django-bootstrap-navbar 0.0.7

Django navbar package

django-bootstrap-navbar

A code based navbar with great ambitions.

Usage

django-bootstrap-navbar lets you create a bootstrap 4 navbar with a Python class. It then takes care of setting the active class on the appropriate link based on the current path.

Install

The library is available on PyPi.

pip install django-bootstrap-navbar

Once you have created a navbar class there are two ways of making it available in your template context:

1. Using the provided context processor

BOOTSTRAP_NAVBAR = "showcase.navbar:ExampleNavBar"

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
        ...
            "context_processors": [
                "django.template.context_processors.debug",
                ...
                "bootstrap_navbar.navbars.context_processors.navbar",
            ]
        },
    }
]

2. Using the provided mixin

class ContextProcessorView(DjangoNavBarViewMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = "index.html"
    navbar_class = AppNavBar

Finally the navbar can be rendered within your templates by calling the navbar.render method.

{{ navbar.render }}
