# LEPTON NEXT GENERATION
|
||||
|
||||
We are delighted and proud to announce that the next generation of [Lepton Theme](https://leptontheme.com/) which will be referred as `LeptonX` is on the way. The initial version has been built upon Bootstrap v4. It is because, when we started working on this project, Bootstrap v5 was still on beta versions. We've decided that it would be a good idea to start with a stable Bootstrap version and also to make it extremely easy for ABP users to switch to the `LeptonX` since ABP packages are already dependant on Bootstrap v4.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Lite vs Pro
|
||||
|
||||
The previous version of Lepton Theme has been only available to Commercial ABP customers and it has never been as a standalone template. With `LeptonX`, we aim at a broader audience. With this goal in mind, `LeptonX` will come in different shapes as follows:
|
||||
- A template with HTML, VanillaJS, CSS
|
||||
- You can just download this like any other template and start developing your application.
|
||||
- An angular library (npm package)
|
||||
- An upgradeable angular package contains layouts, components, directives, and services for you to build any application you'd like. If you choose this option, you'll be able to stay up-to-date with `LeptonX` as we will continue to introduce new features.
|
||||
- A standalone Angular template that contains code of the npm package above
|
||||
- You can also download an angular template that contains the library above. You can edit it as you see fit, however, it will be harder to integrate new features once they become available.
|
||||
- Lite versions of the three above
|
||||
- We will also publish free versions of everything we've listed above which will contain fewer features than pro versions. The differences will be mentioned in the later sections of this post.
|
||||
- Free ABP packages for all of the clients available, MVC, Blazor, and Angular that utilizes Lite packages
|
||||
- Client-specific packages that employ `LeptonX-Lite` for open source ABP users to easily switch between `ThemeBasic` to `ThemeLeptonX`
|
||||
- Commercial ABP packages for all of the clients available, MVC, Blazor, and Angular that utilizes Pro packages
|
||||
- Client-specific packages that employ, provide and extend all of the features that `LeptonX-Pro` packages have.
|
||||
|
||||
As is seen above, `LeptonX` environment contains multiple projects that are designed for different kinds of users.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mobile-First (Pro Only)
|
||||
|
||||
When people talk about Responsive Web Applications, they usually refer to a side menu or top menu that shrinks down into a hamburger menu which does not provide a good user experience for mobile users.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, widely used native mobile applications usually employ a tab menu stick to the bottom of the screen. People have become acquainted with this type of experience. With this UX in mind, menus in the `LeptonX` theme switches to the tab menu on mobile resolution as opposed to the hamburger menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** In the Lite version, a hamburger menu will take its place and behave like a standard RWA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Theme Builder (Pro Only)
|
||||
|
||||
Following the latest trends, `LeptonX` comes with three built-in themes, `dark`, `dim`, `light`.
|
||||
A theme builder is also provided with the `LeptonX` which you can run with your brand colors and create your own theme.
|
||||
It is built with CSS variables which enables runtime theme building. Your users will be able to choose colors and change the application to their liking.
|
||||
|
||||
** The only theme that will available to the lite version is the `dim` theme.
|
||||
|
||||
## Side Menu Layout (Lite and Pro)
|
||||
|
||||
The following layout will be provided as default for both lite and pro versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** The Context Menu shown on the side is only available in Pro.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple Layouts (Pro Only)
|
||||
|
||||
`LeptonX` is being developed with such an architecture that it will be easy to replace the layout. You will be given many options to choose any layout you prefer.
|
||||
|
||||
Take a look at the example below:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also develop your own layouts using the built-in components.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alpha Version
|
||||
|
||||
Soon, we will release an alpha version of the `LeptonX Lite` package. The ABP Angular package will tag along. Once the packages are released, we would like you to try them out and give us feedback. It will help us improve the `LeptonX` greatly.

