Template Details

This is a companion template subproject for a Django blog project. The repository itself is primarily a Bootstrap 5 template, and the README states its purpose is to provide template support for the main training project. Template source code is placed in the src directory, the views directory holds HTML page templates, and scss and js respectively contain the styles and custom JavaScript modules used by each template. index.js is the webpack entry point, where all resources that need bundling are imported.

For builds, the repository uses npm scripts to produce two distributions: a production bundle aimed at GitHub Pages, mainly for site demonstration; and a development bundle aimed at use by other projects such as Django and Flask. Both distributions merge JS and CSS into single files each; the difference lies only in the output directory structure. Starting from ver2.0, each release includes a dist.zip containing page partials that can be used independently, suitable for use with template processors such as Django templates or Jinja2.

The repository also configures GitHub Actions for deploying Pages and for testing the webpack build and Selenium. The README does not elaborate on which specific page types, data models, or backend features the template includes, so the full functional scope of the blog cannot be confirmed from the available materials.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Django as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

=================================

This repo contains Bootstrap5 templates for the main training project, and
itself is a supporting subproject.

Getting started
---------------

For those who want to use the templates provided in this repository -
the shortest way is to check the 
[release page](https://github.com/openroost/blog-bootstrap/releases).
Starting from `ver2.0` each release has a **dist.zip** attached to it.
There are partials for individual site parts within the archive. These are
suitable for using with template processors (like Django templates or Jinja2).

In case you want to adjust the sources before build:

1. Clone the repo to your local machine
2. Install project dependencies: `npm install`
3. Build templates: `npm run build`
   - to build the developer's version: `npm run build:dev` 

Contents
--------

### Production vs Development bundles

Production bundle is aimed to be served via GitHub pages. It's main purpose is
the site demonstration.

The development bundle is for usage with other projects (Django, Flask etc.).

Both production and development distributions bundle the JS code into a single
file. The same is for CSS. The only difference is the output distribution
structure.

### Sources

All the source are located within **src** directory.

`index.js` file is the entry point for the `webpack`. All resources required
by webpack are to be imported here.

`scss` directory contains individual styles used by various templates.

`js` directory contains custom JavaScript modules used within the project.

`views` directory contains templates for the HTML pages.
