# Angular UI: Theming
## Introduction
ABP Framework provides a complete **UI Theming** system with the following goals:
* Reusable [application modules](../../Modules/Index.md) are developed **theme-independent**, so they can work with any UI theme.
* UI theme is **decided by the final application**.
* The theme is distributed via an NPM package, so it is **easily upgradable**.
* The final application can **customize** the selected theme.
In order to accomplish these goals, ABP Framework;
* Determines a set of **base libraries** used and adapted by all the themes. So, module and application developers can depend on and use these libraries without depending on a particular theme.
* Provides a system that consists of layout parts (like navigation menus and toolbars) that is implemented by all the themes. So, the modules and the application contribute to the layout to compose a consistent application UI.
### Current Themes
Currently, three themes are **officially provided**:
* The [Basic Theme](Basic-Theme.md) is the minimalist theme with the plain Bootstrap style. It is **open source and free**.
* The [Lepton Theme](https://commercial.abp.io/themes) is a **commercial** theme developed by the core ABP team and is a part of the [ABP Commercial](https://commercial.abp.io/) license.
* The [LeptonX Theme](https://x.leptontheme.com/) is a theme that has both [commercial](https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/themes/lepton-x/commercial/angular) and [lite](../../Themes/LeptonXLite/Angular.md) choices.
## Overall
### The Base Libraries
All the themes must depend on the [@abp/ng.theme.shared](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@abp/ng.theme.shared) NuGet package, so they are indirectly depending on the following libraries:
* [Twitter Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) as the fundamental HTML/CSS framework.
* [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com/) as the fundamental CSS font library.
* [NG Bootstrap](https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/home) as a component library that supports the Bootstrap and adds extra components like modal and datepicker.
* [Ngx-Datatable](https://swimlane.gitbook.io/ngx-datatable/) as a datatable library.
* [ngx-validate](https://github.com/ng-turkey/ngx-validate) a dynamic validation of reactive forms library.
* [Chart.js](https://www.chartjs.org/) as a widget library.
These libraries are selected as the base libraries and available to the applications and modules.
> Bootstrap's JavaScript part is not used since the NG Bootstrap library already provides the necessary functionalities to the Bootstrap components in a native way.
### The Layout
All themes must define a layout for the application. The following image shows the user management page in the [Basic Theme](Basic-Theme.md) application layout:
![basic-theme-application-layout](../../images/basic-theme-application-layout.png)
And the same page is shown below with the [Lepton Theme](https://commercial.abp.io/themes) application layout:
![lepton-theme-application-layout](../../images/lepton-theme-application-layout.png)
As you can see, the page is the same, but the look is completely different in the themes above.
The application layout typically includes the following parts;
* Main menu
* Nav items area with the following components;
* User menu
* Language switch dropdown
* [Page alerts](Page-Alerts.md)
* The page content (aka `<router-outlet>`)
## Implementing a Theme
A theme is simply an NPM package and comes with startup templates.
### The Easy Way
The easiest way to create a new theme is to add Basic Theme Source Code to your project via [ABP CLI](../../CLI.md) command and customize it.
You can run the following command in **Angular** project directory to copy the source code to your solution:
`abp add-package @abp/ng.theme.basic --with-source-code`
### Global/Component Styles
Angular can bundle global style files and component styles with components.
See the [component styles](https://angular.io/guide/component-styles) guide on Angular documentation for more information.
### Layout Parts
A typical layout consists of several parts. The theme should include the necessary parts in each layout.
**Example: The Basic Theme has the following parts for the Application Layout**
![basic-theme-application-layout-parts](images/basic-theme-application-layout-parts.png)
The application code and the modules can only show contents in the Page Content part. If they need to change the other parts (to add a menu item, to add a nav item, to change the application name in the logo area...) they should use the ABP Framework APIs.
The following sections explain the fundamental parts pre-defined by the ABP Framework and can be implemented by the themes.
> It is a good practice to split the layout into components/partials, so the final application can override them partially for customization purpose.
#### Logo
The `application` object of an environment file should be configured to get the name and the logo URL of the application to render in the logo part. Additionally, `LogoComponent` can be replaced. See [Component Replacement](Component-Replacement.md) document for more.
The [Application Startup Template](../../Startup-Templates/Application.md) has an implementation of this interface to set the values by the application developer.
#### Main Menu / Routes
`RoutesService` service is used to manage the main menu items and render them on the layout.
