Introduction

Airframe Dashboard with a minimalist design and innovative Light UI will let you build an amazing and powerful application with great UI. Perfectly designed for large scale applications, with detailed step by step documentation.

This Airframe project is based on NextJs - a popular framework made for React with great Server Side Rendering support. Includes customized Reactstrap for Bootstrap support. Any topic that you won't find here is probably described in NextJs documentation.

Note: If you want to use this project in production, you will need a server supporting NodeJs.

Initial Configuration:

You need to have NodeJs (>= 10.0.0) installed on your local machine, before attempting to run a dev environment.

1. Extract contents of the package to your local machine.
2. Using the Terminal navigate to the extracted contents.
3. Run npm install.

Make sure you have a file called .npmrc in the extracted directory. Those files are typically hidden in Unix based systems.

Development

To start the development environment type npm run dev in the console. This will start a development server with hot reloading enabled.

Production

You can use a shell script included with the package. If you are using a Unix based system run ./build-dist.sh from the terminal, and you will have a ready to deploy package in the /dist directory.

If you can't use the shell script you need to prepare the package manually:

1. Run npm run build
2. Copy those contents to the target machine
   • .next
   • static
   • package.json
   • .npmrc
3. Run npm install on the server where you copied the above contents.
4. You can now start the app by running npm start

Build Customization

You can add additional build features by adding next plugins and configuring them inside the next.config.js file.

Project Details

Some points of interest about the project project structure:

• components - global React components should go here
• styles - styles added here won't be treated as CSS Modules, so any global classes or library styles should go here
• features - page specific components should be found here
• features/Layout - the AppLayout component can be found here which hosts page contents within itself. You can change the Layout component for each page.
• core/colors.js - exports an object with all of the defined colors by the Dashboard. Useful for styling JS based components - for example charts.
• pages - Page components should be here. NextJs will automatically map the file names to Route URLs.

Routing

Route components should be placed in separate directories inside the /routes/ directory. Next you should open /routes/index.js file and attach the component. You can do this in two diffrent ways:

Static Imports

Pages imported statically will be loaded eagerly on PageLoad with all of the other content. There will be no additional loads when navigating to such pages BUT the initial app load time will also be longer. To add a statically imported page it should be done like this:

// Import the default component
import SomePage from './SomePage';
// ...
export const RoutedContent = () => {
    return (
        <Switch>
            { /* ... */ }
            { /* Define the route for a specific path */ }
            <Route path="/some-page" exact component={SomePage} />
            { /* ... */ }
        </Switch>
    );
}

Routing

Routing system is handled by NextJs itself. You can find the documentation here - NextJs Routing

Route specific Layout

Sometimes you might want to display additional content in the Navbar or the Sidebar. To do this you should define a customized Layout component for a particular Page. Example:

1. Create a new Layout component in features/layout. Take the LayoutDefault component as an example.
2. Open the Page Component for a particular route. For example pages/example-page.js.
3. Set the custom Layout Component like this:

import React from 'react';

import { CustomLayout } from
    './../../features/Layout/CustomLayout';

const ExamplePage = () => (
    { /* Page Content Here */ }
);
ExamplePage.layoutComponent = CustomLayout;

export default ExamplePage;

Theming

You can set the color scheme for the sidebar and navbar by providing initialStyle and initialColor to the <ThemeProvider> component which should be wrapping the <Layout> component.

Possible initialStyle values:

• light
• dark
• color

Possible initialColor values:

• primary
• success
• info
• warning
• danger
• indigo
• purple
• pink
• yellow

Programatic Theme Changing

You can change the color scheme on runtime by using the ThemeConsumer from the components. Example:

// ...
import { ThemeContext } from './../components';
// ...
const ThemeSwitcher = () => (
    <ThemeConsumer>
        ({ onChangeTheme }) => (
            <React.Fragment>
                <Button onClick={() => onThemeChange({ style: 'light' })}>
                    Switch to Light
                </Button>
                <Button onClick={() => onThemeChange({ style: 'dark' })}>
                    Switch to Dark
                </Button>
            </React.Fragment>
        )
    </ThemeConsumer>
);

Options provided by the ThemeConsumer:

• style - current theme style
• color - current theme color
• onChangeTheme({ style?, color? }) - allows to change the theme
