More and more Django projects are taking advantage of the excellent Bootstrap 3 framework. This app provides a set of reusable templates that can be used to create a Bootstrap-based website using Django.
Here is a brief list of features included in the app:
- Django contrib apps are displayed with their Bootstrap equivalent
- Carefully organized templates that are easy to extend
- Bootstrap theme for the Django admin interface
- Support for any Bootstrap theme
To use this app in your Django project, begin by adding the app to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'bootstrap3'
)
Each view in your project should include "title" in the template context dictionary. For example, the view for your home page might look something like this:
from django.shortcuts import render
def home(request):
"""Render the project home page."""
return render(request, 'home.html', {
'title': "Home Page",
})
Each template in your project must then extend "base.html":
{% extends "base.html" %}
Page content should be placed in the "content" block:
{% block content %}
<h2>Home Page</h2>
...
{% endblock %}