# LEPTON NEXT GENERATION
|
||||
|
||||
We are delighted and proud to announce that the next generation of [Lepton Theme](https://leptontheme.com/) which will be referred to as `LeptonX` is on the way.
|
||||
|
||||
At Volosoft, we care about developer experience as much as user experience. Thus, `LeptonX` is following the latest trends for a better user experience and provides highly customizable features that will be easy to use. Our APIs follow a strict guideline to be easy-to-use, intuitive, extendable, and replaceable. In short, we'd like `LeptonX` to grow into such a platform that developers (not just ABP developers) love to build their applications on top of, and end-users love to interact with.
|
||||
|
||||
The initial version has been built upon Bootstrap v4. Bootstrap v5 has been recently published and the ecosystem has not caught up yet. In addition, ABP packages are already dependant on Bootstrap v4, it will be easy to switch from `ThemeBasic` or `ThemeLepton` to `LeptonX`.
|
||||
|
||||
We believe that the bigger the community is, the better the framework turns out to be. As we have done in our other products, we will release a free-to-use version of `LeptonX`, a.k.a `LeptonX-Lite` which will contain most of the core features. With `LeptonX-Lite`, free ABP templates will come with a production-ready theme, and existing applications will be able to switch from `ThemeBasic` to `LeptonX-Lite` with ease.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## The LeptonX Ecosystem
|
||||
|
||||
The previous version of Lepton Theme has been only available to Commercial ABP customers and it has never been as a standalone template. With `LeptonX`, we aim at a broader audience. With this goal in mind, `LeptonX` can be integrated into any tech stack you'd prefer as well as the ABP Framework. That's why you'll be offered a variety of packages as follows:
|
||||
- A template with HTML, VanillaJS, CSS (Not ABP Related)
|
||||
- You can just download this like any other template and start developing your application.
|
||||
- An angular library (Not ABP Related)
|
||||
- An upgradeable angular package contains layouts, components, directives, and services for you to build any application you'd like. If you choose this option, you'll be able to stay up-to-date with `LeptonX` as we will continue to introduce new features.
|
||||
- A standalone Angular template that contains code of the npm package above (Not ABP Related)
|
||||
- You can also download an angular template that contains the library above. You can edit it as you see fit, however, it will be harder to integrate new features once they become available.
|
||||
- Free ABP packages for all of the clients available, MVC, Blazor, and Angular that utilizes Lite packages
|
||||
- Client-specific packages that employ `LeptonX-Lite` for open-source ABP users to easily switch between `ThemeBasic` to `LeptonX`
|
||||
- Commercial ABP packages for all of the clients available, MVC, Blazor, and Angular that utilizes Pro packages
|
||||
- Client-specific packages that employ, provide and extend all of the features that `LeptonX-Pro` packages have.
|
||||
|
||||
As is seen above, the `LeptonX` ecosystem contains multiple projects that are designed for different kinds of users.
|
||||
|
||||
## Better Mobile UX
|
||||
|
||||
When people talk about Responsive Web Applications, they usually refer to a side menu or top menu that shrinks down into a hamburger menu which does not provide a good user experience for mobile users.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, widely used native mobile applications usually employ a tab menu stick to the bottom of the screen. People have become acquainted with this type of experience. With this UX in mind, menus in the `LeptonX` theme switches to the tab menu on the mobile resolution as opposed to the hamburger menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Theme Builder
|
||||
|
||||
Following the latest trends, `LeptonX` comes with three built-in themes, `dark`, `dim`, `light`.
|
||||
A theme builder (written in SASS) is provided with the `LeptonX` which you can run with your brand colors and create your own theme as well.
|
||||
|
||||
`LeptonX` is built on top of CSS variables that enable runtime theme building. In the future, we may release a color picker that can create custom themes. Each user can create their own color palettes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
`LeptonX` is being developed with such an architecture that it will be easy to replace the layout. You will be given many options to choose any layout you prefer.
|
||||
|
||||
Take a look at the following layouts:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## LeptonX-Lite
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned above, there will be a free-to-use version of `LeptonX`. It will contain most of the features and components that the pro version has. However, there will be some differences between lite and pro as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- The mobile tab navigation bar shown above will be only available to pro. In the lite version, a hamburger menu will take its place.
|
||||
- The lite version will be released just with the side menu layout although we may release more in the future as our infrastructure makes it easy to develop and replace layouts.
|
||||
- Different color options and the ability to change colors during runtime are pro-only features. CSS of the lite version is built with the `dim` colors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alpha Version
|
||||
|
||||
As we have mentioned above, both user and developer experience mean a great deal to us. Therefore, we will release an alpha version of the `LeptonX Lite` package and the free `ABP Angular` package soon to start collecting feedback from our users. Once the packages are released, we would like you to try them out and give us feedback. It will help us improve the `LeptonX` greatly. We plan to release a stable version later this year.
