LeptonX MVC UI

LeptonX theme is implemented and ready to use with ABP Commercial. No custom implementation is needed for Razor Pages.

Installation

• Install the package to your Web project with the CLI.

abp add-package Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.LeptonX

• Remove the Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.Lepton and the Volo.Abp.LeptonTheme.Management.Web references from the project since it's not necessary after switching to LeptonX.

• Make sure the old theme is removed and LeptonX is added in your Module class.

[DependsOn(
        // ...
        // remove the following lines
-       typeof(LeptonThemeManagementWebModule),
-       typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiLeptonThemeModule),

        // add the line below
+       typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiLeptonXThemeModule),
)]

• Replace LeptonThemeBundles with LeptonXThemeBundles in AbpBundlingOptions.

    options.StyleBundles.Configure(
            LeptonXThemeBundles.Styles.Global, // 👈 Here
            bundle =>
            {
                bundle.AddFiles("/global-styles.css");
            }
        );

Source-Code

You can download the source-code of the LeptonX Theme according you your ABP Commercial License.

Customization

Before starting to customize the theme, you can consider downloading the source code of the theme. You can find the original codes of the related components below in the source code.

Appearance

You can set a default theme, add or remove appearance styles by using LeptonXThemeOptions.

• DefaultStyle: Defines the default fallback theme. The default value is Dim

Configure<LeptonXThemeOptions>(options =>
{
    options.DefaultStyle = LeptonXStyleNames.Dark;
});

• Styles: Defines the selectable appearances from UI.

Configure<LeptonXThemeOptions>(options =>
{
    // Removing the existing styles
    options.Styles.Remove(LeptonXStyleNames.Light);

    // Adding a new style
    options.Styles.Add("red", 
        new LeptonXThemeStyle(
        LocalizableString.Create<YourResource>("Theme:Red"),
        "bi bi-circle-fill"));
});

red.css and bootstrap-red.css have to be added under wwwroot/Themes/LeptonX/Global/side-menu/css/ folder for switching to your custom theme properly when selected.

If your layout is TopMenu, then you have to add them under the wwwroot/Themes/LeptonX/Global/top-menu/css/ folder.

LeptonXThemeMvcOptions

Layout options of the MVC Razor Pages UI can be manageable by using LeptonXThemeMvcOptions.

• ApplicationLayout: Layout of the main application. The default value is LeptonXMvcLayouts.SideMenu

  Configure<LeptonXThemeMvcOptions>(options =>
  {
      options.ApplicationLayout = LeptonXMvcLayouts.SideMenu;
      // Or your custom implemented layout:
      options.ApplicationLayout = "~/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
  });
  

• MobileMenuSelector: Defines items to be displayed at the mobile menu. The default value is the first 2 items from the main menu items.

  

  Configure<LeptonXThemeMvcOptions>(options =>
  {
      options.MobileMenuSelector = items => items.Where(x => x.MenuItem.Name == "Home" || x.MenuItem.Name == "Dashboard");
  });
  

Layouts

LeptonX offers two ready-made layouts for your web application. One of them is placed with the menu items on the top and the other with the menu items on the sides.

Top Menu Layout

Side Menu Layout

The layouts are defined in the Themes/LeptonX/Layouts/Application folder and you can override it by creating the file (SideMenuLayout.cshtml or TopMenuLayout.cshtml) with the same name and under the same folder.

There are partial views that are defined in the Themes/LeptonX/Layouts/Application folder. You can override them by creating the file with the same name and under the same folder.

• _Sidebar.cshtml
• _Toolbar.cshtml

Components

Abp helps you make highly customizable UI. You can easily customize your themes to fit your needs. The Virtual File System makes it possible to manage files that do not physically exist on the file system (disk). It's mainly used to embed (js, css, image..) files into assemblies and use them like physical files at runtime.

An application (or another module) can override a virtual file of a module just like placing a file with the same name and extension into the same folder of the virtual file.

LeptonX is built on the Abp Framework, so you can easily customize your Asp.Net Core Mvc user interface by following Abp Mvc UI Customization.
