This package provides a Theme for the Backpack for Laravel administration panel, that uses CoreUI v4 and implicitly Bootstrap v5. All esthetic customizations on top of CoreUI are done in separate CSS files, which can be easily edited if you don't like them.
The file structure inside this package is the same as CoreUI v2, which is the same as Backpack v3, v4 and v5. If you want to upgrade to Bootstrap v5 and a modern theme, but you've heavily customized your blade files... this theme will be the easiest to upgrade to.
Because this a 1st party theme, you can quickly install it using
php artisan backpack:require:theme-coreuiv4
Alternatively, follow the manual installation process below.
Step 1. Install via Composer
composer require backpack/theme-coreuiv4
Step 2. Go to config/backpack/ui.php
and change your view namespace:
- 'view_namespace' => 'backpack::',
+ 'view_namespace' => 'backpack.theme-coreuiv4::',
Step 3. (Optional) Publish the theme config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="theme-coreuiv4-config"
To uninstall this Backpack theme:
composer remove backpack/theme-coreuiv4
rm -rf config/backpack/theme-coreuiv4.php
php artisan backpack:require:theme-tabler
) or change the view_namespace
in config/backpack/ui.php
to the theme you want to be active.If you need to change a blade file in any way, you can easily copy-paste the file to your app, and modify that file any way you want. If you do that to the correct directory, your file will be used instead of the one in the package. But please keep in mind that you will NOT be getting any updates for that file.
The more files you copy-paste and customize, the more difficult it will be to upgrade to newer versions. So please avoid doing this too much.
# create the custom directory if it's not already there
mkdir -p resources/views/vendor/backpack/theme-coreuiv4
# copy the blade file inside the folder we created above
cp -i vendor/backpack/theme-coreuiv4/src/resources/views/dashboard.blade.php resources/views/vendor/backpack/theme-coreuiv4/dashboard.blade.php