**Example: Adding a route to the main menu**
```ts
import { RoutesService, eLayoutType } from '@abp/ng.core';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component(/* component metadata */)
export class AppComponent {
constructor(routes: RoutesService) {
routes.add([
{
path: '/your-path',
name: 'Your navigation',
order: 101,
iconClass: 'fas fa-question-circle',
requiredPolicy: 'permission key here',
layout: eLayoutType.application,
},
{
path: '/your-path/child',
name: 'Your child navigation',
parentName: 'Your navigation',
order: 1,
requiredPolicy: 'permission key here',
},
]);
}
}
```
See the [Modifying the Menu](Modifying-the-Menu.md) document to learn more about the navigation system.
#### Toolbar / Nav Items
`NavItemsService` service is used to get the menu's right part items and render on the layout. You can add an HTML content or Angular component as an element to render.
**Example: Adding an element to right part of the menu**
````ts
import { NavItemsService } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
template: `
<input type="search" placeholder="Search" class="bg-transparent border-0 color-white" />
`,
})
export class MySearchInputComponent {}
@Component(/* component metadata */)
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private navItems: NavItemsService) {
navItems.addItems([
{
id: 'MySearchInput',
order: 1,
component: MySearchInputComponent,
},
{
id: 'SignOutIcon',
html: '<i class="fas fa-sign-out-alt fa-lg text-white m-2"><i>',
action: () => console.log('Clicked the sign out icon'),
order: 101, // puts as last element
},
]);
}
}
````
> See the [How to Add an Element to Right Part of the Menu](Modifying-the-Menu#how-to-add-an-element-to-right-part-of-the-menu) document to learn more on the nav items system.
The theme has a responsibility to add two pre-defined items to the toolbar: Language Selection and User Menu.
##### Language Selection
Language Selection toolbar item is generally a dropdown that is used to switch between languages. `ConfigStateService` is used to get the list of available languages and `SessionStateService` is used to learn the current language.
`SessionStateService` is used to get and set the current language.
**Example: Get the currently selected language**
````ts
import {SessionStateService} from '@abp/ng.core';
//...
constructor(private sessionState: SessionStateService) {
const lang = this.sessionState.getLanguage()
}
````
**Example: Set the selected language**
````ts
import {SessionStateService} from '@abp/ng.core';
//...
constructor(private sessionState: SessionStateService) {
const lang = this.sessionState.setLanguage('en')
}
````
##### User Menu
`UserMenuService` is used to get the user menu's items and render on the dropdown. You can add/update/remove an item by using the service.
You can either pass a `component`, a piece of `html` or a `textTemplate` to render an item.
All of the options are shown below. You can choose either of them.
**Example: Adding/updating/removing an user menu item**
````ts
import { eUserMenuItems } from '@abp/ng.theme.basic';
import { UserMenuService } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
// make sure that you import this component in a NgModule
@Component({
selector: 'abp-current-user-test',
template: `
<a class="dropdown-item pointer" (click)="data.action()">
<i *ngIf="data.textTemplate.icon" [class]="data.textTemplate.icon"></i>
{%{{{ data.textTemplate.text | abpLocalization }}}%}
</a>
`,
})
export class UserMenuItemComponent {
// you can inject the data through `INJECTOR_PIPE_DATA_TOKEN` token
constructor(@Inject(INJECTOR_PIPE_DATA_TOKEN) public data: UserMenu) {}
}
@Component({/* component metadata */})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private userMenu: UserMenuService, private router: Router) {
this.userMenu.addItems([
{
id: 'UserMenu.MyAccount',
order: 1,
// HTML example
html: `<a class="dropdown-item pointer">My account</a>`,
// text template example
textTemplate: {
text: 'AbpAccount::MyAccount',
icon: 'fa fa-cog',
},
// component example
component: UserMenuItemComponent,
action: () => {
this.router.navigateByUrl('/account/manage');
},
},
]);
this.userMenu.patchItem(eUserMenuItems.MyAccount, {
html: `<a class="dropdown-item pointer">My profile</a>`,
});
this.userMenu.removeItem(eUserMenuItems.Logout);
}
}
````
In the example above, added a new user menu item labeled "Reports", updated the "My account" item HTML content, and removed the "Logout" item.

#### Page Alerts
`PageAlertService` service is used to get the current page alerts to render on the layout. See the [Page Alerts](Page-Alerts.md) document to learn more.
