Changing theme for your ABP app. Part 10

Table of contents

Intro

In this post we will explore how to change the theme for your ABP application..

Create an abp App and Run Migrations

Create the App

Run the following command to create the abp app.

abp new ThemeChange

Run Migrations

change directory to src/ThemeChange.DbMigrator and run the migration project

dotnet run

This will create the migrations and seed the data for your project.

Add the basic theme module to app

Run the following command in your solution folder.

abp add-module Volo.BasicTheme --with-source-code --add-to-solution-file

This will add the basic theme to your solution and download the source for that theme.

Now remove the nuget package reference from the ThemeChange.Web project for Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.Basic.

Add project reference from to the Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.Basic to the ThemeChange.Web.

Change the bootstrap theme

We are going to use the Material kit. It is a free and Open Source UI Kit for Bootstrap 4. Download the minified css from the assets/css/material-kit.min.css and place it in the wwwroot/styles/material-kit.min.css in the ThemeChange.Web

Remove the default bootstrap theme

Update the ConfigureBundle method in the BasicThemeGlobalStyleContributor in the Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.Basic project

public override void ConfigureBundle(BundleConfigurationContext context)
{
    context.Files.Add("/themes/basic/layout.css");
    context.Files.Remove("/libs/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css");
}

Update the ConfigureBundles method in the ThemeChangeWebModule in the ThemeChange.Web project.

Configure<AbpBundlingOptions>(options =>
{
    options.StyleBundles.Configure(
        BasicThemeBundles.Styles.Global,
        bundle =>
        {
            bundle.AddFiles("/global-styles.css");
            bundle.AddFiles("/styles/material-kit.min.css");
        }
    );
});

Changing the layout

Layouts are available in the Themes\basic\Layouts folder in the Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.Basic project

We are going to change the Account.cshtml layout. Take a backup of that file.

Here is the updated cshtml. Based on the sample from this Signin Page
