django-bootstrap-colors 5.3.0

No project description provided

This django app allows to override the primary color and its variants in bootstrap.

Usage

• Add bootstrap_colors to INSTALLED_APPS
• Add path('colors.css', BootstrapColorsView.as_view(), name='colors') to urls.py
• Add <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% url 'colors' %}"> to your template
• Set BOOTSTRAP_THEME_COLORS (Default: ['#0d6efd', '#0b5ed7', '#0a58ca'])
• Optional: Configure caching, e.g. by using django.views.decorators.cache.cache_control

Alternatives

Bootstrap provides several ways to achieve this:

• CSS custom properities: It would be great if we could just change a few custom properties. Unfortunately they are not used in a way that would allow that.
• Scss variables: This requires a Scss compiler somewhere in the build process which I would like to avoid.
• Override CSS: This is the approach that is used in this package. However, it is brittle because the underlying bootstrap code might change.
