install and enable ui_patterns

and ui_patterns_settings
.
$ composer require 'drupal/ui_patterns:^1.5' drupal/ui_patterns_settings
$ drush en ui_patterns ui_patterns_library ui_patterns_settings
To the https://domain.example/patterns
page you will see
the list of components/patterns that you can manage from the UI.
Enable ui_patterns_ds
to use components as layouts
via Display suite.
$ composer require drupal/ds
$ drush en ds ds_extras ds_switch_view_mode ui_patterns_ds
Enable ui_patterns_layouts
to use components as layouts
via the Layout Discovery module.
$ drush en ui_patterns_layouts
Enable ui_patterns_views
to use components with views.
$ drush en ui_patterns_views
