Usage

Bootstrap template

Prepare your page for Bootstrap and provide your content:

1. Extend bootstrap-skeleton.html in your base template:

   {% extends "bootstrap_ui/bootstrap-skeleton.html" %}

2. Fill predefined blocks with your content:

   {% block body-content %}
       <h1>Hello, I'm using django-bootstrap-ui!</h1>
   {% endblock %}

Bootstrap component templates

Render complete Bootstrap components by including our default implementations. Example:

1. Provide a list of strings ['alpha', 'beta', 'gamma'] as template variable items

2. Include listgroup.html parameterized with type='list' and items=items:

   {% include 'bootstrap_ui/listgroup.html' with type='list' items=items only %}

Template tag API

Generate your own, customized Bootstrap elements using our template tags. Example:

1. Load bootstrap_ui_tags in your template:

   {% load bootstrap_ui_tags %}

2. Use Bootstrap components through intuitive template tags:

   {% listgroup %}
       {% listgroupitem %}
           Your raw text.
       {% endlistgroupitem %}
       {% listgroupitem %}
           You may also use a {{ context_variable }}.
       {% endlistgroupitem %}
   {% endlistgroup %}

3. Some Bootstrap components support different html tags, to change the default add a parameter:

   {% listgroup use_tag="div" %}
       ...
       Your list group content goes here.
       ...
   {% endlistgroup %}
