Class WBootstrapTheme

java.lang.Object
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WObject
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WTheme
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WBootstrapTheme
public class WBootstrapTheme
extends WTheme
Theme based on the Twitter Bootstrap CSS framework.

This theme implements support for building a JWt web application that uses Twitter Bootstrap as a theme for its (layout and) styling. The theme comes with CSS from Bootstrap version 2.2.2 or version 3.1. Only the CSS components of twitter bootstrap are used, but not the JavaScript (i.e. the functional parts), since the functionality is already built-in to the widgets from the library.

Using this theme, various widgets provided by the library are rendered using markup that is compatible with Twitter Bootstrap. The bootstrap theme is also extended with a proper (compatible) styling of widgets for which bootstrap does not provide styling (table views, tree views, sliders, etc...).

By default, the theme will use CSS resources that are shipped together with the JWt distribution, but since the Twitter Bootstrap CSS API is a popular API for custom themes, you can easily replace the CSS with custom-built CSS (by reimplementing getStyleSheets()).

Although this theme facilitates the use of Twitter Bootstrap with JWt, it is still important to understand how Bootstrap expects markup to be, especially related to layout using its grid system, for which we refer to the official bootstrap documentation, see http://getbootstrap.com

  • Constructor Details

    • WBootstrapTheme

      public WBootstrapTheme​(WObject parent)
      Constructor.

    • WBootstrapTheme

      public WBootstrapTheme()

  • Method Details

    • setResponsive

      public void setResponsive​(boolean enabled)
      Enables responsive features.

      Responsive features can be enabled only at application startup. For bootstrap 3, you need to use the progressive bootstrap feature of JWt as it requires setting HTML meta flags.

      Responsive features are disabled by default.

    • isResponsive

      public boolean isResponsive()
      Returns whether responsive features are enabled.

      See Also:
      setResponsive(boolean enabled)

    • setVersion

      public void setVersion​(WBootstrapTheme.Version version)
      Sets the bootstrap version.

      The default bootstrap version is 2 (but this may change in the future and thus we recommend setting the version).

      Since Twitter Bootstrap breaks its API with a major version change, the version has a big impact on how how the markup is done for various widgets.

      Note that the two Bootstrap versions have a different license: Apache 2.0 for Bootstrap version 2.2.2, and MIT for version 3.1. See these licenses for details.

    • getVersion

      public WBootstrapTheme.Version getVersion()
      Returns the bootstrap version.

      See Also:
      setVersion(WBootstrapTheme.Version version)

    • setFormControlStyleEnabled

      public void setFormControlStyleEnabled​(boolean enabled)
      Enables form-control on all applicable form widgets.

      This is relevant only for bootstrap 3.

      By applying "form-control" on form widgets, they will become block level elements that take the size of the parent (which is in bootstrap's philosphy a grid layout).

      The default value is true.

    • getName

      public java.lang.String getName()
      Description copied from class: WTheme
      Returns a theme name.

      public java.util.List<WCssStyleSheet> getStyleSheets()
