Page History

A custom MVC UI theme can be created if the use of default Blueriq themes is not desired.

...

The MVC UI has two default themes (bootstrap3 and bootcards) and has support for custom made themes. A theme is basically a set of files and some configuration that consists of the following components:

...

Getting started

The base of a theme is the index file from which the main page is built. Blueriq uses a template engine called StringTemplate to make server properties available in the client.

A default Blueriq index page is injected with a template context that features the following properties:

context.sessionId

string

context.theme

string

context.webResourcesBasePath

string

context.apiBasePath

string

context.currentPage

{ [elementKey: string]: Element }

context.developmentMode

boolean

context.sessionTimeout

integer

Creating the index file

The index file is the starting point of a custom theme and is a StringTemplate template that follows a certain structure. For full details on the StringTemplate syntax and usage please check the official documentation. The purpose of the initial page is to load all the required resources (e.g. JavaScript or CSS files) and to provide a base layout.

1. Create a UI/mvc folder in 

   Include Page
   _ConfigLocation _ConfigLocation

    and put the custom index file (for example custom_dashboard.stg) here.
2. Create a webresources/mvc folder in 

   Include Page
   _ConfigLocation _ConfigLocation

    and put the JavaScript and CSS files here (optionally in /js and /css sub folders).
3. Add a configuration section for your custom theme to 

   Include Page
   _PropertiesFileJava _PropertiesFileJava

    in

Configuration

In order to configure your theme so it will be known by the Runtime several properties must be set. The following example shows properties for registering a theme named "custom_dashboard" in both Java and .NET:

...

...

The mvc.themes or name property specifies the name for the theme which will be displayed in the Runtime theme selector. The other two properties specify which StringTemplate index file should be used and which StringTemplate function should be called to render the index page (see "Creating the index file" above). The path to the index file is relative to either the JAR/DLL or the
